tittos latin bbq & brew

if it wasn't for zomato, i wouldn't have found tittos latin bbq & brew. i was planning on eating around the kapitolyo area, and saw it listed in the 'best of manila' list. and as the saying goes, 'the rest is history.'

upon entering the place, loud latin music and colors greet you. the place was pretty full, but i managed to maze my way to the single corner table that the waitress led me too. in some cases, i would mind the mazing. this time however, i didn't. i was very excited to try thefoodout, and i was able to eye some dishes of other customers as i passed by their tables. seeing thefoodmade me start to drool. lol! 😜

i was pretty torn as to what to order. but with the chef recommendations marks on the menu, along with the waiter's recommendation, it didn't take long for me to decide what to order.

soup:
sopa de ajo - i love mushroom soup. i love truffle oil. this had them, and i didn't even have to think twice to order it. umami on umami flavors. it was the perfect way to start my meal. admittedly, it was also fave dish of the night.

platittos:
elote - corn with a whole lot of goodness on top. more than the standard butter. it's got all flavor components from sweet, salty, sour and spicy. a must try!

street tacos:
beef barbacoa w/ black tortilla - their bestseller taco! beef was nice and chewy soft, not a melt in your mouth soft. loads of beefiness in such a small serving. the black tortilla was a tad bit different. a little tougher than the standard white, no floury taste. the toughness isn't bad. even with a double tortilla, you will need something strong and stable than the standard tortilla to be able to hold its heftiness

salted egg shrimp w/ white tortilla - the salted egg hype has hit the taco-scene too. not as salty as i expected like other dishes at other places, but that's a good thing. cannot overpower the delicate taste of shrimp.

postres:
dulce de leche cheesecake - dulce de leche, ultimate latin dessert, fused with a cheesecake? yes please! it may have seemed rich and too sweet on the menu, but not as much as i thought. it wasn't 'nakakaumay' which is good. i honestly hate things disgustingly sweet. sweetness level here was just right. the strawberry puree was obviously made from a syrup or jam of sorts. i would have preferred fresh ones, but then again, strawberries are seasonal.

food: 5.0 - best latin cuisine that i have had. enough said!

price: 5.0 - things may seem pricey. but the quality and serving sizes are really good.

service: 5.0 - quick service. attentive and friendly staff.foodwas served pretty fast even with the dinner rush.

ambience: 4.5 - i love the loud colors and music. place is very bright, atmosphere feels lively. downside, the place is cramped with chairs and tables. i think they tried to fit in as much as possible. still, there's just enough space to walk in between tables, just dont spread your arms.

surely without a doubt, i will be coming back. still plenty offoodthat i want to try. highly recommended. no doubt, tittos is one of the top places to eat at in town. 👍

been in the mood for mexicanfoodfor quite sometime and i decided to try tittos latin bbq and brew in kapitolyo.

i was lucky i was there quite early and was able to park.

that menu is quite extensive so i decided to get the following:

4 cheese quesadilla - was quite good. i especially like the onion jam. the touch of sweetness was a pleasant surprise

roast chicken with mexican rice - the chicken was flavorful and moist but a little greasy for my taste.

dulce de leche cheesecake - now this is a winner! the caramelized cornflakes with the dulce de leche sauce was great with the tangy cheesecake

thefoodis great! the ambience also gives a mexican vibe. we tried nachos, baby back ribs and chicken wings and they are must try!!! we'll definetely come back :)

enjoyed my first dining experience at titto's with my family. one dish turned out enough for two pax because the servings were big. my sister and i shared chiquittos (must try for everyone who goes here), gambas pasta (good as well), and medios nachos (actually good for 3 people). we also tasted their horchata, a rice milk drink topped with shredded chocolate - another must try! everything we had was under 1500, pretty affordable for deliciousfoodand good service. one thing titto's could improve though, is soundproofing their walls. the resto could get so noisy when it's packed. the collected chatter from the first floor reverberates til the second floor. but yun lang naman. haha. overall, i loved dining here. i'd would definitely eat here again, bring more friends, and order other items on their menu. i feel like every dish has titto's own twist to it which truly makes the dining experience exciting and memorable - something that you can't find anywhere else. thanks, titto's! see you again soon!

