I'm not a fan of Mexican food, but Chihuahua has warmed me up to the cuisine. I love seeing all the…read moreingredients laid before me and how they all come together to provide me with a filling meal. Their servings are pretty big! But the flavors are also moderate enough for a novice like myself, someone who will get a burrito bowl because it has giniling (ground meat) more than anything else. On a date with my boyfriend (who constantly gets Mexican cravings), Chihuahua is good enough, too. To Mex up his experience, he just gets more guacamole and jalapeños on the side so it works out. Chihuahua is an accessible Tex-Mex restaurant at a reasonable price for the quality of their food and service.

The other being…read morethe absolute failure AGAVE, it's always dissapointed, since the new owners took over some time ago. Read my review of Agave before you're dissapointed. As far as Chiuahua goes, the food has more flavor, there's no wait staff, as you simply place your order at a cashier and wait for the drop off. Is it amazing, no, but it's great for a pseudo Mexican food fix. It's too hot in the restaurant, so you can sit under the fan and have your food get cold and soggy quickly, whilst your napkins blow around, or sweat your butt off. Your choice. If it's AGAVE with obnoxious, rude servers and patrons, with deafening music and drunk loud crazy laughter, or a hot restaurant with better food, give me the hot restaurant ANYDAY!!! Chiuahu is worth a try, stay away from AGAVE, or don't, and be pissed off with everthing, food included! I've eaten at both several times and I live in Arizona (Native) have been all over Mexico and speak Spanish, so I'm well aware of what's crap and what's awesome. Chihuahua is a 3 out of 10, not bad for Asia.

Yesterday, we tried the newest Señor Pollo branch and thank God it's finally in the south!…read more The place is more cozier than the other branches and its perfect for a late night affordable dinning. The food is good but the one in Makati is much tastier and flavorful but it does not disappoint. Service is fast, our order came in for like 8-10mins and the staff are friendly and accommodating. My must tries: Señor Pollo's roast (always and forever) patatas bravas, spicy rice, tossed salad, mashed potato, soyrizo quesadilla and cheese and garlic quesadilla. Also, the melon shake is sooo goood! Its a bit pricy but it's really refreshing and sweet.

Whether you want a pulled pork burrito or the grilled chicken version, their rolled up creations are always flavorful and satisfying. Don't miss out on their Nacho Supreme. It offers a good dose of sour cream, melted mozzarella, salsa and guacamole on top of a hefty serving of crunchy nacho chips. An order is good enough to be shared by a group of 4 for appetizers. Check out their different promos as well. They had Tuesday Fish Tacos last time we visited. Which means their P90 fish tacos are buy one, take one. You can get it on the crisp shell and as the soft taco version...both are extremely good. If you have a big appetite for Mexican food, you should definitely try their chimichanga...basically a deep-fried burrito, this monster of a meal can really hit the spot. Golden crunchy outer layer and meaty and bursting with flavor inside - that's one Mexican combination that packs a powerful punch.

BAJA TIME! Dun dun dun dun dun. Dun dun…read more Baja in Spanish means to fall or drop. Now, if that's what they meant to happen to us when they introduced Unlimited Mojitos and Margaritas to us alcohol-loving folk, then I'll take it! It's an all-day, err'day kinda thing at Baja. And they don't even water down the alcohol. You get quality tequila in your margarita at P295 for the drink-all-you-can promo. Aside from the drinks, you are guaranteed with good food, too! The Mexican food fan in you will seriously love this joint. It's just beside Serenitea and TGIF in Greenbelt 3 - the one near the cinemas. The Baja Fajitas (P375) are everything! They are served in three pieces with your choice of meat or chicken. Or you could opt for a combo. And you better order that Nacho Supreme in large (P275). It's what my nacho day dreams are made of: salsa, sour cream, mozzarella cheese, more salsa and guacamole. You have every option to eat this by yourself or you can share with your group. But if it were me, I'd just have it all to myself.

