About Thai Tea House
Thai Tea House is a Thai restaurant and tea house on Avenida Molino del Rey, in the Insurgentes Oeste neighborhood of Mexicali. It has a 4.9 rating from 634 Google reviews, and its kitchen is Thai, not the Cantonese-style Chinese food that dominates Mexicali.
The place is small: wood-paneled walls, its backlit logo and a handful of tables, plus outdoor seating. Reviews describe it as calm and cozy, with quick service, and warn that it sometimes fills up and you may wait a little.
What to order at Thai Tea House
Google reviews keep mentioning the pad thai, chicken khao soi, drunken noodles, green curry, orange chicken, crab rangoon and wonton soup. For dessert, the mango sticky rice, which the restaurant's own photos show served with blue rice.
Here you choose the spice level, from 1 to 5, and several reviews warn that even level 1 is hot. For drinks you choose the sugar (25, 50, 75 or 100%): there are teas, lemonades with lychee jelly and boba drinks.

“If you come you have to try their Orange chicken… The space is very nice, just keep in mind it is small and sometimes you may wait a bit to get in if it is busy, but it is worth the wait!”
— Yosei Galvez · Google · June 2026
“It is super tasty, but there are few tables so it sometimes fills up. The good thing is you can book a table. I recommend the pad thai and the wonton soup.”
