I was in a food trip with a friend last week and just out of nowhere I just thought I haven’t had a bowl of pares yet, as in EVERRR. I’ve been hearing a lot of good reviews of different versions of pares around the Metro, but I also am aware there is this one place where you can actually find the best pares in town.
Buti nalang talaga before magkaroon ng quarantine na try ko to 😭 It was my first time trying pares with my boyfriend and it was sooo worth it na ma stuck sa traffic ng ilang oras just to try this. It's such a pity nga lang kase this year ko lang siya na discover and I want to try it again kaso nga lang may quarantine

AMBIENCE
Open 24 hours. It was crowded as expected and people were lining up behind different customers that were already settled on stools eating their beef pares. Place is hard to miss especially at night. In fact, their establishment brings the area to life! Parking seemed to be along the street or in front of the establishment along Retiro. For takeaway, you get a number and pay as you order. Floor near the stools were full of litter and I wish customers would make the effort to place it where they are supposed to be; it's supposed to be easy.
FOOD
For obvious reasons, it was a MUST to try their Beef Pares P115, which came with soup, garlic rice and a cold pitcher of water. Meat was sweet and tender. Because I enjoyed the sauce and ate some with every bite, my dishes were wiped out clean! Rice was slightly dry but the sauce and soup made it no biggie.
SERVICE
Server was quick to serve my food, bill and change. It just took a short while to get their attention upon my arrival because they were busy with the other customers (full house).

A friend introduced this place to me a few years back and I really enjoyed eating here. This no frills pares house is always jampacked with diners whatever time of the day I passed by. For this particular visit, I decided to take it out and enjoy my meal at home. By default, I had their beef pares P115/order, stuffed shrimp P70/order and buttered chicken P180/order. Everything was delish! I'll surely be back. Writing this review now is making me want to come back again and have this hearty meal.
Ignore the caption on the second picture. It was just for gags.
Tbh, the food isn't dirty, it's delish! It's your very pinoy comfort food and I'm craving it once in a while.
Will definitely come for more!

Whats make eating here exciting is the nostalgic feels of an old pares mami house. And the line gets really long but the service is fast so the queuing time is fast as well. Love the pares (of course) plus the maki and the fried chicken. I just hope they have coke zero for diet pretenders like me (hehehe)
Best pares for me. Crew were attentive but looked tired, I hope they are not overworked. Always dined around 2-5am, place was always packed. Soup is tasty as well.
This restaurant is 40 minutes away from home (1 hour if traffic, of course) but my friends and I would really go the distance just so we can have our pares fix.
A friend of mine introduced this resto to me 2-3 years ago and I’ve never eaten pares anywhere else since. It’s a testament of how good their pares is, and cheap as well! Their meat is so tender and the broth is flavorful, a lot of people like to add in soy sauce with calamansi and chili but I personally think it overpowers the already great quality broth and so I just put in chili for a little kick. For PHP 110, you get a generous amount of beef pares, soup, and chorizo & garlic rice. Very worth the price.
I 10/10 recommend.
(Note: a lot of people visit this restaurant so expect a waiting time.)
My go-to pares place! This place is always full, so patience is a must. Whenever we go here we always had to wait for almost an hour to get a seat so wag pupunta kung gutom na gutom kana. Haha!
The food is great. Very affordable and sulit!