Down a monster sized wet burrito the next time you visit B&T Mexican Kitchen! The burrito itself…read morehas all the makings of classic replete with rice, beef, vegetables, and everything you know and love about it. Then, topped with tomatillos, ranchero sauce, and cheese, you blow torch it to wet burrito goodness. It definitely satisfies a monstrous craving and this is the type of stuff you see on Man vs Food--no kidding. But all that aside, B&T is an underrated Tex-Mex place that serves everything in gargantuan proportions. Purists may not appreciate it becuase they serve pizza, hotdogs, and burgers, but for those looking for some interesting dishes to try, this is the place for you like the Chicken Mole Meal. Mole is traditional Mexican dish cooked with special chocolate. The chicken breast is cooked in the chocolate mixture and topped on rice with sour cream and cheese. It also comes with tortilla chips. It takes a bit of getting used to at first because of all the chocolate that goes in it, but hey it's something you can say you've tried. If you're not that big on experimenting, their Quesadilla Chicken with jalapenos is a good choice.

Two Lengua Tacos, One Tripe Taco, and Ghost Pepper sauce on the side. That's what immediately…read morecomes to my craving mind when someone mentions B&T. Á la the Chiptoles of the world, B&T has an array of choices for how to order your Mexican food: the type of dish and the type of filling. But, there is no reason to be overwhelmed as even the casual Mexican-diner should be familiar with the dish names: Burrito, Taco, Quesadillas and other crowd-pleasers. The Frito (fried) Burrito adds a little crispiness (and grease) to the classic Mexican-flavor vehicle. When it comes to filling, this is where B&T lets you have some fun with options that aren't on every Manila Mexican menu. I've already recommended my favorites: Lengua and Tripe. The reason I order tacos is because I can never decide between one or the other. For options a little more familiar with an authentic twist, get the chicken mole or Al Pastor (pork marinated with Pineapple). I tend to be left a bit wanting on the service end for B&T McKinley's - only because the service at the Greenhills branch is so superb. For some added value to the heat-seeking burrito fan, ask the cashier if they have any Ghost Pepper available. They provide it for free when available, but test a drop before dousing your taco with the smoky-hot condiment.

I only came here to try their choco yema cupcakes and wow -- this much goodness shouldn't be…read moreallowed!! It is chocolate cake topped with yema icing. The cake itself was so moist! I could eat that by itself. But then comes the yema. Yema (caramelized milk candy) is a Filipino delicacy, made with condensed milk, eggs yolks and sugar. The yema paired with chocolate cake in every bite was sinfully delicious! It was a little sweet, but I expected that. The yema icing was starting to become a little dense towards the end, but that didn't stop me from finishing it! One cupcake is definitely enough to satisfy that craving. I definitely can't wait to have some more!

If you're like me, and you don't like things too sweet... go for their red velvet. They also have a lot of other interesting dessert flavors which are always worth trying. Once, for halloween, they had a cupcake with gummy worms. Very creative! Today, I tried their hot Pinoy Chocnut. Coffee, chocolate, and peanut butter in one cup. A pretty good recipe too since you can taste all 3 ingredients. I forgot to keep mixing it... so it got sweeter as I reached the bottom of the cup. I've tried their food before... but I really really like Slice for their desserts.

This is the best of Mexican restaurants in the Scout area.Grande nachos can be shared by two to three people and the tortilla chips are not the typical ones that can be bought in your palengke or supermarket. Tacos here are big, so be prepared to open wide your mouth and take a big bite.The meat is perfectly seasoned and it does not have any aftertaste of the beef. Burritos are also huge. The rice is seasoned enough but the meat needs some more. The best part of this Mexican restaurant is...the Churros!!! Great churros. Its not greasy like any other churros. You know the oil is new (it never failed the pito-prito test, if you know what I mean) by simply smelling the churros and tasting it. The bland churros dipped in their own chocolate sauce is a perfect pair. The chocolate dip has some bitterness on it, but eventually, it will go and be replaced by the sweet part of the chocolate flavour.

