Brickfire Oven Roasted Steaks and Chops

Affordable steaks anyone?

I've been hearing of Brickfire from some of my friends and on a day where Marcos Highway was locked in traffic and Marikina was flooded -_- we decided to try it out.

Yes I'm fat. Let it go.

We arrived there a bit early around 5:30 right before dinner time so it wasn't crowded at all. When we entered though it was really smoky. The ventilation wasn't really good but it was bearable.   

For starters we orders nachos just because its a MUST! 

Cheesy Nachos and Fries php 160.00

I should have learned by now that not all restaurants have good nachos. And just because I love nachos I still get them  every time. And yet again, it wasn't so good.

Anyway..... we both ordered the Cowgirl Annie Steaks for the main course

Cheap diba? Especially for steaks. I wouldn't say it's the best steak I've tasted, no, but for the price it was good. So yes I would recommend this for a casual lunch or dinner. 3/5

Dinner Date at Dillingers 1903 Steak and Brew

May is one of my favorite months of the year, mostly because its days and weeks of birthday celebrations for me! Yehey and also lots of eating involved.

My best friend since high school lives in New Zealand but never forgets me and sent me the sweetest gift. A fully paid date night at Dillingers 1903 Steak and Brew.

I remember visiting this place sometime before with my former boss but never really got to taste the food as it was just alcohol then.

It's located at the end of greenbelt three so you can't really see it unless you actually look for it. Makati is kinda out of our comfort zone since we live in Antipolo so these kinds of trips are always planned. The place is really cozy and the good part is there's a separate room for drinkers/ smoker and for those who just want to dine.

We went at like 5pm though after church so there were barely any people. I love trying new restaurants especially with Andio. Eating is like one of our main bonding activities.


And the orders begin...

It was just the two of us and we seriously couldn't even finished what we ordered. There servings are really big and we weren't disappointed.

Nacho Grande

More like humongous nachos. This dish we be good for like 5 people.

The Ultimate Dillinger's Burger

7 Oz of pure beef topped with mozzarella bacon mushrooms and more served with a bunch of fries on the side. 

 Veal Roulade

We had to take the rest for take out and had no space in our tummies for dessert. 

Overall the food was great. Their prices aren't so bad for their big servings. They have a long list of alcoholic beverages too.

For two people php 800-1000

Taco Vengo!

HAPPY CINCO DE MAYO!!!

I love Mexican food and whenever I discover a new place, we just have to try it!

Taco Vengo has three branches; Makati, Kapitolyo and soon to open at MegaMall.

                                                  16 United St., Kapitolyo, Pasig

It's a small joint but I can't underestimate it for their food. So far, I would rate this my second favorite place for burritos in Manila.

Their menu is a bit pricier than some Mexican restaurants but still affordable and it is about the quality right?

We got there at lunch time so the place was still packed. I didn't even realize it was cinco de mayo at the time but eh Filipinos don't celebrate it anyway. 

6 layer dip nachos  Php160

Pork Cheek Confit Burrito Php 260

 

 The burritos are big enough to share and well we always share burritos

Nomnomnom

Cheers!

 Full house

Overall, I give Taco Vengo 4 stars. We'll definitely be back for more.

Hasta Luego!
