One of my go-to places! Their service might be a bit slow, but that's because they only prepare a dish when someone orders it!
I love their tacos (both soft and hard shells), Querida Mia Verde, vegetable burrito, naked burritos and breakfast meals.
Army Navy may not be the best TexMex resto there is, but I still find most of their dishes delicious. The food items are reasonably priced and the serving portions, HUGE!♥️ Some branches are even open 24 hours!
What’s great about this branch of Army Navy is tat it’s 24/7. The food is pretty decent, too. It’s on the more expensive side (in terms of fast food restaurants), but the servings are big.
Army Navy is one of my go-to places to get a burger, burrito, taco, quesadillas, or even fried chicken. With its diverse menu, it may seem Tex-Mex American so to speak. There are numerous branches around the Metro, but this is my preffered branch as it is:
1) close to work (a short cab ride away)
2) open 24/7
My usual orders are one of the burgers, and my favorite burrito, the Steak Burrito. Of course, I cannot forget the Freedom Fries on the side.
The burgers are always beefy and juicy. Steak burrito can be a hit or miss. Sometimes it has been dry, but then putting loads of hot sauce makes things a tad bit better. The fries has always been spot on. Since the fries are thin, they are always crispy. Love the fries!
Food: 4.0 - Excellent taste. Sometimes a few misses.
Price: 4.0 - Things can be on the pricey side. On special days though, the company does have certain promos, and that's something to always watch out for.
Service: 5.0 - Food is served pretty quick, even when busy.
Ambience: 4.0 - With such a name, it isn't surprsing that the place has some sort of barrack pantry feel with it's very minimalist and clean design.
One day, I will give a go on their breakfast items.
They want the style of the restaurant to be more of the self-service type. But we are in a country that people love to be served so they made some adjustments with their service.
I’m willing to oblige just so you know.
Best food you can get here: the tortilla soup. The herbs, the tortilla crunch on top, that hot steam that smells zesty. Clam chowder is expensive by 5 more pesos I think, but it doesn’t mean that expensive means better. Next best is their freedom fries, breaded and cut in small sticks, I can come in a bad mood and exit happy after eating these two.
Burgers and burritos also do not disappoint, their fried chicken with gravy and rice is more on the stronger side because of the black pepper. Their rice meals are good as well.
Just note that if you get something to go or for delivery, the foil they wrap their burgers and burritos are thin, they hold on to the food until they get to you, but when you open it you need to have a proper plate below you or you’ll spill sauce on your shirt.
I like the crispy breaded chicken with the not so salty peppery gravy that goes with it. Just wished that prep time's shorter and price a bit lower.
I keep on ignoring ARMY NAVY until I tried their foods in Greenhills branch. From there on I fell in love with their Burgers and Burrito. Their branch here in Ortigas is much better than their sister branch in Greenhills, place is more cozy.
I always order fearless fried chicken and its good even without their rich in pepper gravy. The freedom fries is also a great side with Libertea. Their burger is great no doubt about it.
Tip: Just order the regular Libertea. You might be up all night if you upsize.
Been going here for few times now because I love the P.I. burrito. It is actually adobo burrito. The burgers here are awesome. But for the crew, sometimes they don't clean the tables right away. Unlike in the Taft branch, they don't have squeeze bottles for the white sauce. I have to go to the counter for refill.
Their burritos and burgers are to die for. They have a lot of branches around the metro which offers quality service and delicious meals. Definitely, a burger/burrito lover hang-out place.
As I get more into food reviews, so does invites from restaurants and even homemade products. Last week, Army Navy sent an email for me to try their new pasta line called Mextiza. Imagine a mostly Mexican vibe serving Italian. They offer two classic, Carbonara and Pasta with Meatballs. The two unique ones, Guacamole and Enchilada took my interest and picked them.
