I've never been to this place, but as I look at the ads, it looks like, I will enjoy the food, I just hope there are many branches of this near my place in Cubao.

Food is delicious as hell. Ate here 2 times now in Kapitolyo. Kahit na mahaba lagi pila and dami tao di naman ganon katagal waiting, and you can see that everyone is satisfied right after. I recommend the nachos, burrito and cheese quesadilla. For heavy meals the blue marlin and paella is a must try. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Always an awesome time with family at Silantro Kapitolyo. Excellent food, value for money, and efficient staff. They would even offer to take your photos without you asking! Good job, keep up the good work!

I thought the restaurant was just hype because of the hour-long wait. When I took my first bite of the nachos, I was completely wrong. That hour long wait was totally worth it for the Mexican Rib-Eye, Burrito, and Nachos.

Food tastes soooo good, that is if you like a fusion of Fil Mex cuisine. Servings are food for sharing and their prices are very affordable.

Definitely the best restaurant for us! We tried their branches in UP Town Center and in Laguna but their Kapitolyo branch is the best so far. Been coming here almost every week on my days off. Legit burrito and Caliente wings and their paella is so good too. Highly recommended.

Called in advance to order for pickup. Kuya was very accommodating and friendly. Ordered 30 minutes in advance. Waited for an additional 10 minutes for the packing. In and out in less than 5 minutes.

Also, I forgot to request that they separate the beef and tomatoes from the nachos. But they did. Nachos didn't get soggy. :D

Thank you for the excellent service. :)

We went here for a weekend late lunch and were able to sit right away. We just two people. Right of the bat, the menus were disgusting! It was wet and dirty. I could not believe they would hand it to people. The staff were quick and attentive though. We ordered their nachos and paella. The food was good however I had the impression that the place was dirty.

I still recall the first time I tried Silantro  some two years ago at  its Kapitolyo branch which was near our abode. It was first son's birthday and  I made him choose the restaurant where we can have lunch in. Of  all the options available to us, he chose Silantro and my curiosity was piqued. Previous to that I have seen the queue at that particular restaurant at what seemed to me was all hours of the day.

First time here and the nachos did not disappoint. We ordered it twice! Everything is fairly priced. No wonder lines are always long outside. I am also surprised by the simplicity of their menu. The only sad thing is that they do not serve alcohol because they’re located next to a church.

Their food is one of the things that are worth waiting for. Dining with a friend, waiting didn't seem like a waste of time too! We just had their nachos and grilled mahi-mahi, both of which were appetizing. The prices are reasonable. No wonder, the queue was like that during lunch.

One of my favorite restaurant here in Kapitolyo. Their quesadillas and burritos are the top on my list as this satisfy my tummy. For me, these are the perfect combination here in Silantro. I ordered beef burritos, the beef was so juicy and chunky - it was perfectly matched to the rice and pita. Additionally, I ordered the famous quesadillas. It was so creamy and tasty. This serving, I guess, is good for two peeps. Also on the side, the sauces compliment the burrito and quesadillas. I really love the white sauce and the chili sauce. I highly recommend this restaurant! #mypatheticdiary #foodie #foodporn #happy #satisfiedcustomer #foodph #silantro #burrito #quesadillas

I had a wonderful lunch date with my girl here, the place is along the food trip street of Kapitolyo.

Parking is a bit difficult as there are only 2 slots in front of the restaurant luckily there are parking boys willing to help you in the area.

So to the food, we had the soft shelled tacos(completo and medio) and beef nachos both were very filling choices. All this at a sub-500 pesos bill was amazing! The quality of the food was well worth the price and the taste especially with their signature sauces were over the top!

Parking is a big letdown. Food is great and worth every peso. Can't eat and talk properly because of staff letting us know that our vehicle might get towed. Should have a decent parking area for the number of people who goes here.

