my fave is the paella en carne. the perfect dish for meat lovers. the slices of meat are big chunks, not the small pieces you see in fried rice. the serving fits for 4 people and its so filling. i love the maple ice cream, really heavenly. even my friends said they love the food they ordered. overall, the food is not just great, its splendid.

Highly recommended if you want to impress a girl on a first date. Hahaha Dagdag pogi points kumbaga. But kidding aside it's also best for the whole family coz it's like eating on a 5 star resto that is definitely within a budget, great ambience and service plus it's the best tasting food in town! What more can you ask for? Don't ever forget to order their remarkable Seafood Paella and Baby Back Ribs once you visit coz if you do, you'll miss half of your life... and did i say it's good on a first date?���
We ordered steak, baby back ribs and chicken tenders. We all love them! Mushed potatoes and fries that came with it are really good. I'm excited to try other food in the menu.
Contrary to tge previous reviewer, I had a pleasant experience. The waitstaff were attentive to our needs and they were friendly. I had burger steak with fried rice...di na ako magpapaka konyo pa, busog lusog ako kahapon. Sakto ang timpla ng patties at marami ang binigay sakin at mabilis nabigay sakin ang order ko. Sulit rin yung home brewed iced tea nila.
I've visited them more than once and they never failed serving good food and providing quality service. Kudos!
Best food in Manila and service is fantastic as well. Highly recommend.
We celebrated my husband’s birthday here and though the restaurant was packed, I like the ambiance and of course the food and the beer! Cheers!
We love how generous the serving is and in fact, one platter is already good for 3 persons. I love paella so much and honestly, their paella is something I am NOT going to order. I love their chicken wings and grilled salmon!
I would just like to say thank you for the excellent service we received in your restaurant last night. Although the place was very busy we still had a great time and really appreciated the very courteous staff. A real pleasure. What a lovely restaurant, great food and service and atmosphere, definitely hope to go back. The beef casserole, mozzarela sticks, hickory chicken BbQ, chicken salad, baked herb chicken and roast beef was yummy!❤
We were looking for another good place to dine in marikina. We originally plan to dine at balestier but there were no available seats that time and the staff we talked to isn't accommodating.
We decided to look for another place and then we found miguel and maria. The service was great and the food was exceptional. We were assisted the moment we entered the restaurant. The place was a bit jam-packed because it's Sunday and almost lunch time.
We ordered roast beef, calamari, tomato soup, baby back ribs and cheese bacon bread pull. The food was great! Roast beef was exceptional, it's a melt in your mouth goodness. It is so good that after finishing our first order, we ordered another. 😂
Definitely going back to try more from their menu.
I love my pork paella. 6 stars!
The rest was ok though. 4 stars.
Venue was nice. 4 stars.
Please hire more staff. 4 stars.
Well priced food. 5 stars.
Highly recommended and we will be back! Over all 5 stars!
We went to eat lunch at Miguel and Maria's restaurant. I liked the food there and for the price, the food and their servings are worth the price. We have tried the Miguel's platter, that consist of chicken, Hungarian sausage and the ribs. I most liked is the ribs. Because it is juicy and sweet. The sausage, for me I don't like the texture of the sausage because it's not like the texture of a tender juicy hotdog or the frank hotdog. And lastly, the chicken for me was nice. But not so delicious. It's a so so for me. But all in all, it was great for us.
Food is not consistent though, But i suggest if you go there, Just focus on the mains. Pasta and even their self-proclaim Mac and cheese is not too cheesy and nothibg special. But i can say is servings is big.
Baby back ribs is not consistent. But one of the best i tried so far.
Calamares- The dip is super nice but the squid itself? (Masarap pa ang taga kantong calamares sis!)
Buffalo wings is best one i ever tasted. But when i returned to ordered it again. I was disappointed that it's not as same as i tasted before. Still give it another try?
Double Burger- I taste a lot of burger here in town and this burger in Miguel and Maria is nothing special. Just a regular plain tasting burger.
Garlic Parmesan- SUPERB TASTE. Maybe their wings is their specialty?
STILL GIVE 4.0 for so friendly staff💪
We visited the resto last year. The ambience was nice however, we found it hard to look for a space to park. Their steaks are good! It's the first time I tasted medium cooked steak and it's juicy as compared to the well done steak. Pricey but worth every penny.
Great food for the price you’re paying and comfy ambiance.
The place could use some patching up but generally give off a homey feel.
Recommending the Toast & Dip and Steak. The steak was so tender and portion was great. Everything we ordered was worth the price 😋😊
Had our anniversary dinner here with my bf. I really liked their calamari because it was very soft and I like that the dip was pesto sauce. It wasn't the calamari that is hard to chew. The back ribs was very tender as well. Although, the steak is fine, it's still delicious for me. I would definitely come back and try their other food choices.
