    This is my go-to place for simple but delicious chicken meals. The ambience is cool and pretty much everything on the menu is good. Aside from the chicken (fried or roasted) they also serve Mexican and Latin dishes like quesadillas, roast pork and beans. The portions are pretty average and you can get full with their chicken combos for less than P200 - a bargain! I usually order fried chicken with beans and patatas bravas and the chicken quesadillas. The quesadillas are served with a really nice, garlicky mayo and homemade salsa that really balances the dish out. Sometimes I'll order the roast chicken which comes with chimichurri sauce that's really good too. It can get busy at dinnertime especially on weekends. I advise you to go early or lunchtime (always easy to get a table at lunch for some reason). The crowd can sometimes last late into the night.

    My new favorite place for dinner and drinks in Makati is Senor Pollo! If you haven't been you're in for a cool, new experience! This super casual, laid back, Latina-vibed restaurant is the latest go-to in the Burgos Area. In what seems to be an old garage, the music and the atmosphere come to life and draw you in to check it out. With a pretty simple menu and as their name states, they're all about the chicken! The roast one is a classic, but i prefer the spicy fried chicken (warning, extra hot!!). I love a good fried chicken (this is not as simple as it sounds!!) and the guys behind Senor Pollo know their stuff cause it's pretty damn good. Oh and their bar chow is also super delicious... WAGYU BACON FRIES, don't ask, just order. They've got reasonably priced drinks, my guy friends don't mind hanging out here because the beer isn't over priced! Their cocktails are good too, yes, me and my mojitos! PS, go check out the toilets, you'll probably snap chat it. (surprise, surprise!)

    You better not leave Señor Pollo without trying of course their pollo! A Señor Pollo Roast with 2 Sides is just P209. But if you want to taste it in its full glory, you can have it for P129. I like coming here in the afternoon when there are lesser people. I think it's nicer in the day where it's really vibrant. They really tried to make it very Latin American naming the countries that comprise it and anything that symbolises them through a graffiti wall. What a nice touch! It has also become a go-to drinking spot in Williamsburgos. Drinking at Señor Pollo is cheaper. Local beers start at P45. While cocktails such as Cuba Libre start at P100. If you do come back to Señor Pollo, my guess is that you're in it for the food. Right? Riiiiight?

    We always say that Makati is expensive, but how expensive is "expensive"? And what is the cap that determines the so-called value for money? I think that, like most of you my dear readers, I would readily pay for something even if it's a bit pricey so long as the quality and the satisfaction is guaranteed. Where i'm going with this has something to do with the price points of Señor Pollo, easily my most favorite restaurant in Makati. I am down with really down-to-earth food as I am what you may consider a low-maintenance and no frills kinda guy, so Señor Pollo is just my type of food. I was talking about price points earlier, and considering that the place is smack in the middle of Makati's red light district, Señor Pollo is surprisingly inexpensive. In fact, for the price similar to what you would usually pay at more high-end fastfood or chain restaurants in the mall, you can have some seriously good chicken and fixings for a filling and hearty dinner. I'm not even supposed to be eating this stuff because I have sworn to the benefits of a vegetarian diet, but sometimes, I really can't help but treat myself to a cut of tender white meat. The chicken at Señor Pollo is great, and rightly so, because it would be a shame for a "pollo" (lit. chicken in Spanish) restaurant to suck at it. Their roast and fried chicken dishes are so tasty I don't even feel guilty "cheating" on my veg diet with them. For a little over P250 per person for a 1/4 chicken with 2 sides, this is quite a steal if you're looking for a "busog" dinner in Makati. The savory meat is best when coupled with their chimichurri, which is honestly the best thing since sliced bread. Also great when enjoyed with Brew Kettle, my new favorite beer. We have established how good the chicken is. Now let's talk about the side dishes. I just love the diversity of the Latin American-inspired sides that they offer. My favorite contenders are the patatas bravas, the Latin coleslaw, the jalapeno mac 'n' cheese and the Colombian refried beans. Mmmm my mouth is watering just thinking about it. You will find that this place is always crowded, so always come early (or later) to avoid the dinner rush. The place has a very open, un-airconditioned dining area - smoking is allowed inside. Watch your stuff, as this might be where my friend got her phone stolen the last time. The place gets super jampacked, noisy (good Latin music) and hopping you won't notice your stuff getting jacked.

