I must admit, the name is really catchy that I was immediately drawn to it and try whatever they…read morehad to offer. I'm not really familiar with Mexican food but for some reason, by the looks of it, I had a feeling that I might enjoy this one. The Chalupa, their main product, looked a lot like a taco but bold prints on one of their signage clearly emphasized that it's not. I ordered their Beef Chalupa which contained beef (duh), veggies, cheese and other good stuff. You can even choose to put their special homemade hot sauce especially formulated to competent the soft pita-like chalupa. So if you're a fan of tacos and nachos with all the meat and special, you should definitely give this one a shot. You won't regret it. I didn't. Note: Say Chipotle (chi-pot-lei)

What I love about Papa Chalupa? Everything! From the concept, to the name and.. wow, their food…read moretastes awesome as well! I first saw a stall of theirs at SM Hypermart (but I think that closed down), we wanted something different from our usual merienda (fresh lumpia, potato corner, pizza ollo, etc) beside the nearby stalls. I was so happy to have found it at the megamall food court, they also carry the iced tea brand All My Tea and it goes so well with their cheesy beef chipotle, for chicken lovers, you can opt to have chicken chipotle instead, both taste super good anyway). What amazes me too is that the customers get to see how they prepare the dough, sprinkling flour over it and then dipping it into the fryer. Such an interesting process and it's always nice to know how my food is being (safely) cooked.

The wait staff are friendly and efficient, the ambiance could use a lot of work hence only four stars despite the food and service being spectacular. The tables are very rickety and need replacing. I look forward to the day this place gets a full renovation & I can give it 5 stars. However, for now it's definitely our to-go Mexican resto, and we'll be coming back in the future for more.

Was craving for some Mexican food and happen to pass by Citywalk and found this place. I was so…read moreexcited to try because there is actually a taco place besides Army Navy that is near my workplace. At first glance, the menu was a bit pricey, but the pictures looked so good so I thought it would be worth it. I was wrong. My colleagues and I ordered beef crispy tacos, nachos with cheese, chilli cup, and beef enchilada. Unfortunately, everything, except for the chilli, was bad. The chilli was placed on a bowl that is half-full. The texture and flavor was there, and it was really spicy. The nachos were not crispy, as if chewing on rocks, and the cheese sauce and cheese were salty, and only enough to cover the top part of the nachos. The enchilada was forgettable. As of this writing, I don't remember the taste of it already. I just know that after having lunch here, I decided to have a second lunch.

This is probably the only authentic Mexican joint in the city…read more Lo de Alberto is open late most nights and has a very chill vibe to hang out and enjoy good food with good company. I love tres amigos which is a platter of 3 tacos: chicken, pork, and beef. They also make a mean fish taco, which is not to be missed! The meats, whichever you choose, are all well cooked and well seasoned. Of course, with all authentic Mexican experiences, the most important thing is the sauces. The green sauce (spicy) should be added to everything, in my opinion. When with a big group, order a plate of the nachos, you won't regret it.

I liked everything on this platter save for the nachos and salsa; the nachos were okay tasting (nothing to rave about), while the salsa tasted as if it's about to expire. However, everything else was great, so it's forgivable. :) I think my favorite would be the rice - aahhhhh solid ang sarap! The ribs also had a good balance of sweetness, savory flavor, and spiciness, perfect with the rice! The quesadilla was simple BUT big in cheesiness and had really good onion slices! The sausage had a cheesy-BBQ sauce, and it's great even without rice. ¡Muy deliciosa! We paired our food with non-alcoholic mojito! It was refreshing and minty, but can have an umay factor after a few sips. Still good, though! It's meant for 3-4 people. For me, Casamigos is the best Mexican restaurant in Marikina! It's great for groups, as long as you don't mind al fresco dining. I got my eyes on their burrito next!!! p.s. I love the swing chairs by the bar!