What we had:
Calamari Salad
Classic Baby Back Ribs
Dry-Rub Baby Back Ribs
Hickory Chicken Barbecue
Honey Garlic Salmon
Fruit shakes
What we liked:
The baby back ribs were tender and tasty, and the price is affordable. The same can be said of the chicken barbecue and the juicy salmon. This restaurant is easy to spot and has a lot of options to offer for lunch or dinner. Plus, all of these dishes are good for sharing.
Loved the food and the place. A lot of the desserts, however, were not available when we ate there. Hopefully next time we go there the desserts will be available.
A busy and jam-packed place, thus, advance reservation is a must. Staff and crew are all friendly, accommodating and moves with enthusiasm. Very proactive as well in refilling your needs on the table. Food is served fresh and hot... And definitely, food is YUM! Love the Steak and Sausage Platter and the Buffalo Wings! A bit pricey BUT definitely worth it!
Delicious is such an understatement.
Meats are done right.
The specialty gravy is compliments well with the ribs.
Mashed potato is smooth and not that grainy.
Right amount of spice in paella.
Will definitely recommend this to friends.
We enjoyed the food and the place. Very affordable price for the food you are getting. I hope you open branches in other sides of the metro.
Went here with my girlfriend last night. Nice place. Customer service peeps are very accommodating. Tried their original BBQ wings and Seafood Paella. Taste is fine for both. However we felt that the dip sauce for the wings is a little bit off. Regardless, the service level is outstanding.
What I like about Miguel and Maria is the homey feel of the place, the amount of serving per order, and the pricing. My mom enjoyed our food especially the salad 😊
Went here after a search in Zomato. I read so many good reviews and it didn’t disappoint. The space is quite intriguing. There’s like a dining table by the door, so all guests will pass through you going inside. The food, nonetheless, is one of the best in Marikina. 🤤
This is truly one of Marikina’s gems. Every meal is sulit kasi hindi ka talaga titipidin sa serving size and of course sa lasa! Super sarap and filling talaga every meal. We had the Miguel and Maria burger with fries na may 2 dips! And then medium rare steak and ribs. The steak was medyo manipis but for the price (390~), okay na! The mashed potato was really good too. The bluberry cheesecake was very thick (consistency wise and physically) din we were able to share it for 4.We really had a good experience.
I love the Beef Stroganoff and Calamares! the ambiance, the bar, flatscreen TV and the employee were really great. It's actually our first time then we suggested it to our family and friends and everyone can't wait to come back for more.
Servings are very generous. The food is good. It's real comfort food that will fill you up and leave you happy.
We had the steak, baked salmon, ribs, salisbury steak, buffalo wings, and mac & cheese. Everything was good.
Good for a hearty lunch or dinner with family and friends. It's not noisy and you can actually carry a conversation with them.
![Zomato]( "Recensione")
Had dinner here with the fam last night. The place was packed (maybe because it's a weekend? ) and there were four groups waiting to be seated by the time we got a table.
Steak- their medium rare was more on the "raw side". The meat was not pinkish but literally still too red. We asked that it be served medium well instead and they immediately obliged. Beef was tender but not juicy anymore (understandable). Doesnt go well with rice.
Baked salmon- the salmon isn't as soft as I expected it to be. Nothing special. Doesnt go well with rice also. Best if you eat it on its own.
Beef belly- superb. Tasty and tender. The right amount of beef fat and meat.
Paella- taste is mediocre. Huge serving. Definitely for sharing.
Mozarella stick- great appetizer. Good for keeping the kids busy (6 sticks only)
Mac and cheese-too cheesy. Not for adults. The "solo" meal may be shared by kids.
I rated 4 because the food here are relatively cheap but still tasty. In fact, I didnt expect a 300-peso steak to taste above mediocre. You definitely get more than your money's worth, and they arent like other places where the food (particularly meat) is over-seasoned. The service is not like some cheap restos as well. They will properly seat you and take your orders while waiting and serve it as fast as possible. The crews attend to each table even if the place is packed. Yey!

My new fave Resto in town!
To give you a background, my husband always visits Nail Central for our nail service which is located across this restaurant and we've been avoiding eating at there because of the feedbacks we were getting from our friends cos most of them say that it its pricey yet the food is not worth it and instead we tried other resto and cafes in Lilac but all of them leaves us with "ok and sakto" lang.
My husband and I were planning yesterday in having a post valentine dinner however, we don't want to get stuck in traffic since its payday friday so BGC was not really a good option for us.