I’ve always been a fan of Silantro’s Burrito from Day 1 but never got to try their other dishes until just recently. Their beef quesadilla has become my next favorite food to order next to the Burrito! The meat is sandwiched in between a tortilla with the perfect amount of cheese topped with tasty fries. If you’re going to order this, make sure to consume it while it’s hot (the burrito can wait).

I also love their wings! It’s got the right amount of heat and a burst of flavor in every bite!

Service is always great! The service crew are warm, friendly and attentive. I’ve tried other Silantro branches in Nuvali and Tagaytay but their mother branch in Kapitolyo has the best taste and the best service. I may be biased because this branch has a special place in my heart. I’ve already built so many memories eating here with friends and family, thus making the overall customer experience even better. I wish they’d preserve the look and feel of their branch in Kapitolyo; brings back nostalgic memories —not to mention food nostalgia!

Best nachos in metro manila. Their steak is also good but have the same taste as the beef in the nachos, you are technically tasting the same thing since you are using the same three sauces for all their meals. there is no variety of flavors but it still tastes good. you just get tired of having that same flavor inside your mouth after a couple of minutes. but still...the nachos!!! too bad the kapitolyo branch did not have any beer.

Food's SO good! The place is small (and actually kind of hot inside) and if you come when the place is packed, you might have to wait outside for over 15 minutes. But the food is definitely worth it! And once inside, the staff are nice and attentive and service is fast (and while waiting, the crew may also get your order and the wait once you're seated won't be that long). The sauces are fantastic, too.

Hmm, had high expectations here because of the reputation and reviews here on Zomato. When we went, we had to wait a bit to be seated... even though it was only around 5pm. So it's really a popular place. Anyway, the food was really good, especially the beef tacos. Huge servings, too. Was just a bit surprised that the place itself was smaller and more modest than I expected. I see its UPTC branch regularly and just thought that the ambience/look there was to be expected across all branches. But will definitely go back because the food's delicious.

Will keep on coming back to this place (as long as the prices don’t go up lol). Real OGs know that Silantro is one of the best restaurants in Kapitolyo, if not the best restaurant in Kapitolyo. Service is awesome, prices are cheap and food is to die for. Must try the Nachos (I prefer chicken), Quesadillas, Caliente Wings and their Burrito. Their sauces are all bomb (and refillable!!!). Overall, everything is great here.

Silantro Beef Nachos. Definitely must try! (Thank me later. 😅)

We went here on a weekday night. I expected there was gonna be a queue, but still oh so hopeful there won't be because the other restos we passed along Kapitolyo weren't packed. But nope, not Silantro. The place was packed.

We ordered Beef Nachos, Ribs and Paella. The only picture I got to take was the one before I started nibbling on everything. It was sooo good! Great value for money in terms of quality and quantity.

Must try. New fave. Happy tummy.

Decided to grab a quick bite as it was the closest branch to my area. There was no line when I got there but it was too hot to enjoy it outside so I opted to wait for a table inside where they have air conditioning. There weren't a lot of tables in the place but we didn't have to wait long. There were a lot of servers who were quick on their feet and attentive to our needs. Ordered the nachos, chicken tacos, quesadillas, and lamb chops. All good and the prices were more than fair. Would come back again if I have cravings.

The place is small so if you are planning to dine here, you have to be an hour early or else you have to wait. The food is good. We ordered beef nachos, best to eat while waiting for the other orders. Next is the callente wings, good for sharing, it is spicy but it tastes good. Better if spicyness could be adjusted. Lastly, we have Paella. This is good for 2-3 person, it taste good also, I like the seafood on it, but the rice is a little bit soggy.

Had cravings for some mexican food and decided to try out Silantro.
We ordered:

Nachos - Generous serving with lots of beef, onions covered in cheese. This could easily be shared by two people.

Soft beef taco - Soft tortilla filled with all kinds of good stuff. You can choose how many types of meat you want in it.

Silantro’s burrito - Solid burrito. Served with a cucumber dipsauce.

