Daniel is Swedish but has been based in Phuket since 2009, and runs his own event catering company. Texas Steak House is his latest venture.
“I think it’s a great concept for Phuket, and I think it’s something the island needs. The food is very good and affordable, we make all the food fresh – we even make the nacho chips ourselves.”
Most food on the menu is in the B200-400 price range, with items like chilli cheese fries, pulled pork sliders, pork ribs, nachos, burgers, sandwiches, quesadillas, tacos and fajitas – plus imported steak.
Daniel’s opened up the restaurant because he loves the food and spent a lot of time working with Mexican chefs when he lived and worked in California.
