Kuta – TJ’s Mexican Restaurant
TJ’s is on Poppies Lane 1 in Kuta, Bali. It’s a great little restaurant that offers a reasonable sample of Mexican cuisine.
It is a little pricier than the backpacker places but almost all restaurants are a good value in Kuta when compared to elsewhere.
A 15 percent tax and service fee is automatically added to the bill.
Figure on a good meal and one drink starting at 75,000 rupiah.
A wide selection of drinks and deserts are available so it is easy to spend well over 100,000 rupiah (11 USD)
The fajitas are not bad when you figure this is a long way from Mexico.
For those on a super budget there are a few nasi goring places in the alleyways that make a good meal for around 5,000 rupiah (50 cents US)
I am not that proud and admit to having run short on cash in the past and take pride in the fact that I can live pretty good on 5 USD a day in Indonesia.
I like Indonesian food but it took a few years to get used to the chilis.
TJs is also a good landmark on Poppies Lane 1. If you turn up the alley at the doorway to TJs and follow it up a hundred meters or so you will see Lima Satu Cottages.
This is a nice place with pool and air conditioning and has a loyal Japanese clientele.
The Taman Ayu is just a few doors down and is a great place for the budget traveler. At 45,000 rupiah a night it is one on the better values in Kuta.
Just across the road is the ultra budget place the Homestay Puriagung where a decent room can be had for 30,000 rupiah.
Bali is a good place to rest and fatten up if you have been on the trail for a while.

Tried TJ’s while I was there last week. Gotta say the food wasn’t too shabby. The enchiladas n tacos were good. A bit disappointed with the buffalo wings thou. Overall, it wasn’t too bad. Would defo be back just for the enchiladas alone :)
Hello Puspa S,
Thanks for the review!
cheers