I'm a fan of steak but we want somewhere near in our place and I remembered that we haven't tried Miguel and Maria and they zomato score is really good and I thought of trying their steak since I find it cheap in the menu compared to the regular prices of steak out there.
I was thinking of Fino Deli but thought it maybe booked since its also a romantic place with good food and wine so Miguel and Maria it is.
So it happened. As we entered Miguel and Maria, I'm pretty impressed on the simplicity yet the cleanliness of the place. I should say its more of simple but elegant.
The service is great and staff were all nice. We ordered nachos, chicken grilled salad, buffalo wings, steak (for me) and Salmon (for him). *sorry no photo of salmon.
We didn't wait too long for the food to be served so its a plus given that we were already hungry
Nachos #The cheese dip is so yummy! We can eat without the ground pork and even the nacho/tortilla shells are very tasty so winner!
Grilled Chicken Salad- I ordered solo but when it arrived, boom! Its good for two, super worth it and super delicious. I thought it would be oily or there are too many mayonnaise but it blend perfectly. It also has feta cheese which I didn't expect since the salad is not pricey.
Buffalo Wings- the chicken is really good even the dip. It's very tasty...cant say anything much on this because I'm still overwhelmed with the salad, nachos and the steak. This maybe really good but I something I wouldnt crave of.
Steak- so heres comes a good cut of steak with huge mashed potato and salad on the side dish. Imagine for only 390 pesos and you get this quality of steak. So its bigger than what I have expected which is really nice. The mashed potato is very tasty as well. I was thinking of giving this a 4.5 or a 5 since I ordered medium but initially I thought its well done because of the color however the steak is so tender and flavorful so maybe the color is just because of the seasoning. My husband who is not a fan of steak liked it as well so goodjaaaab.
I enjoyed the steak so much that I even ordered a glass of Barefoot Moscato to compliment the steak. I was really surprised they have moscato since most steakhouses offered red wines. I wished I asked for .full glass instead of half glass though haha.
Salmon. The salmon takes like the usual for me but my husband liked it so okey.
Overall, my verdict is a 5. It's cheaper than I thought and its really good. We will definitely comeback especially when I crave for steak.
Service/cleanliness - 5
Staff- 5
Food - 5
Food servings - 5
Price- 5.
Recommend to order: Nachos, steak and grilled chicken salad.
Affordable and delicious food! Their steak is around 350 and it’s worth it. Nachos and wings are also recommended. Baked salmon is also great!
A nice restaurant that is very near our home. It has a cozy and relaxing ambiance where you can dine with your friends. Their food was great and price is reasonable.
Recommended by a friend and everything is really good. Ordered 2 wings appetizer(chicken wings and salted egg wings) baked salmon, baby back ribs, seafood marinara, mac & cheese and seafood paella.

Finally! For my birthday celebration, I chose to eat at Miguel and Maria in Marikina but my brother said that, technically it is still part of Antipolo. Anyway, I have been wanting to eat here for ages but the timing was never right😔so I planned and insisted😀to celebrate here. I have read the reviews and I was stoked😀. First the parking, there are 4 slots in front of the resto but the crew advised the others can park on the other side. Now, on to the exciting part💕We ordered the following:
Miguel Platter with pork ribs, sausages and bbq chicken with 3 sides. - big enough for 3 to 5 pax
2 single orders of Pork Ribs - huge cuts of pork ribs with rice and slaw
2 orders of Mac and Cheese (for sharing) - ooey, gooey cheesy omgoodness!
2 orders of the Meat Paella - good for 4 or 5 pax
2 orders of Buffalo Wings - crunchy, saucy and big
1 order of Fish and Chips - my nephew ate this and refused to share so I can’t say what it tasted like but the plate was clean after he ate😀no leftover whatsoever
5 orders of Butterbeer Ice Cream - one word DECADENT
2 orders of Vanilla Ice Cream with Chocolate Sauce
5 orders of Iced Tea
Total Price was 4500 - for 9 pax
Everything tasted GREAT!
No underseasoned food here👌
My only complaint was the service😔the restaurant was jam packed and I only saw about 5 servers so we had to stand up and call them😒
#miguelandmaria #greatfood #marikina #letseatpare
This is one of my favorite places at Lilac, especially since my barkada and I often do our dinners here. The menu offerings are good and I love their steaks! The staff are also very accomodating. However, I do feel like the place needs more space; when it's peak time, I feel like the space inside the resto doesn't support the capacity of people in a sense that it feels cramped. Overall, it's a great place to get your food! 😊
Affordable American dinning. Scrumptious mouth watering meals. They were very generous with the meat portions. Compared to commercialized over priced restos at malls this tops all of those restos. Worth your money and your tummy.
it was an okay meal... hmmmm. not really extravagant but it was okay, a place where i can bring my fiance but not my family because there is nothing special about the place.. again, it was an okay restaurant..