it was my first time last night and i've had great time. thefoodis delicious w/ the right price. we ordered pollo asado and i was surprised w/ the large serving. staffs are friendly and attentive. but what i loved the most is the ambiance. the interior design is superb, that i felt like i'm in a south american country/city. 

good thing is discovered this place.

good day for my fellowfoodlovers, i can say that this is one of the unique restaurants that you don't want to miss, you can definitely have the experience that you want if you are looking for a mexicanfoodhere in the philippines.

there is no question for thefoodquality that this restaurant serves, the taste of thefood and the ambiance of this place will surely take you to a different world for the moment that you spend this great time together with your friends and love ones.

the crew is very accommodating  and i love that about us filipinos that will never change and is a mark of our culture. i give this review a 3.0 though since there is one thing that i really did not see fit for this restaurant, and that is how this manager treats her subordinates. she shouts at them in front of the customers like she is embarrassing them on purpose, which really gave out a bad vibe during our stay, but all in all this is a good restaurant that i will surely visit again. ( hopefully the manager is already replaced when that time comes... lol, kidding.)

goodfoodand live music. it is fun to just chill here and hangout with friends while enjoying the food. their nachos and quesadilla is a must try.

it’s my second time to eat here and in a large group (more than 20 people). goodfoodas always! love the salmon and the nachos.

shout out to the team (esp nico) for being able to accommodate and serve us despite the busyness and chaos of it all.

i love the food. it all tastes good and the presentation is nice. the latin taste is legit. service is good too. the only thing that disappointed me was that when we weren't able to finish our food, we had the waiter pack thefoodso we can take it home. when we got home, i was actually pissed off when i unpacked thefoodand found out that they did not pack the leftover sauce that actually came with the wings that we ordered. the sauce wasn't even half finished.

hands down! this is one of the best places to be when you’re in the mood for mex food. their servings are big and good for groups. nachos and burrito are so filling. the cucumber drink is refreshing and delicious. do not ever leave the place without ordering their elote. definitely a must-try! i enjoyed thefooda lot and hope to be back soon!

the staff are nice and very attentive to our needs. i dropped the lime of our paella on the table and a waiter offered to bring us a new one. i didn't even know he saw what happened.

ambiance is nice - perfect for a relaxing evening.

thefoodtastes really good too. 💯

this is my favourite latin-american restau ❤️ i love thefoodso much, must try their tittos iced tea 🥰🥰

you can never go wrong with mexican food! mexicanfoodwill always be great! so i give them 5 stars for the quality of their food.

but! restaurants should always be about the complete experience. the biggest down side of this place is their parking space. the restaurant should invest on their parking space to accommodate all their customers! they shouldn't leave their customers out in the open when their limited parking space is already full. we had this experience tonight that we had to leave early because the owner of the parking space asked us to leave and so we had to force ourselves to leave early though we are still celebrating a birthday of a friend. nope! we can't let that pass

loved their tapas de chipa and their chiquittos. the tapas de chipa's smoked salmon was the star, complemented by the soft cheese. a few drops of lime elevated both the chipa and chiquittos. the spicy sauce of the chiquittos added just the right amount of heat that totally makes the fried taco even better.

great service albeit the serving time did take a while as the kitchen got overwhelmed with the orders. despite that, the staff made sure that thefoodwill be served the moment the dishes were ready. nevertheless, their rating for me is perfect.

its our second time coming here, and its definitely a step up when it came to the experience. the ambience was very nice. thefoodcame at a reasonable pace. the servers are all friendly. overall, its a good "bang for your buck" kinda place, if youre looking for an authentic tasting latin cuisine experience. carne asada fries stole the show, and the cocktails we got from the 2+2 certainly delivers. never be afraid to ask for the bar menu as the servers will be more than happy to hand it over to you, as they dont really give it out right away.