    Very good and pretty authentic (flavorwise) Peruvian food in a quite stylish atmo. Place is on the…read moreoutdoor level of the upscale Shangri La Hotel where their gorgeous outdoor pool is. For the restaurant they have both indoor and outdoor dining. The outdoor patio is right by the pool with some tables even poolside. Great ambiance with nice Peruvian native artifacts as art pieces. Service pretty good but they tend to run out or not have certain items on the menu available. Aku Aku (P550/3.5) They were out of my first choice for a cocktail so went with this. Didn't love it just had a strange fermented taste that clashed with the tropical vibes. Maybe cuz it had Cachaca which is a Brazilian spirit that I'm not to familiar with. Also had spices, dragon fruit and grapefruit. It tasted better once I started eating. Ceviche de Atun al Recoto (P750/4*) Nicely uniform cubes of yellowtail tuna, finely slices of red onion and a recoto pepper leche de tigre. Marination was proper and you can tell they mix everything perfectly to order so that tuna doesn't get overly cooked by the citrus. Very light handed on the salting tho, which in my current taste I actually don't mind it as much. But a lot less salty than what I've had. Empanadas de Lomo (P600/4*) They use very puffy and buttery puff pastry dough for their empanadas. Not traditional but makes for a more dramatic plating as they are taller and more airy. The filling is diced up filet meat which is a huge upgrade from the ground beef versions I usually try. Well-seasoned beef with that cumin and pepper profile. Anticucho de Pulpo (P750/4.5*) Super tender big chunks (3 on a skewer) of tentacles rubbed with aji panca marinade which is a bomb Peruvian chile marinade bursting with red chile flavor then grilled pretty aggressively so that strong char flavor permeates without tasting burnt. Served with an herbaceous creamy sauce that went better with the plain roasted baby potatoes as the grilled octopus didn't really need anything. Causa de Congrejo (P700/5*) Love this dish and I usually try a Causa dish when trying a new Peruvian resto. To me it is uniquely and undeniably Peruvian in nature. It deals with Peruvians love for potatoes (they say this is where potatoes got their start for human consumption) and the addition of something from the sea, in this case...crab. Causa is a very smooth mashed (cold) potato salad. Except the Peruvians flavor that mashed salad with their flavors like aji amarillo in this case which produces a tangy yet slightly spicy flavor to that filling. Here they top these piped potato fillings with lump blue crab which is super tender and very 'crabby' in flavor. I loved their interpretation of this dish here. Arroz con Mariscos (P1450/4*) Basically a Peruvian paella. Rice had a perfect texture of al dente short grain rice, where it was very wet but not sticky. Big seafood flavor imbedded into that rice too but very rich as I think they use coral from the crab (crab's innards) and make a coral butter that they use to enrichen the rice grains. I loved it but honestly did not want to keep eating it as about 6-7 bites in I was totally satiated. My aunt is sensitive to dairy only had 2 bites Lol. The seafood included 2 large prawns shelled but head on. Some calamari and maybe a few small scallops. Outside of eating 1 prawn to myself, I actually found the rest of the seafood to be quite scarce like for the amount of rice there were. So maybe think of this as a rice dish first and don't put as much weight for the actual seafood. Merangado de Guanabana (P500/3.5*) Very dramatic dessert with east meets west vibes. A huge hollow sphere made of white chocolate arrives on a plate. It is filled with a Soursop cream (tropical fruit), studded with firm meringue stars, some nuts and coconut shavings for texture. Upon arrival they will pour some liquid nitrogen into that sphere so this cold 'smoke' starts to erupt. Then they'll instruct someone from the table to pick up that sphere and drop it onto that plate. The white chocolate sphere will then crack allowing all the components inside to spill out onto the plate, where everyone can now stick their spoons in for some bites. I gotta say I didn't love the taste experience as much as I loved the visuals. The tropical cream was a bit tart and clashed with the sweetness of the white chocolate and the meringue candy. The nuts were a nice textural break, but I just felt the flavors didn't meld as well as I was hoping. Still an unforgettable dinner roof top in a big city, poolside with beautiful lighting, very friendly service and surprisingly legit Peuvian flavors and techniques. A dining adventure I just can't skimp and dish less than a fiver.

Food-wise we found to stretch the wallet quite a bit, and even opting for the less extravagant fare, the lomo saltado dish was a tiny portion; 4 small and quick bites of steak considering the 1175 PHP tag. The parihuela sopa was very nice though, with excellent seafood portions, including a tasty octopus leg and large mussel, clams, and prawn. It was a tad too salty but not to a serious fault. Staff were very professional, positive, and helpful. Lovely presentation of meal. Would recommend for a date or small group looking for a quieter but trendy atmosphere compared to Forbes town noise 5 minutes walk from Shangri La's hotel entrance.

Single toilet per male and female. The place is well ventilated and lots of natural light comes through during the day time. Outside of the entrance, they have a lettering pieces, "Life is Better with Tacos." Hence, sensed they're staking their claim to be the aficionado of tacos in the area. That, and since Vengo left for the next hood over... good timing. I tried their Sisig, Salted Egg, and Beef Barbacoa tacos. I ranked them in that order. The most flavors came from the Sisig! Let that quail egg run a bit before diving in for life. The Salted Egg had a unique flavor. Had the consistency somewhat of uni. It's good. The Barbacoa was okay. I wasn't sure what kind of flavor it was going for. Again, I would've just killed 3 Sisig tacos haha For drinks, I ordered their Cucumber Elderflower, and asked if they don't put the sugary syrup (and they helped me out with that request). Tips... don't out too much citrus (lime or Calamansi) on your tacos. Don't let it drown the flavor. Same goes for the sauces that they have handy on the side... try it beforehand without it. I hope that helps your new experience of Mexicana in the Kapitolyo area. Viva!