Silantro’s paella fajita mix - So much going on in one plate. The rice could be a dish of its own. My girlfriend claimed all shrimps for her own so thats a good review. Sadly the mussels didnt live up to the rest of this dish because they were not that fresh anymore.

Fresh dalandan juice - Refreshing drink that suited in contrast to this food.

Good and fast service. Generous amount of food to a very affordable price.

A perfect place for your mexican food cravings.

Would have been a 5 if not for the mussels.

It was my first time to try and good thing there were no lines. Maybe because it was for late lunch, around 1pm on a humpday Wednesday.

Anyway, I loved everything we ordered! Medio soft taco with beef and lengua; nachos; cheese quesadilla and dinamita. Although they could make the dinamita spicier.

Food is great, price is better! So what are you waiting for? Head on over to Silantro for your tex mex cravings! 🤤

BEST PLACE FOR MEXICAN FOOD!

Nachos are loaded with toppings and has available dips. Burger is ginormous and juicy. Chicken wings is so tender. Fries is too soggy though.

🔘 Also you have to wait for a long line if you come in late. 😭

What can I say, Silantro just gives you value for your money.

Serving wise, taste wise along with their service is prompt, attentive and polite.

Few things though is, as this is a well sought of restaurant in this tiny kapitolyo area, parking is hard. Specially on meal times such as lunch and dinner on weekends.

I think their store needs a little more cleaning and freshing up as well, it gets overlooked when it's busy, but in slow times. It kind of gets noticeable and gives a sad vibe.

Overall still a regular of Silantro and hoping they get more branches all over.

Finally got to try this restaurant with some friends when we arrived early. The place is always so full you will have to wait long before a seat is available. I remember the nachos being the highlight of our meal. It’s loaded with meat and cheese. The steak was a bit tough. The fruit vegetable drink I had tasted too healthy for me. Want to try their other dishes

I love mexican cuisine. This place in Kapitolyo, Pasig is one of the best choices for friends to hang out and have a great meal.

They have huge servings of chicken wings, their burrito, and beef nachos are also a must try. The price of the food is just right. You can get a meal with just 200-300 pesos. Better if you really come in groups so you’ll definitely enjoy the various dishes they can offer.

Parking is a challenge in the area. So I suggest that you visit the resto early before lunch or before dinner time unless you are willing to fall in line that could take hours. Hopefully they can find a spot in Kapitolyo with available parking space. Will give a 4 star rating for now. 👍

Come early or prepare for the long queues. The place is always packed despite the inaccessibility of the location.

Must-try items:
- Beef Nachos 🌟
- Quesadillas
- Caliente Wings
- Burrito
- Pork Ribs

Serving sizes are generous and food is always great!!! Service time is quick and staff are attentive and well-trained.

Place is small and it can get really loud inside, so it's not the most ideal place to catch up.

Parking is available but very limited, you'll likely be forced to park on-street.

My friends from Pampanga came to visit us so I wanted them to experience the food here in Manila. I searched for food places around Mandaluyong and this was the first resto in the list. We went there and gladly were seated right away (i think that was 11am - tip: don’t go during dinner time otherwise you’ll really have to wait for hours). We ordered burrito, nachos, porkchop and lamb and chicken skewers. I super love the burrito and skewers! Plus the serving size is good for sharing.

We went back here for their chicken wings since most of their customers order it. It’s absolutely a must try - 5 stars!

• Papi’s Fritas ₱145: fries a little soggy, topped with cheese, tomatoes and yummy seasoning.. good for 2 pax for starters
• Beef Nachos ₱180: again good for 2-3 pax to share. Crunch chips, cheese, extremely tender small cubes of beef (not ground), Silantro signature green sauce, topped with basil... delectable!

• Beef Skewers ₱290: 2 skewers of bbq beef according to your preference of doneness; its quite tasty
• Grilled Mahi mahi ₱230: tender, flaky meaty fish comes with rice& signature sauce
• Fruit shakes ₱150 (watermelon & mango): no additives, it doesn’t come from a juice concentrate
• total bill ₱1500 for 3 pax, includes 10% service charge. Totally worth every bite! I highly recommend this place!

