Little is known by the public, within Curtin University Malaysia lies Wan Gastro, a food kiosk that sells its original blend of Tex-Mex Cuisine. Maybe I have eaten a lot of Tex-Mex cuisine yet have never care to realise the word or the meaning of "Tex-Mex" until I look up from Wikipedia recently. Other than as the nickname for the Texas Mexican Railway, Tex-Mex is actually a fusion between American and Mexican cuisines. This type of cuisine originated from the Tejanos, Texan who are of Mexican descent.
THE CAFE
Wan Gastro is located at the Chancellery Plaza, which is in front of the Library. The area has an open air space with tall ceilings and arc which directs air ventilation. The cafe also comes with wooden chairs and tables with metal frames that make it to have a little classical feel for photographs.

I do like Tex-Mex food! We have a lot of good Mexican restaurants nearby, but for great Tex-Mex I feel like we have to go to American Southwest . That is an interesting menu selection!
I believe the taste there is really amazing by your description. I would really like to try one day as well :)

I'm in Kuala Lumpur now but have lived in the states, where Tex-Mex is common. I was thinking I might try to get there, but I see you are very far from here!
It all looks so yummy and a sight for my hungry eyes. I will have to settle for some Nasi Lemak next time I go out the door :)
If u have chance coming here, do drop by :) I believe kl have a lot as well, just not as much as at the states of course. But hopeful you get to find flavour that suit your choice as well :)
