Mexican Meals in Manila

Comment from a reader on Zapata's in Angeles: Bland but Good  
Zapata's is Tex-Mex, not bad but not really Mexican food. The best Mexican food in the areas served by this fine blog is Orale in Fort Strip in Fort Bonifacio, Metro Manila. Great carnitas and barbacoa, very good chicken and fish, and decent carne asada. They make their own tortillas and have a growing selection of Mexican beers. But best of all, the place is relaxed -- not too fancy or too pricey, with a nice selection of salsas. Good burritos, real tacos (soft on a fresh tortilla like they are in Mexico, not crispy on a deep-fried shell like in Texas or Taco Bell) and good beans (refried pintos or black). They don't do too many things -- burritos, tacos, quesadillas, meat with rice and beans etc -- but that's a good thing. Simple and pretty healthy choices. In fact, I think the only thing they deep fry are the churros. Provecho! on