These are their latest menu. I wasn't able to take picture of all those in the menu naexcite lang umorder!
(The pictures were deleted after few days idk why)
We ordered buffalo wings, baby back ribs and seafood paella. By the way we were only two. They have big servings, pero depende pa din kung gano kayo kalakas kumain. We ate all of that in one seating #guilty
I trust zomato when it comes to restau's ratings, kaya di ako nagsisi na dito kami nagdinner. First time namin kumain dito and will definitely come back❣
I don't know if biased ba dahil I love chicken and kahit anong luto nagugustuhan ko pero ang sarap ng buffalo wings and it's dip with blue cheese 😢
We came here hungry and left contented. Haha!
Yes, that is how I would describe my experience at this restaurant. I was so full. The beef salpicao which I ordered is by far the best beef salpicao I have ever tasted. The meat was tender and it was very flavorful. The bacon cheesy carbonara my date ordered was food for sharing but I was very contented with my order I didn’t want to share anymore with his pasta. He ended up finishing the whole thing. Haha! He said that he can taste the bacon and the pasta was not dry and that it was delicious.
The next time we pass by lilac st. we’ll drop by and try their other dishes. It’s really a must-try.
It’s my 6th time to eat here and they never disappoint. The food is always delicious and exceptional 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
I don’t always make reviews until we ate here again last week. I ordered their crispy pork (lechon kawali) with a twist. I love the sauce which is a combination of maple syrup and balsamic vinegar! If I could give it 6 stars I would! 😁
I know I will be back again this week as I couldn’t get enough of it 😁
Had my graduation dinner here with my family. Everyone was happy and full for around P300-P400 each (with drinks). The food was amazing as always. Service was excellent and serving time is really fast (even when we ordered steak) 👩🎓
Must try:
Miguel's Platter
Steak
Mozarella Sticks
Tomato Soup
Baked Salmon
Their baked salmon is different from what I used to order in Contis. This does not give the butter garlicky taste that I am used to but rather lets you have a creamy peppery and cheesy treat that I actually loved.
The calamares was crunchy and their pesto dip was to die for. It was too good that I used it in all of the dishes we ordered.
The buffalo wings had enough sweet, sour and spice in it and their mild blue cheesy tasting dip was a perfect match.
We also had their pork belly but I forgot to take a picture of it. It was crunchy, not too salty but a little too fatty.
For the service, it was great because their servers were always wearing a smile and it felt like they were happy to serve us.
The food is ok but it took so long to get our food. However the staffs are hospitable and the place looked so cozy so it's a plus point for me. It's better to go here around 6pm so you don't have trouble getting a table and parking.
I love their baby back ribs! So worth it for the price and portion size. My friend ordered their baked salmon and it tastes good as well. The bacon wrapped chicken is also tasty.
Overall, it was a good dining experience. The staff are attentive to your needs and the service is fast. Definitely going back! 😊👌🏼
Will highly recommend this to my friends 😁 Very delicious yung Seafood Marinara, hindi siya madamot sa seafood, may mga seashells pa and shrimp. I am a baby back ribs lover, and so far masarap siya ang bagay na bagay sa Seafood Marinara na order namin 😁 This is the 2nd time we have visited M&M. Very clean and good ambiance pa ang restaurant. Ang pinaka unique pa sa lahat, may pindutan sa table mismo na kapag pinindot mo yun hindi mo kailangan mag taas ng kamay to call the attention of servers. Just push the button and right away, Food servers will go to your tables. Unique diba, Ito palang yung resto na may ganito. Sana lahat ng resto may ganito, kasi yung iba parang invisible ako. Kahit nasa harap ko na hindi pa rin ako pinapansin. Kaya bibigyan ko to ng 5 stars.
I would really recommend this restaurant to my friends! With this restaurant, you will be able to eat good food at an affordable price. I love their Nachos and their Baby Back Ribs. Also, the servers are courteous and attentive, which I greatly appreciate.
We had a great experience here at this restaurant. Will definitely go back here. :)
Sobrang worth it! Although laging maraming tao especially at night, okay lang kahit waiting ka. We've been here the 2nd time and still gives us the satisfaction of going back. Yay! Sobrang pasok pa sa budget haha!
All are recommended!
⭐Calamari
⭐Baby back ribs
⭐Baked Salmon
⭐Seafood Paella
⭐Miguel's Platter
⭐Seafood Marinara
Very Rustic! the food is extremely comforting and feels homemade. Not the tastiest but you won’t get tired of the taste. Try their ribs, steak and mac and cheese.
