tittos latin bbq & brew

must try dishes:
salted egg street tacos
paellas
ensaladas

(+) ambiance, have nothing but good things to say whether it be the resto part or their bar
(+) crowd -- sometimes it really is a deciding factor
(+) variety of drinks and chows -- they know their niche and it shows in the quality of their food and drinks
(+) great tasting and well done cocktails

(-) limited parking
(-) expensive drinks!!! their mark-up is almost offending
(-) tried their chicken twice and both prove to be overcooked and dry paired with tad bit too small a serving of side dishes
(-) slow service

kapitolyo is a great place if you want to go on a food trip because it's considered as the foodie haven of pasig. . one of the frequent haven of foodies here is tittos latin bbq & brew. tittos serves contemporary latin american comfort food that is tweaked to cater to the pinoy palate.

new menu alert and it’s oh so goood!

let’s hype the titos this time - because the titas are overrated na, haha!

tittos latin bbq and brew will take you on a gastronomic adventure w/ their new offerings and they will not disappoint your palate and your tummy. each viand boasts of flavors, texture and pleasing visual art combo’d w/ their artsy, semi industrial and muraled chill decor where your clique can chill and lose track of time.

the bomb were: la lucha salad (the fried mushroom took my breath away), el puerco ala brasa (the guac paste, chili and the pork was amazing) and el caesar burrito (salad in a burrito but w/ a latin american flair?! boy it’s a beautiful mess when eaten).

needs improvement: the pizzas were a bit bland and the steak was a bit tough even if it was cooked medium. nevertheless, it was an awesome food-venture as if it took me directly to latin america, haha.

tip: bring your wolf crew because the portions are good to share.

one of the best tacos i've tasted. i also like their version of steak. servers are also very quick and respectful. i'll definitely come back

i’ve been hearing a lot of great reviews about this south american joint in kapitolyo. i got so curious that i always drag people and convince them to try it out with me. but my first two attempts were not successful. the first one was because of parking and the second one was because we were too full from our first stop. but third time’s the charm.

i really enjoyed dining at tittos. we ordered the baha tuna, beef barbacoa, and nachos. it looks fairly simple, but the flavors worked perfectly. i also the vibe of the restaurant — it’s very bright and upbeat. good place to dine with friends.

tittos has recently celebrated their second anniversary and along with it are new dishes on the menu. . my friend jen  sand under my feet  was invited for the anniversary celebration and i was just lucky to get tagged along. i have dined at tittos a couple of times before, as well as in their speakeasy bar, rm-16, because it's just a few blocks away at my office. i would say that their dishes do taste good, as well as their cocktails in rm-16. no wonder why they are now celebrating their second year.

came here for a quick bite. food was excellent, service time was reasonable, staff were very attentive and quick to address our needs. ambiance was also really good. will come back to try the other items on the menu.

updating my rating from a 4 to 5! came back here recently and food was great and service was superb. was also able to try different drinks (thanks to zomato gold!). everything was so good. would highly recommend!

we had a feast! let me tell you what we enjoyed the most first:

- horchata : i have no idea what real authentic horchata tastes like but this one was creamy and sweet.

- elote : we thought that the mix of flavors on the corn were bursting with flavor, and exactly the kind of food we wanted that night. certainly a good first impression.

- salpicao : as someone who is now open to non too garlicky salpicao, this dish made me happy. however, they didn’t use a steak part so i somehow felt it was more adobo than salpicao. it was good nevertheless. oh and the onion crisps could have been crispier. it felt like they were left overs from an earlier meal. hard to chew.

- the two soft tacos : sisig and beef. my son, who had both said it was super flavorful. i had a little taste of both (tried what was inside the taco) and i had to agree. these were runaway winners!

- sopa de ajo : i loved that it came out very hot. i was expecting it to be garlicky but it tasted more like mushroom soup that we’ve tasted elsewhere. i liked it though as i like soup like that. there was a bit of disconnect lang with the name and what i expected to taste.

- chori burgers - i will not order this dish again. it was super cute but the buns were tough and dry. the burger was well, so-so. i was expecting a stronger chori taste. and there was some crunchy (but not really) thing as part of the burger that was weird to me. i eventually took it out as it was hard to chew.

- paella : the toppings were good and flavorful!! it would have been better if they had more. the paella alone is unimpressive. should be eaten with the meat.

- duo panna cotta and key lime pie : this started off as strange tasting (had panna cotta first) and then it grows on you! the subtle flavor of baileys is tasted in the panna cotta! they could add more key lime though to the pie. don’t get me wrong. we loved the pie. but it needs a bit more tartness in my opinion.

great place to chill. good food. cozy ambiance. attentive and friendly servers.

must try - cocktails! amaretto sour and customized cocktails depending on your mood.

people say that millennials like me are ruining friendships and that we are going through a friendship crisis as a generation because we only connect through social media. millennials have been known to favor favoring convenience over authenticity. but as a millennial who witnessed both the good and the bad of simple old times and the advent of technology, i can say, at least for myself, that that belief is a generalization. growing apart with your friends is inevitable and also a personal choice.

the best burrito, quesadilla, and soft taco ever! so much flavor and color in the food. we will be back for sure. kudos to the staff that serve us!

this is the second time i visited this place and it’s still great! tried their beef barbacoa and pork chuleta which were really tender and flavorful. their pollo asado was good too but the quarter serving is quite small. and their horchata, ftw! as for their dessert, try their frozen brazo de mercedes and ube churros!

the place is quite spacious and the staff were attentive and nice too. you may want to visit during off peak days (sun-thurs) as it gets a little crowded during fridays and saturdays.

we had our anniversary dinner here. the food i can say has big servings and flavorful. the ambiance was like a latin american, mexican vibe. there were guests upstairs who we thought had a party. they were a bit noisy which is ok because it is a party however i will suggest that the restaurant would have a separate function room to cater big group guests;)

we tried their elote, beef barbacoa, 18hr gaucho steak, pollo asado and pork chuleta. the elote was sprinkled with seasoning that i cant really explain but it was a yunmy dish. beef tacos was superb, overall blend with the beef veggies and sauce was awesome. the chicken was another good dish, very juicy and flavorful and goes perfectly well with the mango salsa and herb seasoning. gaucho steak was also good very tender. the only disappointment for me was the pork chuleta, it tasted like pork liempo :( nonetheless it was a good experience, the pollo asado and beef barbacao were superb! i almost forgot all of the side dishes we tried were also very vey yunmy!! like the coleslaw, mash potato and mac cheese! 👍🏻 definitely going back to try their other dishes!