Tacos Chingones is located beside Som's and only has a few tables. So, when I go here, I either go alone or just bring 1 or 2 friends with me. They only have a few choices on their menu but they are all done with much love and...grease. Seriously, you will see the ladies cooking a mountain of onions on their griddle and, when they get an order, they cook all the meat with the onions. All their tacos are made to order and so fresh! These tacos are great for a lunch stop or a quick dinner. My favorites are the Chicharones, Al Pastor, and Chorizo. But, my non-negotiable and I-will-order-3-pieces-for-myself order is the Lengua! I know many don't like to eat tongue but, the ladies here cook it right. It's just melts in your mouth. Can't fully explain it. Just order it, ok? The perfect beverage to go with your tacos? An ice cold Coke, oh yes! So, stop whatever you're doing. Head to this taco cart. Order ALL the tacos! Wolf down the tacos. Order again. You're welcome! ;)

I used to not think too highly of tacos. Having grown up on canteen tacos, made with crunchy…read moreshells, spaghetti sauce and Quickmelt, I never felt that there was any reason for me to pick tacos over anything else, except for like...rice and salt or something. However, when I had my first soft steak taco, I saw the light. Gone were the palate-piercing shards of fried tortillas. The mush and gristle of "taco meat" was replaced by the . Most importantly what seemed like disparate parts merged into a whole. And yet even that would not please the palate of a Mexican visitor to the Philippines. The tortilla would be the wrong kind, the taco itself too big. Unless he found itself at Tacos Chingones. This unassuming little truck (seriously my friend ate at Som's 2 days before we had Tacos here and he didn't notice) serves the most authentic tacos in Manila. Gone are the large flour tortillas, replaced with a pair of small corn tortillas. 2 are required to contain the juice of the meat. Speaking of the meat, you won't find spaghetti sauce anywhere here.Instead, all meat is freshly cooked on the griddle. The Choices include: Chicharones (Chicharon), Pastor (Pulled Pork), Barbacoa (Chopped Beef), Chorizo, Pollo de Chipotle(Chicken in Spicy Sauce), Carne Molida con Papas (ground beef and potatoes) and TNT (Tongue and Tripe). Of these, the standout is the TNT, which explains why it's priced slightly higher than other toppings. The melting tenderness of the lengua is set against the slight chew of the tripe. If you're a bit squeamish at the thought of eating offal tacos, the Chcharones and Barbacoa would be my choice. These toppings give small morsels of flavor that go better with the small tortillas than the other choices in my opinion. Also, the crunch of the chicharon and the meatiness of the beef set off against the soft but crispy tortillas. The tacos go for 170 for 3, except for the TNT, which costs 80 per taco. While surprisingly filling, there shouldn't be any problem trying all the fillings for yourself. While eventually you'll find your favorite, the tacos are affordable and light enough to get a different taco fix every time you need it.

Taco Vengo's tacos are not your typical steak, pork, or chicken choices. Where else can you get a Tempura taco with a Horchata? You can get both here and they do not scrimp on the ingredients! Since I've eaten here a few times already with Carlo, my favorite tacos are the BLT, Tempura Shrimp, and Grilled Salmon. I used to like the Pork Cheek Confit but, in my last 2 visits, the taco was just filled with FAT! It was too much for me to even swallow. So, I'm not sure if I want to order that again. :( For dessert, try their Chwaffle a la Mode! It's basically what will happen if a Churro and a Waffle have a baby. Fluffy yet crunchy, very good way to end the meal. For drinks, don't forget to try the Horchata! It's a rice drink with hints of vanilla and cinnamon. Love the stuff! :D

A word of advice: wait for the food to settle in your tummy before deciding to order again because after devouring the mini tacos, your tongue will want to order on and on and on. I seriously wanted to order two more after having had two already.