Great food and value for money. Friendly staff and fast service. We had the calamares with the pesto dip and its reall delicious. Try also their baked mac and cheese.
Hey Wanderers! It was my Mahal's birthday and we wanted to eat somewhere na affordable and bago sa panlasa namin. So I suggested na sa Marikina kami kumain since I know na affordable talaga ang mga kainan doon. I was the one who suggested na dito na nga sa Miguel & Maria kami kumain.
Was pleasantly surprised when we had my husband's birthday dinner here. Good value for your money with the generous servings of delicious food! Had the pork belly and enjoyed how it was really crispy and tender at the same time. My kids enjoyed the grilled cheese sandwich and mac & cheese while my husband loved the honey garlic salmon. Giving a five too for convenient parking and friendly & efficient staff. We will be coming back for sure. :)
Lost for words.
Worth the travel from Qc to Marikina had the best dining experience since we went here on a weekday and with only few people dining in.
What we ordered:
-Miguel and Maria Chicken Wings
-Baby back ribs
-Mac and Cheese (the best!)
Love the mac and cheese which was oozzing with lots and lots of cheez! and not 'nakakaumay' since they serve it in a skillet, ribs and chicken wings was also okay for me. Planning to go back here again 😁
**Plus points for parking space and friendly attendant 👍
Seafood Paella, Baby back ribs with mashed potato and garlic parmesan chicken wings. T’was SUPERB! Staffs are all friendly. Really a COMFORT • FOOD • HAPPINESS experience ❤️
![Zomato]( "Recensione")
I was starving when I came in and too full when I left. Sulit talaga.
My family and I headed to this restaurant for my sister's despedida and because she recommended it. She flew to Thailand the next morning so it was an intimate dinner for us as we wish her well and congratulate her now that she's turning a new leaf on her career.
My mom ordered a lot.
I guess we had 2 orders of the baby back ribs, the rib, sausage and fries platter thingy, pork belly, buffalo wings, carbonara, sea food paella, calamares, steak...
The ribs were a tad rough tbh, I had a hard time chewing it and the taste was okay but not really what I was looking for, and I barely tasted anything from the buffalo wings despite eating almost half of it.
My family seemed to love what they ordered so all was good.
The ambience was indeed intimate and homey like what the other reviewers say.
Everything's reasonably priced and the portions were generous. They don't have service charge but we tipped them well that night cause they deserve it.
The servers were polite and attentive but they tend to get distracted, but maybe that's because the restaurant was packin' that night.
Overall, it was a good experience.
First time here .. love the place and ample space for parking .. very efficient and fast crew .. arrive on the place a minute early bfore the waiting game starts .. accommodated quickly .. food is on the bigger portion .. like the baby back ribs .. coleslow on the side seems to me it lacks on taste (maybe a little add on the dressing) .. ordered honey garlic salmon .. quite disappointed because its not that warm nor hot to taste and its somewhat hard .. i think its been cooked early .. mashed potato is so-so i think for me its because im used to with having cream sauce more ..
Verdict of going back .. mmm well yeah with diff people and some friends ..
Food's great. Love the baby back ribs, roasted pork belly.. the Miguel's platter, i recommend too. The place is cozy and the staff are friendly. Though there's limited parking space especially during dinner, weekends and/or holidays.. But overall, customer service, food and ambiance is great. 😀
Place: Homey. Elegant without going overboard. Plenty of legroom in between tables. Never felt crowded even when the place was packed. Air conditioning hit the perfect spot.
Food: Excellent taste. Complementary sauces elevated the flavor without overwhelming the dish itself. Beware of the fried pork belly: meat was tough.
Price: around 800 pesos for 2 main courses (chicken and pork). Did not order drinks.
Service: Good service. They accept card. Service charge already included. Servers were accomodating without being too intrusive.
I ate there, should you?: If you're ever around in Marikina, look it up. Actually, if you're anywhere in Manila, look it up. The trip would be worth it. Again, watch out for that fried pork belly.
![Zomato]( "Recensione")
Go here if you feel like pigging out. With dishes that are priced at 200++ you can definitely order two to three meals without going broke. Also, did you know that they accept card? WHAT A TREAT.

***Parking and Accessibility***
The place is always packed. If you’re going to travel with a car, be prepared to park elsewhere. Miguel and Maria is in Lilac Street—it’s comparable to Maginhawa, but with less foot and vehicle traffic. Parking somewhere other than the resto you’ll go to could be quite troublesome so be ready for that.