I've been eyeing this restaurant for a while now since the closure of our favorite authentic…read moreMexican restaurant in Marikina. I was not disappointed! I can finally say I found my new favorite Mexican restaurant. I would like to commend them in the following aspects: 1. There's no better alternative to dining in the restaurant itself. COVID-19 changed the way we approach the experience of dining-in. The restaurant strictly and effectively implemented the health protocols to ensure that both its staff and customers will be safe. They did this by opting to have an alfresco setup instead of the closed air-conditioned one; the staff arranged a table of six for us (even though there were only 4 of us) to ensure that social distancing is implemented; the waitress changed my straw when she accidentally touched it when my drink was being refilled (I didn't even notice it and yet she did it, kudos to you ate!); and paper napkins were neatly wrapped on each utensil sets to ensure that its sterilized state is maintained. 2. unfortunately, I was not able to ask the name of the waitress who served us tonight because she was not just very good with her job but she was also a good hostess who did well beyond what is required from her. The moment we entered the restaurant, she already greeted us with a smile and led us to our seats. She rearranged the table for us and even said to us that she wanted to take a family picture of us outside the restaurant before we entered it (because my dad is taking a picture of my sister, Mom, and me without him in it). She enthusiastically discussed to us their menu and helped us decide (her suggestions were great though!) and she comes to our table to give us what we need even before we asked her. Her good service to us made us say a sincere "thank you" to her every time she approached us tonight. 3. Of course, the food is great! I'm a big fan of Mexican food and since the closure of my favorite Mexican resto here in Marikina, I've been in a search of a replacement for it (hahaha). Our perception of the taste of the food we eat is subjective but from what I've tasted tonight, the price of their food is worth it because they were able to capture the taste and flavor of what I've been looking for in a Mexican dish. The proportion is also enough to make you full because every space in that burrito I ordered was filled. To close, I'll recommend this place to everyone because you can dine here either if you are alone or with your friends and family. The ambiance and feel of the place make you think that you are in Mexico and there's this homy vibe to it when you just want to chill and have a drink and snack while you work on your project. I'll be going back here and I've yet to try the other dishes on their menu, so please support them and give it a try!

I've been looking for some good Mexican food and drinks in the manila area like how i'm used to in…read moreCalifornia and now I found the place. All the places I've tried around manila looks like Mexican food, but it doesn't taste anything like how Mexican food is supposed to. Finally found a place that is the best I've tried in the Philippines so far. I normally drink vodka but i tried the frozen margaritas since i was at a mexican place, i wanted to try a mexican drink haha plus have an unlimited margarita special for P295 for the rocks margaritas & P395 for the unlimited frozen ones. I had both the lime and strawberry frozen margaritas and they were both good. I liked the lime one better, my date liked the strawberry one better. I changed up the flavors every other drink since it was unlimited anyway. I like how they make the frozen margaritas overflowing almost like a volcano. We shared the mozzarella sticks and buffalo chicken bites for appetizers. the Mozzarella sticks were actually crispy mozzarella sticks not like other restaurants i tried that use a lumpia wrapper and put cheese in it and call it mozzarella sticks haha. Buffalo bites were were sweet with a little bit of kick. They were small bite sized pieces of chicken breast with their Buffalo sauce glazed on it. Not really Mexican food but the girl i was with wanted those for appetizers so we got them. We also shared the carne Asada steak super nachos/super fries. I asked them make the super nachos with half super fries so we got to eat both. So damn good I am always going to get that every time i come here. I have not found any decent nachos in manila area or even super fries. The other places ive tried uses ground beef and that liquid cheese. That ish ain't nachos. I can't stand that haha. This place uses real slices of steak and grated cheese. There's also a special sauce they put on top that I can't really describe but it tastes pretty good. Me and my friend ate every last piece of it. There was nothing left on the plate haha In california me and my friends always get the super nachos and super fries after a night of going out drinking so I've really been missing it and searching for a place to satisfy that craving here. We tried their turon dessert here with ice cream on top. I've never had turon with ice cream. It was a good twist and went well together. The only problem is the ice cream melts so fast so you gotta eat it quickly. Overall was a nice place to chill and have drinks while eating. We sat in the front bar area. We really felt like we were hanging out at the beach. Would recommend to anyone looking for something different to try with a cool atmosphere. Great place to take a date. We even took pics together wearing their Mexican sombreros. The pics came out really cute. A great memory for us to keep and remember our date. They also have a big room in the back where there was a group celebrating a bday while we were there. They sounded like they were having a blast from all the nonstop laughing we heard.

The place always has a long line every time we pass by. Imagine our surprise when, even on a Monday, the place was packed! We ordered Silantro's Calliente Wings (Php170, 3.7USD) for our starter. Their Lucha Tacos is one of their best-sellers. We had the Medio which offers double choice of meat in 2 taco shells (option for soft or hard shell, we went for the the soft shell) for only Php95 (2USD)! We ordered the lengua and lamb. For the adventurous, there is ox stripe. But, they also have chicken and beef for those who want to play it safe. Go for the lengua, really good! I also had a Mojito (Php90, 1.9USD), one glass was definitely not enough. The only thing we didn't like about Silantro was their service. It took them quite a long time to serve our food. But, even with the waiting time, the food is worth it. I'm going back to this place with my friends. Next time, I'll be ordering their Unli Mojito! :)
