You can get their signature Peri-Peri Chicken (1 piece) with rice and sidings, and for a lot of people that would be mighty plenty. For those with a heartier appetite (Read: me), I can get two pieces for around P250! That would be an appetizer in some places (You know this is true). Fuego Amigo also has pork ribs, chops, and slabs on the menu, and they're all very, VERY good and right on the budget. While Fuego Amigo has a limited menu, that comes across as a strength to me as there doesn't seem to be a weak dish in the lineup. And it's a comfy, relaxed enough place to kick back and have a couple of beers at night. Yes, the beers are cheap too.

Budget-friendly quality chicken that's perfectly cooked and seasoned well. For 139 pesos, you get a quarter chicken, rice, and a choice of a side dish. Spend a bit more at 219 and you get half a chicken already. I'm happy I now have more choices within walking distance of my office! The HMR Pioneer Market compound also has shops inside that sell anything from fresh fruits to Himalayan pink salt.

Though the restaurant is not perfect, we truly enjoyed the customer service and how fast the service was. We had our food in minutes! The server also was very accommodating and even assisted my daughter in taking advantage of a free Supercard, birthday treat (which consists of one chicken meal and their famous dips and side of french fries), and was very nice to instruct her on how to claim her free pizza at Shakey's! The food was amazing and we truly enjoyed the chicken and the dips! It was a very enjoyable and one-of-a kind dining experience, indeed! Then just last Sunday, we went to Peri-Peri Charcoal in Festival Mall, Alabang, right after worship service, for lunch and for my son's birthday, expecting the SAME LEVEL OF SERVICE, with what we experienced in Peri-Peri Charcoal SM Southmall. We went in the restaurant, with dirty tables from previous customers, and the restaurant staff doesn't even bother one bit even if they already saw us. We thought maybe they're just busy since it's a Sunday and so we let it pass. Minutes passed but they're still not entertaining us. It feels as if we're not there. If my daughter did not ask for a menu from the staff, we will not start the process of ordering our food! The server just gave us the menu by just tossing it loudly on our tables as if she's mad or we are just a waste of time for them. It's very rude and unprofessional! My daughter also asked for one of tables to be cleaned but they just said that they're understaffed and the person who will clean the table is still not available! What??!! We let it pass since we just came from our worship service and the Pastor preached something about patience! So we just transferred to a "clean" table. It doesn't look clean and definitely doesn't smell clean. It still smell of the food from the previous customer who ate there minus the used plates and the food. They don't sanitize the table after removing the previous customer's plates and utensils. We waited for more than an hour for our food and finally, was served with it, BUT it was not our food! It's the next table's order. Good thing my daughter, who is already starving, did not eat the garlic bread or else it could have been worse! The food was served in a "carinderia" manner. The server did not even include the dips for the chicken, they only told us that it's "self-service"! One of our plates is dirty with still a trace of spaghetti on one of them! Disgusting! One of the pitcher of water on the other table has something floating on it! We saw it with our own eyes, and we want to throw up right then and there! In general, the experience at Peri-Peri Charcoal Chicken Festival Mall is VERY FRUSTRATING, IT'S FILTHY and SUCH A WASTE OF MONEY! Your product is food and you should follow strict guidelines when it comes to food handling and service or else you will all lose your customers. Remember, without us, your customers, your diners, you will all not have a business. Please take care of your customers. We are paying for good food and good service to spend time with our families and enjoy a meal. WE DON'T DESERVE THIS KIND OF SERVICE! You can all do better than this!

The chicken was juicy and definitely have lots of flavor. We also got a Carbonara that was super creamy we finished the whole thing in under 10mins and lastly we got the Peri Peri wings Duo with flavors of Cajun Remoulade, and Chili Peppa which was so good crunchy and saucy on the outside and juicy on the inside. Overall, I'd give it a 10/10. Good customer service and the place is very clean. This location is located inside the venice grand canal mall.

On the sides were two dishes of chopped cheddar and chopped ham! I explained to the waitress how a Denny's ham n cheese omelette was made. She took it back. They then cooked fresh eggs, layered in the chopped ham, then cheese. Melted just right, folded it, placed it on a clean plate, and served it to me. Delicious.

We took our chances at going inside and sampling Buffalo Bro's mainly because of how the sign looked - hip and edgy without being overwhelmingly pretentious. Naturally, we were attracted. Upon entering, we were at awe seeing the chalk artworks adorning the walls. My friend and I, being on a food tour, just got an order of their sweet ribs platter with a siding or macaroni and cheese plus an upgrade to dirty rice. Boy, were we so happy! The macaroni and cheese was yummy and buttery, with the pasta cooked al dente. The dirty rice was the perfect complement to the indeed sweet ribs that were so tender, there was no need for us to use our knives. Hopefully I can come back soon and bring my Dad along with me as I'm sure he'll love it here. With that happening, we'll probably go to the area more often.