***Ambiance and Cleanliness***
Miguel and Maria is one of—if not the CLEANEST place I have ever dined at. The staff are all presentable, amiable and polite which very well compliment the warm and cozy feeling you’ll be greeted with upon entry into the restaurant. It’s like dining from the comforts of your very own home. It doesn't intimidate with high ceilings, bright lights, fancy kitchen wares and a dining space that stretched for miles. In fact, the seats are closely arranged that chit chats from the next table can sometimes be heard. BUT that’s exactly what makes the place homey. 😊 Dining while seeing who’s at the next table, what food’s coming in and out of the kitchen make the place feel like a small community. And oh, did I mention that there's a button in every table that calls the attention of servers once pressed? YESSS. Miguel and Maria is that extra.
***Taste and Value for Money***
Miguel and Maria offers a generous serving of tasty Italian and American dishes without breaking the bank. Although I haven’t tasted anything exceptional, the quality is similar to restos where food is twice as expensive. In Miguel and Maria, you can enjoy good food for a cheaper price---can you honestly think of anything better than that?
I loved Miguel & Maria’s buffalo wings and mac n cheese! The restaurant is a bit fancier than the usual in the area and that makes it a gem in our city. It gets crowded so go ahead of time. If I remember correctly, reservations are only available during the weekdays.
Fast service. Generous servings. Friendly staff. Quite far, and tables are spaced closely you can clearly hear what your next table talked about.
Delicious, generous servings, and great value for your money! Miguel & Maria may seem quite ordinary, but never judge a book by its cover. Their paella and ribs can compete with the best!
We celebrated my birthday in Miguel & Maria since it's one of the top restaurants in Marikina. We had a very hearty lunch since the food were really delicious and filling. We ordered the famous Baby Back Ribs and Buttermilk Chicken among others, and we are highly recommending them! It was also a pleasant surprise when I saw that they had Butterbeer Ice Cream. A perfect dessert!

We had our annual dinner meetup at Miguel and Maria. The seafood paella is very tasty and can be shared by 2-3persons. A good starter choice is Miguel and Maria chicken wings with just the right spiciness and crispiness. We also like the chicken tenders served with generous fries and dip. The shrimp pesto is flavorful, and the crispy potato wedges goes well with Heineken. Overall the good food, quiet ambience, friendly and attentive staff made our dining well enjoyed at Miguel and Maria.
I only ate here once. But the unique thing here is that whenever you want the staff to take your order or get the bill you just have to press some buttons on the table. Food is great akd their mozzarella sticks and pasta are both must try.
Dinner with the besties. 1st, Yummy! 2nd, worth the price and visit. 3rd, the place is clean. 4th, service is okay. 5th, big serving for all the food that we ordered.
Baby back ribs
Stuffed Pork Chops
Sriracha baby back ribs
Seafood paella which is good for 2-3 for only P350
Lastly, No service charge added but worth the tip. :)
Will definitely come back.
Excellent service! The crew are very attentive.
Must try are the seafood paella and chicken wings. You just have to arrive early to ensure your seats

Its my first time to eat here and this is my initial review. The food was great! I ordered baby back ribs with coleslaw and java rice, Garlic parmesan wings (the sauce is to die for) and Mac and Pizza (surprised with the small serving but its forgivable because its cheesy and has pepperoni on top). Since we are the first few persons to dine at around 5pm, the service was fast.Clean rest room, attentive staff and good service. 👍
It took quite a while for us to be seated since it was lunch time on a weekend. We ordered the Buttermilk Fried Chicken which is a new addition to the menu and the Philly Cheese Steak sandwich. The chicken was really good and it went really well with the rice. The cheese steak was just a bit messy and it made the sandwich soggy. The price was also just right, I think we spent less than 600 pesos for our meal. The good food and the price made the traffic going to Marikina from Ortigas Center worth it.
Food: I ordered fries and allos for myself and i forgot what were my aunt and bf ordered hahaha. Anyway for my callos that is btw good for 3 person was soooooooooo tasty. While for the fries, sobrang laki and mukhang fresh. Idk how to explain it but it doesnt taste artificial?hahaha. Must try.
Ambience:very spacious. The interior is nice too. Pwedeng pwede for family gathering, couple date or an event.
Servers: they are all accomodating. They have this buzzer where you can use it to call the attention of the servers. Incase they are busy during the peak hours or your seat is far away. Oh dba,very convenient :)
We ordered:
Seafood paella: Their version of seafood paella is just like their java rice only topped with shrimp, calamari, boiled egg and some veggies.
Steak: My sister requested that she wants it to be well done but it came out medium well.
Beef ribs: Tender and savory.
Baby back ribs: Tender and juicy.
Roasted pork belly: Crispy and juicy.
