Welcome to Thai Caliente!
I’m Renee, and I share Thai and Mexican recipes with easy-to-follow instructions and videos. I want to help you be confident in the kitchen making your favorite recipes and discovering new flavors!
Thai Caliente focuses on Thai and Mexican Recipes, because they are a reflection of my Family.
I have a deep connection to both Thai and Mexican cuisine, as I learned Thai recipes from my Mom and Mexican recipes from my mother-in-law. Growing up, my mom owned a Thai restaurant, which is where my passion for food and cooking truly ignited.

Now, as a mom myself, I completely understand the daily struggles and time limitations that come with trying to prepare a delicious, home-cooked meal each evening. I strive to preserve traditional recipes from my family while also showcasing that cooking doesn’t have to be complicated. Using shortcuts like pre-cut veggies and store-bought curry paste is a great time saver.

Watching cooking videos, learning from my mom, and practicing in the kitchen helped me gain confidence. It’s also what inspired me to start Thai Caliente to preserve my family’s recipes. I soon learned that my audience also wanted to re-create recipes they enjoyed growing up.
Reader Christina says: “This is the closest recipe I could find to her tacos. I always wondered if the way she made tacos is common. I’ve never seen them in a restaurant in the US. Everyone loved her tacos. I never heard her call them picadillo but she also didn’t talk to us in Spanish often. Thanks for sharing the recipe, now I know what to call the tacos.” Mexican Picadillo Tacos
I always try my best to give you options and clear instructions in each recipe so you can make them perfectly. But if you’re already a confident cook, you know that cooking is all about what you like best. So, don’t be afraid to change things up, add your favorite ingredients, and make the recipes your own!