I was never a fan of chicken wings. They always seemed like scraps than a full meal. What could you…read moredo with wings, right? However, thanks to a certain someone (you know who you are and I blame you entirely), I ended up developing a taste for wings. Turns out they're pretty good when done right... and man, do these guys do their wings right. They've got enough flavor, they aren't dry and there's this barest hint of a crunch in the skin. Wonderful wings. And their ribs. They're fall off the bone tender and very flavorful. Couple that with their sides and their rice (can someone say awesome mac n' cheese?)... you have a perfectly filling meal for under 300php. Really, 220php for ribs? Where are you gonna find 200 peso ribs that aren't cardboard?! Then there are equally great burgers and sandwiches... there are just a lot of things on the menu I could gush about forever. Definitely a great place to go no matter what meal needs to be fulfilled.

My favorite, the Salpicao Medallion, is expertly made with meat that is tender and perfectly seasoned. Their Chicken Yakitori is also a wonder. Just imagine grilled chicken wrapped in bacon and served with rice that's just as flavorful as the chicken. I also love their Smoked Salmon Truffle Sushi! The truffle may be a little overpowering in taste but there's still that hint of smoked salmon that immediately makes me grab another piece. For dessert, you can try their Bread Pudding which isn't overly sweet but still delicious. This is definitely one of the places I'd never put to the torch (get it?).

They've got some Japanese, Italian, Filipino/Spanish... But the common denominator is they're all good and rich. The Salpicao Medallion, Spicy Tuna Tartare, Gambas Pizza, Prosciutto Pizza, and Cream Cheese Salmon Roll are just some of my top picks! Everything's seasoned and cooked really well. Expect a really tasty, satisfying meal when you eat here. The place just gets a little stuffy, especially when all the "torched" meat dishes are served on the tables, because the smoke just goes everywhere. They really need to improve on their ventilation, but the fact that people keep eating there regardless should show how decent the place is. Definitely a reliable choice for group dinners, whether with family or friends 'cause there's something for everybody.

What Stoner's did was take every single thing you could batter and deep fry and put it on one menu. When I say everything, I mean everything. Wings, chicken, fish, bacon, corndogs, oreos, chocolate... everything. I'll have to say though, I like their corndogs better than the ones at the Soul Food Truck for the simple reason that for 50php, you get the whole hotdog. Their breading isn't so thick and it's served with honey mustard. A good combination. When you're in somewhere like the Z Compound, that's a pretty smart move. It's the sort of food that's popular with the kids and given that the Z's population is mostly kids? That's a given. The staff's pretty great too. They work efficiently and are willing to deliver your order wherever you're sitting in the Compound. Also, they said their bar stools were reserved for a group but let me hang around while I ate my corndog. For what you pay, it's also a good deal. Their menu runs along the 150php-ish range but you get a good amount of deep fried goodness with each serving. Definitely not a place I'd go for a meal every single chance I get for fear of cutting my life short a few years but it's a tempting offer to.

It has found a niche as one of the few places in the The Z that offers dessert, and so customers always snap up the perennial favorite deep-fried Oreos, which is basically just everybody's favorite sandwich, dunked in pancake batter and fried to golden perfection in hot oil. They also have spuds in all yummy varities such as fries, crinkle-cut potatoes and hash browns.For a heavy snack, I get the fish and chips, their tender pieces of white fish fillets fried in batter and served with french fries.

Luckily, The Burger Project meets all of these qualifications to be a Maginhawa standard. The restaurant is cozy, with seating both inside and outside. You can seat larger parties here but be prepared to be brushing elbows. It helps the place feel more homey. The menu of available toppings and pre made combinations alongside sides and drinks are written artfully in chalk above the cash register and condiments bar. They have this cool template where you can literally build your own burger, customizing everything from the bun to the cheese to sauces, condiments and everything in between! Be warned though, every upgrade comes at a price and it can add up quickly. The standard patty is a very generous serving, and familiar to most Filipino palates, it's a bit on the saltier side. I do, however, appreciate its flavor and juiciness so I don't really think it's a deal breaker. Some standout add-ons to the burgers here include an egg, adobo aioli, a grilled pineapple slice, and garlic cream cheese among more standard and out there choices. I love their fries too! Definitely good for sharing for the size. I recommend the sweet potato fries (₱70), The Animal Style Fries (a nod to In-N-Out's famous fries of the same name), and the garlic aioli fries. They're great, especially the sweet potato fries because they walk a really nice line between kamote fries you'd buy on the street and the sweet potato fries you'd see at more American places.