Calamari: Already soggy when they serve it. But love the dipping sauce!
Buffalo wings: Not that spicy. Too sweet for my liking.
Mac and cheese: A real comfort food!
Place is good only if you are seated on the sports bar part. The first time we dine here, we were seated on the expansion part. Luckily, this time we were seated inside the restaurant.
No reservations through phone call, first come first serve.
Limited parking spaces only.
Food: Really tasty! There are also a lot of other options to choose from
Service: Just fine. Not really exceptional.
Location: It's in Lilac so it's 👍
Ambience: It won't feel like you're in Lilac when you get inside. Para kang nasa White Plains. Haha.
1. Food - Superb. Salmon is fresh. Ribs is soft and tender. Food presentation 👌. Taste 👌
2. Place - Along the highway. Not enough parking space. Good ambiance. Perfect for Family, friends and couples. Need to be early, if you go later than 7pm, long que already.
3. Service - Fast. Good staffs
4. Price - Very affordable. When I stepped in, looks pricey. But it's not. No service charge! 👌👌👌Hopefully they will not increase their price😂
Will come back again soon👌👌👌⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
One of the best for me, cozy place very homey which is obviously it's a house converted to a resto. Excellent food, generous serving. Their calamari is gooooood, for me.

I've been in Miguel and Maria for so many times but unfortunately, I was only able to take a picture of their food during my last visit.
PLACE:
It was quite small but clean. Nothing special with the place.
FOOD:
Seafood Paella: We used to order this all the time. It has generous amount of calamari, shrimps, and hard boiled egg. My friend loves this dish so much that he assure to finish it all or take out leftovers and eat it the following day. If you're also a fan of different kinds of spices, you'll surely love this dish too. Yummy as it looks. But I won't recommend it for people who doesn't want aromatic spices on their food.
Honey Salmon thingy : Sorry I forgot the name of the dish. This one is a must try for me. I'm not a fan of fish but I definiteky enjoyed this dish. The fish was cooked to perfection. Love the taste of honey as well as it does not overpower the fish but it complements the fish. The roasted garlic as well wasn't bitter but its so good that I want to eat even the tiny bits of it.
Chicken Parmigiana : Just imagine a crispy coated tender chicken topped with tomato sauce and gooey cheese. Yuuuuum
Beef Stroganoff : (Wasn't able to take a picture of this) For me, this is a must try. The taste is just simple but the tenderness of the beef and creaminess of the sauce is definitely worth trying.
Baked Mac : It was good but nothing special for me.
P.S. Dine-in has bigger portions than take out. (For Baked Mac)
SERVICE:
Staffs are friendly, accomodating, and very cheerful. However, service would have been better if it was quite fast.
PRICE:
Super affordable!
VERDICT:
Did I enjoy it? - Yes
Would I recommend this? Definitely
Will I come back? - Yes

I really liked their place because it feels like home. Thir staff is nice, attentive, and friendly.
We ordered their baby back ribs, creamy carbonara, and calamari. It was great buy I didn't like the dressing for the calamari. The creamy carbonara was not creamy enough, in my opinion. The baby back ribs is a really must try! Too bad I did not order their all time favorite baked macaroni. Next time I will make sure that I will!
Ambiance -4/5
Service -5/5
Food -5/5
We ordered mac n cheese(220php) and baby back ribs(265php), but our friends ordered nachos, parmesan wings and crispy pork belly.
The nachos is a big serving good for about 2-4 persons and a good appetizer while waiting for our orders to arrive. The mac n cheese is a thumbs up and dont the ribs is really yummy.

Nice place. Super cozy. Super yummy food and super attentive crew. Will surely come back to try the other food
PS
I hope my next visit meron na kayong wifi 😊
Superb!! 5star on food varieties, presentation, ambiance, cleanliness, courteous waiter/tresses. Parking was a little challenging, but all worth it!
We always order salmon, steak and macaroni and cheese. We're always satisfied with the taste but I think they could shave off some of the price. Service is so-so. Ambience is uncomfortable for introverts because the layout is conducive to hearing your loud fellow customers bragging about something to their friends. The music is not enough to drown their noise. Quite irritating!
Food - we ordered the salted egg chicken wings and Miguel's platter (baby back ribs, sausages, roast chicken, and fries) and everything was amazing. Love the restaurant ambience also. Will definitely go back and try other dishes!
This place is always packed at Dinner time, so we figured we'd try this out... They serve large portions of ribs, which was tenderly cooked. Great ambiance too and service was snappy.
Avoid the Mac & Cheese though.. and make sure when you order their stuffed pork chop you'd ask them to cook it well..