AWESOME Mexican dishes with Filipino twist.
Homey atmosphere as in you can dine in wearing whatever you want (just don't go their naked - laughs).
Super love their chicken wings and quesadillas!!!
Service is quite fast - they will inform the guests that food will be out within 15 to 30 mins, but I have to say that they delivered our food to our table less than the said service time which is really AWESOME!
Only thing they need to improve on is consistency with their pork ribs. At times it's dry while other times it's juicy. Also the tenderness of its meat.
Still, I really love their food and I highly recommend this joint.
Cheers!

It’s my first time to try Mexican food and I will definitely come back for their dishes. I fell for their cheesy beef taco, overloading seafood in their paella, tasty bbq ribs and their delightful burrito. I find some of their food sweet tho, like the chicken wings and the burrito.

Super limited. I’d advise you to visit here during off-peak hours like 2 pm onwards so you won’t have any problems with parking.

None that I know of. We’re too busy eating to browse the Internet. Lol.

We had a pitcher for the two of us. Thank you!

OUR ORDERS

Plain Nachos ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
The serving is good for two already. I swear. Sometimes this is the only food we order and we’re full already. Super filling and cheesy. It’s so perfect. 😍 Very affordable too.

Quesadilla ⭐️⭐️⭐️
Packed with a lot of cheese and beef. Very nice but it has “umay” factor after a while. 😊

COMING BACK? ☑️
If you’re going on a cheap date with your significant other, go here! Less than P300 can already make your tummy full and your hearts happy. Yum.

I never thought there’s a good tasting mexican restaurant around Kapitolyo until I found this! Silantro offers delicious fil-mex dishes with a great amount of serving size and an affordable price! I’m not a big eater, so most of their serving are good for 2 persons for me. I enjoyed all of what we ordered because all of it was delicious!

This resto is always full of people. The queue here is always long! So my tip here is to come early and better to go here on a weekday! We got lucky to finally try the place when we went there on a Monday night, but around 8pm the place started to become crowded and there's already a queue outside.

We've tried their grilled porkchop, beef nachos, silantro's paella fajita mix, lamb chop and chicken wings. All were delicious.but the only down side that I noticed is that their grilled porkchop is very difficult to cut and chew. But the beef nachos is definitely a winner! Me and my officemate love it so much the we usually order their beef nachos via grab food for our afternoon break in the office.

The employees were nice and accommodating, but I dont like the fact that the place is too small and crowded. Still, if you like mexican food then you gotta try Silantro Fil-Mex!

I can eat this all day! Their nachos is sooo good for sharing ;you can choose 2 sauce (i recommend the silantro sauce especially the spicy one). Caliente wings are very good as well as their burritos.
You ‘ll find this place always have long queu mostly during Friday nights and weekends. Usually when we crave for mexican food, after office we go in there and order for take out their Nachos.
Their first branch is here at Kapitolyo which only have 7-10 tables. Hope they can expand and add another floor. When it comes to TexMex food, you can never go wrong with Silantro :)))

My go-to place for my paella, burrito and chicken wings (Caliente Wings) cravings. Paella is good for 3 persons and 5 chicken wings for Caliente wings. Burrito is halved in two which is also good for two persons. Papi Fritas is the most recommended appetizer. You can have their guacamole dip as much as you want.

Good place to get your dinamita (cheese sticks with jalapeño) albeit it being overpriced. They are cooked perfectly though, crispy ‘yung wrapper all throughout. Best with their white sauce dip.

I also love their beef burrito for it’s filled with lots of beef and rice. Although the seasoning is a bit lacking, it lacks the Mexican kick for the burrito. Beef is tender and juicy, it also has lots of salsa, if you’re into that.

Good place to try other cheap dishes too! They say their paella is great!
