silantro fil-mex

i've been here 3 times and it's still one of the best go-to places for a fil-mex fix. everything's super savory and their nachos and paella will leave you wanting for more. if only my stomach is a bottomless pit, i'd order 3 of each. hay, sarap! 😋

by the way, line is prettylongall the time but it's totally worth it.

one of the best restaurants that i have ever tried!!! promise! the line for waiting in order to be accommodated inside was quitelongbut, it’s worth the wait! take note, i really hate cilantro in general because of the taste and smell but this restaurant was an exception! it seems like the food do not contain cilantro because you cannot really taste it. but, it really does. :p

we ordered nachos, calliente wings,burrito, and steak.

the nachos was really good!! one of my favorites along with the burrito. it seems like that the top cheese was being slight baked because it’s already dry and with netted with pattern. it’s like you’re pouring cheese or ketchup in your food in sideways or whatever pattern you want and once you baked it, the pattern stays there and the sauce is already dried up but, you can still taste it. the nachos contained tomatoes, beef and cilantro. ohh, the beef was very tender. it’s good to dip it with the cilantro sauce.

burrito- it tastes sooo good!! i love it! it contained mexican rice, beef, tomatoes, and cilantro. it’s better if you’re going to dip it with the cilantro sauce also. this is the best burrito that i have ever tasted. it’s better than chilli’s and army navy because their burrito is so “malasa.” i do not know but their burrito is not too messy to eat it.

calliente chicken wings- i do not find this food so special. it’s just a so-so and typical chicken buffalo wing. maybe one good thing about it is that the spice tolerance of their sauce is just an average so if you’re not a spicy love, you may want to try it. i didn’t like their sauce that much because it’s like a normal hot sauce and ketchup added by a cilantro.

steak. it’s quite difficult to slice it but when you taste it, it’s not so hard to chew it. yes, it’s still tender but not so much tender.

i love this place. their food is so good especially the nachos, burger, and burrito. this place is always full so the waiting line will belongbut it's totally worth it!

the food is great, and price is pocket friendly. trust me, its hard to find restaurant has full score on taste and price! try the quesadilla and buffalo wing, expect thelongqueue if you reach there over 6.30 pm on dinner

what i like with this fil-mex restaurant is their low price, great fusion of filipino and mexican food influences and generous food portions. the place is a bit small, a bit cramped at the tables and always packed to the rafters with customers. try their best  seller, the caliente wings.  their pancholon's burger is so high, you don't know how to start eating it.  i am a bit adventurous in what i eat so when i order a soft taco, i order the completo (3 types of meat) which is comprised of lamb, lengua and oxtail. another favorite is silantro's burrito which is as thick andlongas your arm and the price is so sulit.

silantro has been my family's go-to resto when we want good food at a very affordable price.


tip: this is for the kapitolyo branch:  be there before 5:30 pm to avoid thelongqueues for dinner. don't eat there for lunch during sundays because parking is hard to find.

i went here with my family last saturday. and as expected,longline awaits. but it was worth it! menu prices are wallet-friendly. we ordered a lot and spent less than what we expect. i really love their wings and nachos.

food as everyone knows it, is amazing and reasonably priced. though you have to be patient because there is usually alongwait - we were 15th in line. and receptionists won't contact you to call you when it's your turn. tip: if you want to eat here, you can't be super hungry. have yourself added on the waitlist, then run a couple of errands. just make sure to be back before they call your name.

delicious soft tacos and nachos. that's all i order.

it's no surprise that people line up to dine. prices are budget friendly also. because oflongqueues during lunch and dinner, we eat here if we're having late lunch around 2/3pm.

crowd favorite! we liked everything we ordered. nachos, burritos, lamb steak, kebabs, wings.

loved everything except for thelongline. will definitely go back.

very very verylongline (it took us 2 hours and a half just to be seated!!!) but hey they got the best nachos and condiments ever!!! also, paella is also good and price is just right. it's just the line just to be seated is verylong:"""""( (always)

will keep on coming back to this place (aslongas the prices don’t go up lol). real ogs know that silantro is one of the best restaurants in kapitolyo, if not the best restaurant in kapitolyo. service is awesome, prices are cheap and food is to die for. must try the nachos (i prefer chicken), quesadillas, caliente wings and their burrito. their sauces are all bomb (and refillable!!!). overall, everything is great here.

always our go- to place for meal. you just have to endure thelongwaiting time because this is really jampacked especially during dinner. thankfully they are open now for dine in.

my family and i were looking for a resto that we haven’t tried before and we saw the bright signage of silantro in uptc and decided to eat there.

when we got there, there’s alongqueue and the customers will need to write their names on the list and after a few minutes the receptionist will call each to get the orders.

it was worth thelongwait.

lucho tacos (complete) - soft tacos and savory meat, good for two persons
chicken burrito - loaded and flavorful, good for two persons
beef nachos - the best! the nachos used are high quality, it doesn’t taste like the normal nachos you buy in cinemas or food stalls. the cheese doesn’t taste like the normal cheese you use at your home. overloaded with tomatoes and beef.
caliente wings - not too spicy and not too sweet.
paella fajita - the rice was a bit sticky.
lamb chops - tender and savory. mashed potato was perfect.

the only con is the drinking water, i assume that it’s a tap water, this is why i’m giving them a 4. would love to give them a 4.5 pero 4 lang agad. haha.

the beef nachos were the best part of the order! lots of beef and cheese paired with their creamy garlic sauce.

the ligero (beef) taco was normal, a little pricey (p85) for such a small taco with a bit of beef. have had better ones at diff restos.

the beef skewers were really good! a little tough because it was cooked medium well. took a bitlongwith service though.

more of a 3.5 stars! service takeslongand food is good tho a little overpriced for the serving sizes. overall would come back though!

delicious nachos.longwaiting queues that we just decided to order take out instead. hope they can expand so they can accommodate more people.