Visit the place for a lunch.It was cozy and very affordable.Love their RIBS! It was tender and juicy, like their menu selections and they have helpful staff as well.A must try in the area.Very generous serving.Will definitely visit the place again!

We started lunch with the Bacon Chowder (PhP 80). It was creamy, rich, and comforting with a smoky jolt from bacon. Yum!
Coated in sweet, salty, and savory flavors, the Salted Egg Wings (PhP 220) had a crisp crust and a drippingly juicy interior. The skin gave way with a satisfying crunch to the steaming insides. The chicken wings were delectable alone, and similarly so when consumed with Miguel & Maria’s mayo jalapeno. Aside from salted egg (an ongoing food trend), there wasn’t anything fancy going on; it’s just hearty, satisfying soul food that sticks to your ribs.
We love salmon and almost always order it when present in a restaurant’s menu. The Honey Garlic Salmon (PhP 300) looked more interesting than usual and it definitely deserved a space on the table. It was garlicky, made with sweet-seasoned baked saffron, and served on a bed of mashed potato with a side of roasted vegetables. The fish came out deeply flavored, moist, and tender. The kick of garlic and the sweet, floral notes of honey are a match made in foodie heaven.
Presented as a generous slab of baby back ribs, Miguel & Maria’s Baby Back Ribs (PhP 265) was marinated and perked up by the zing of their homemade rib sauce, grilled to perfection, and served with coleslaw and java rice. The meat itself was suitably tender, almost falling-off-the-bone, but with just enough bite, and a pleasant amount of char. It was tad fatty and fortunately not overwhelmingly so, with a good fat-to-lean ratio. So good!
Creamy Pesto Shrimp (PhP 220) would be a true standout for fans of pesto since it’s lustily-flavored with pesto sauce and filled with a lot of thick, creamy goodness. The pasta took in the summery flavors of freshly picked basil leaves, topped with shrimps, and served with garlic bread. Shrimps were the tender element that made the dish more scrumptious.
We also enjoyed the crispy and crunchy Roasted Pork Belly (PhP 290) with garlic parsley rice. There are better versions of pork belly that I’ve had in recent memory, but this one also passed with flying colors. Flavor was bold, staying true to the quintessence of Filipino dish. It’s an awesome addition to any meal and a treat that’s hard to beat. Veggies on the side were a good accompaniment to the taste and texture overall.
For a sweet ending, we shared a slice of Blueberry Cheesecake (PhP 150) and an ample serving of Stuffed Nutella Cookie Ala Mode (PhP 150). Loaded down with cream cheese, the blueberry cheesecake was worth every calorie. It’s a classic, a darling dessert that seemingly never goes out of fashion. The warm cookie, on the other hand, was also good. It had just the right amount of sweetness, and with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, it instantly took our taste buds on an island vacation.
Fantastic!
I've been here so many times with my family. Because of it's great price and aesthetically pleasing ambiance. The food here are great, delicious and have a justified price. I recommend their baby-back ribs, it can be shared to others (2-3 persons, its a single meal). The paella is great, it can be seafood or meat (4-5 persons). And my favorite, their salmon dish. Smothered with cheese and paired with rice or mash potato, you can never go wrong on your taste buds.

I love how the place was designed, minimalist, with its humble furniture, a bit dim though. You needed flash for your photos to brighten. The food are great, generous in terms of amount, maybe because of its price also. 200+ . I suggest that you try their paella. Its worth the price.
their lasagna, seafood paella and baby back ribs are a must try. sobrang sarap. i love the idea that they convert the house to a restaurant., though kulang na parking nila sa dami ng dumadayo. kaya cguro nagkaroon agad ng comedor sa gil fernando ;)
I loved their steak ❤️👍. I will surely go back here and try some more dishes they offer. Affordable with generous amount of food that will full your tanks. Very friendly staff.
Marikina is one of the foodie havens I have been eying for the longest time. However, every time I plan to visit this foodie wonderland, it gets cancelled. But thanks to Zomato and ABS-CBN, my dream food crawl became a reality and I finally got to visit one of the restaurants I have been dying to visit.
Good food with good price! My daughter specially loved their grilled cheese. We also ordered baby back ribs, baked salmon, and buffalo wings which were all delicious! Also kudos to their accomodating servers
I like how each meal was presented. The restaurant ambience is also nice with very accomodating staff. I was just worried if the beef was not cooked well as my mom complained of an upset stomach until the day after we ate at the restaurant. However I would still go here again if there is a chance.
Their food is great, you will not regret your stay here. The staff is very accomodating and friendly. As for the parking, be sure to go there early so you can get a good parking slot since they are always so packed! Keep it up Miguel and Maria! 😁👍🏻🍝🍖🥗🥘
