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.

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.

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.

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.

They have some vegetarian choices as well. So, anyone can eat here! I enjoy their burritos and the quesadillas. The burger isn't bad either! The best part of eating here is that every table is equipped with red and white sauce that adds just the right flavor to their food. The red sauce gives it a kick while the white sauce offers a garlicy note. The prices in this joint are reasonable because every time you walk out, you will feel full and youre going to want to come back to try their other dishes. I know that ill have to go back so i can try their pulled pork burrito! Just make sure that when you come here you dont expect Tex Mex because they are straight up mexican! I can tell because their tacos are soft as opposed to the U-shape tacos made popular by the West.

I went on a Saturday evening with my aunt and two of my brothers, but the Megamall branch wasn't even half full, but that only meant faster service and less antsy staff. I wish they at least put on some music - it's not much to fuss over, but I think it'd attract more customers at least. I availed of combo 4 - a burrito and a taco - whereas my brothers got a combo 5 (burrito and a quesadilla) and regular San Francisco Style burrito (double the meat). We all at least got to try out each other's dishes. I enjoyed my grilled chicken burrito, and my beef taco was crisp and didn't fall apart like cheaper end tacos. My brother's quesadillas weren't anything to fawn over about. The San Francisco Style ground beef burrito was definitely meatier, but I don't think it really needed to be to make you full. Mexicali has great Mexican food, but be prepared for the gas to follow your meal.

There was one time where I wanted nothing but burritos. I don't know. I get these cravings…read moresometimes. The odd thing is... I don't really like burritos. Sometimes, there's too much rice and it ends up being rice and wrap and not much else. And the rice isn't even all that good either, depending on where you go. Or it has too much tomato which doesn't really do much for my sensitive stomach. Thankfully, Mexican Express does it right. They actually have a good proportion of everything: meat, rice, cheese, lettuce and salsa. That's a rarity. A good rarity. It's cooked right in front of you so you should be ready to wait for your order. It'll be worth it though, I promise. I've gone there to order burritos for lunch and once I get home, they're still as good and as warm as if I had them right there and then. The super burrito is BIG. Big and the filling reaches from end to end. The place itself is pretty small though so I really wouldn't recommend it for a party of larger than two. If you want to scratch that mexican food itch and have a group of buddies with you, don't be afraid to get something to go and head off somewhere bigger.

We unexpectedly got some nachos at the middle of the night, like 10-ish PM. It's a long story, but…read morenow we were looking for ways to get some dips for those nachos, so we cruised along Maginhawa thinking of ideas. Good thing Mexican Express was still open, so we gave it a try. PROS: The staff were kind enough to let me purchase the add-ons only with without even purchasing an actual meal. For a couple of cheese sauces, a serving of jalapenos, and sour cream, I think I spent just a little over a hundred pesos; When we munched our nachos and dipped it in the sauces, they're actually quite good. It's authentic sour cream and jalapenos, and they all mix well. CONS: Their cheese sauce looked runny and blobby inside the fondue pot. But I should not have judged a book by its cover, or cheese sauce by its consistency. It actually tastes pretty decent - tangy and creamy. TL;DR: I look forward to actually eating Mexican Express' actual food mainly because of the good experience we had with their add-ons.

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!
