Yes, "Ay okay.. Wow!" was definitely our expression when we saw Silantro's food.
We were looking for a place to eat when we decided to check it out. And the first thing that caught our attention was their Nachos.
It was still their soft opening when we ate there, so they only had two main courses available. We decided to order their appetizers: Beef Nachos (180php) and Beef Quesadillas (160php), and Luchas Tacos: Medio Hard Shell Tacos (95php).
We were ready to wait for a while for our food but we were mistaken, our food was already served to us in just a couple of minutes. And we were surprised with the size of their servings. They also serve 3 types of sauces: white sauce (which we think is sour cream), Guacamole sauce (the green one), Spicy sauce ( I think it is still Guacamole, only spicier).
Beef Nachos, they are good for sharing and has an overwhelming amount of salsa and nachos. The nachos alone taste really good and you can dip them in the sauces. We really liked the white sauce; we always asked for a refill and it's good to know that there's no extra charge for it.
Beef Quesadillas, we were expecting to see the usual size of quesadillas; the small round one with fillings only at the center of the pita. But noooooo, the pita is just thin enough to hold the filling that's oozing out of the quesadilla. They also serve good fries with the quesadilla. So that's 2 medium(?)-sized quesadillas and a fair amount of fries for only 160php!
Medio Hard Shell Tacos, so you have the freedom to choose at least 2 types of meat for 2 tacos; this was beef and pork. And this is a good buy because you'll feel full for only 95php.
What I like about their food is they are very generous with the servings of meat; they are served in small chunks. I'm not sure if I have mentioned everything here because I am still happily overwhelmed with the food we ate. Thank you, Silantro!
