Carbonara
Jeff C.

The location and view from this restaurant are just spectacular. You can spend the whole afternoon, watching boats come and go, or just check out tourist strolling on the beach. And of course, Nido's towering monolithic rocks certainly adds to the atmosphere of awe. The main issue that I have with place is that the food just seemed to be ok. Now, to be fair, this may have more to do with the state of culinary affairs in the Philippines than this restaurant in particular. My Carbonara, like so many other dishes in the Philippines, cried out for seasoning. I tried to bring it back to life with salt, but it just wasn't happening. On the other hand, the staff were very friendly and accommodating.

Great portions and very fresh seafood! Right on the water! Place looks like bare bones but they come through with their dishes. I really like their butter fish! Staff is very friendly.

Filipino owned with beachfront views on the back side of the restaurant. There are 2 sides to the restaurant and 2 entrances, so even if there is a wait, it will not be long. The aunties here are incredibly accommodating and QUICK; they really push orders through, simultaneously serving your food hot and fresh. Another restaurant we visited twice and by happenstance since they happened to be open on a Sunday morning, the day of rest. We had Garlic Shrimp and Bistek Tagalog an evening before and some Silog the following morning. The lunch/ dinner entrees are also family style portions here and come with rice. They are ~300-350 PHP for each entree. Bistek was on point and the garlic shrimp was so big and buttery. This is such a steal at 350 PHP. The silog dishes were gratifying. Bigger helping of tasty meat too. Only 1 fried egg, but the garlic rice was unique and delicious. The restaurant is very no frills; they even have a tabo in the bathroom! So Filipino! Experience the best and the most here!

The food is good but but I think our server forgot to put our order in. By the time that the last food order arrived the food in our table was already cold. I took pictures of the initial food items that came but after that I quit because I was already annoyed about the wait Ambiance was egghhhh place was kind of dirty.

Great restaurant for seafood in El Nido, with a beachfront view. We came here for lunch and though there aren't as many options as there is during the dinner hour, we were pleased with our seafood meals. It was quiet on a weekday for lunch service, so being the only table there, we had great and fast service. While my boyfriend ordered the Grilled Marlin Plate I ordered Shrimp Sinigang. It didn't take long for us to get our food. I loved the broth of my Shrimp Sinigang! It was very sour, just like how my mom makes it, so I really enjoyed it. Fresh shrimp was perfectly cooked and there was a lot of shrimp in it. You just have to remember to de-shell the shrimp yourself since that's where all the flavor comes from, so it was messy to eat. But it was worth it. I also liked how much green beans and eggplant were in the dish, too. It was one of the best sinigangs I had while in the Philippines! If you want more options, visit Angel Wish during dinner where they have a stand of fresh seafood that you can select and request however you'd like it to be prepared and cooked. They also open up their tables right out on the beach during the evening, for that beachfront experience that El Nido is known for. We were glad to have checked out Angel Wish during our visit.

Do you know how much we paid for a seafood FEAST and alcohol beverages for 4 people?? Less than $50!! Yes, seriously... Don't even look at the menu - just ask what they have fresh out of the water and tell them how you want it cooked. We've ordered lobsters, crabs, huge shrimp, grouper, and all types of fresh fish. We ate goooooood. Make sure you try the garlic rice! Plus, service is good. The best part is that you can haggle with the guys on the prices. We got our lobsters for less than $10 each! Oh yea, and you're right on the beach.

Pork Sisig

Thinking this might be the most authentic Filipino place in town. No gimmicks just fresh food and nice people. Three nights in a row we went there. I recommend the chef JoJo fish. It's the fresh catch of the day so it's not the same twice. Sisig is good as well.

Calamaries was just OK.
Leonides R.

I only went to 2 restaurants in El Nido, but I was very satisfied with the food here. We ordered some Mussels on a sizzling plate, it was very good. And also this dish called Gamba Shrimp and its was very good and spicy. And also some grilled pork bellies (liempo), this was also very good. The calamaries was just OK. The place wasn't fancy, but I like the authenticity of it.

They are located right on the beach in Central El Nido on Rizal Street. Unlike other "Filipino" restaurants around town, you will actually see local Filipino families dining in. That's how you know it's legit! We visited twice while in El Nido. The 1st time around, we pointed at the fresh seafood outside to have it grilled up and served to us upstairs some time later. I had a Unicorn Fish, a sweet, slightly briny white fish native to El Nido. My friend had a fresh Yellowtail and we also opted for the biggest should-be lobster prawn they had. So delicious. The 2nd visit, we watched the sunset from a window side table as a close to our island hopping tours. On said visit, we ordered Sizzling Pork Sisig, Beef Kaldereta, and Crispy Pata. Each dish was absolutely ginormous and automatically comes with rice. The ultimate best value on the island! Yes, dishes such as Crispy Pata and Sisig are on the fluffier/ fattier side but that's what makes it GOOD. Beef Kaldereta was saucier than I am accustomed but I engorged myself in its richness. Keep in mind, dishes are 250-350 PHP but are served as family style portions. Service was hit or miss at least when it came to getting the bill, but you really gotta raise your hand and yell at them -- it is the way, the Filipino way! They are also more likely to cater to the locals first which may contribute to a wait, but with such a beautiful view in paradise and the bustling of the restaurant teeming with people watching opportunities including some adings coming around selling home-made pastillas de leche, there is just so much to distract while you wait the some times 20-30 minutes for your food.

They serve beer, cocktails and some food -- mostly seafood/ Spanish and tapas/ apps. As its name would suggest, this is an easy place to witness the show stopping El Nido sunsets. The square footage of the bar/ restaurant is of a reasonable size with some high top seating looking out towards the ocean under any awning (upstairs and ground level), a few tables, and bar seating. I came a little before sunset for a couple of San Migs to experience the splendor at one of their choice high top chairs looking out to the sea. Front row seats at its finest. Oddly, Filipinos have a strange fascination with deep house which was bumping rather loudly and was off putting to some older gentleman who proceeded to turn down the volume without the permission of the workers. A little slice of paradise is sure to be had here if one chooses smartly just to sip and savor and shut out the rest of the world, especially one of the overprivileged tourist.
