Reviews Army Navy Burger Burrito

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.

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.

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.

Enchiladas can be filled with a variety of ingredients, including meat, cheese, beans, potatoes, vegetables or combinations. Imagine these in pasta form. It actually worked! I love the vibe it created and it was so flavorful. This went so well with the Guacamole. Avocado on al dente noodles made perfect sense.

Another plus with this experience is its affordability. Price points are at Php 270 and its good for 2-3 people.

Army Navy is one of our favorite but we don’t usually go there
because it is a bit pricey just to have burrito or quesadilla. Well I hope they
will offer combo meals soon so it will be affordable and pocket friendly.

Food: Our favorite thing to order in Army Navy is the
Steak Burrito love the combination with salsa. My daughter likes Steak
Quesadilla and freedom fries which is a bit spicy so it is a good or perfect combination
with libertea. Service: like any other fast food chain the crew are very quick
and attentive. Place: it is clean spacious maybe because of the price wala
masyadong tao in strata 2000 branch :)

There's such a thing as being strong...but it's different being ARMY strong. Army Navy packs all the militia to deliver American-Mexican fusion of comfort fast food. With a little less than 30!branches already across the metropolis, they are providing us burgers, burritos, quesadillas, tacos, milkshakes and cheesesteaks!

This branch of theirs located at the ground floor of Strata 2000, nestled at the heart of the Ortigas CBD, is just the perfect location to satisfy your burrito fix.

Now, what's most fulfilling about this franchise is how it has expanded it's menu to serving breakfast meals (pancakes & Filipino rice dishes) and how it has managed to make its look and vibe like you're in a Mess Hall.

So let's get down to business.

The Quintessential Salute (+):
- diversity of their menu crossing over an American-Mexican mix
- Breakfast Burritos. I've lived long enough in the US to know NOT a lot of places offer this, and for it to be part of their menu, KUDOS. And that Filipino touch of having a Longganisa variant...perfect.
- LiberTea Iced Tea. I have high respect for restaurants who brew their own tea. It's not a simple process. They brew this and it comes out hot, that's why whenever they serve it, they do so with a lot of ice. Flavor wise, it's unique and an escape from your commercial, diabetes juice.
- Their Sides. Onion Rings & Freedom Fries, again, unique variants because they serve these differently across other fast food chains. Worth the buy.
- Marketing. Army Navy knows how to sell themselves well taking full advantage of their brand name, and being so Americana. How they have interesting reads on their walls explaining what Freedom Fries or the Bully Boy Burger is, hat's off to that. And their Gift Certificates, to call them G.I. Bills, that's witty.
- Their simple mission: Come in Hungry, Walk Out Happy.

Lieutenant's Demotion (-)
- like any fast food chain, thy all strive for consistency. I've been fortunate to dine in several Army Navy branches may then around my home, office, or even in Tagaytay. The look will always remain the same, but sometimes they can fall short on serving size. I've encountered a few instances on how uneven some meat portions can be inside their burritos. Or how I would experience having a small bone in their Chipotle Crispy Chicken Sandwich. I may have dined on bad days, but still.
- Their burgers. Let me be the first to burst your bubble, yes 1/4 pound patty, but it can still be better and more flavorful. If I had to "Facemash" burger brands across the city, Army Navy can be beaten out by it's neighboring more commercial fast food chains in the first round. To each his own, but I'll go for a more "8 cut" blend. Still, I admire how they market the Bully Boy Burger, it being a triple quarter pounder.

The General's Orders:
1) Steak Breakfast Burrito - a hand's down favorite. Take it any time of the day, it's a power meal ready to be unwrapped and devoured to break your fast.

2) Chicken Quesadilla - regardless of the flavors, their quesadillas are cheesy and flavorful enough. Just right, and perfect with their Army Navy sauce and salsa.

The Major's Decision:
I am fan. I am a patron. I am an Officer and a Gentleman to the Army Navy.

Cheers!

A day before the payday Friday, my officemates and I decided to have our lunch be delivered by Army Navy. We called up their delivery service, 333-3131, and ordered good food. We had the following:

-Chicken Quesadilla for Sir Jayson
-Steak Burrito for Michie and Ma’am Kat
-Charlie Bravo for Ma’am Lyn and
-Burger for me

We called around 11:30AM and said our food will be delivered after 45 minutes or an hour. It was a long time for us to wait for our food, but to a surprise, our food was delivered around 12nn! :) HOORAY! Everyone’s hungry so we dig in to our food right away!

Sir Jayson had Army Navy’s Chicken Quesadilla (Php165) which is made of folded tortilla with chicken, cheese, sautéed onions and green bell pepper. According to Sir Jayson, their chicken quesadilla was tasteful and oozing with cheese. It had the right amount of spice and saltiness and the chicken was so tender.

Michie and Ma’am Kat had Steak Burritos (php195) for them. It consists of flour tortilla filled with meat, Spanish rice, beans, onions, lettuce and cilantro. Michie preferred without the beans and she really appreciated it that the staff who got our orders took note of this. They both agreed that the burrito was delicious and heavy to eat. As for me who have tried this before, it tasted a bit spicy and the meat was a bit chewy and lacked some taste. However, the serving was just right to be full. (Each burrito and quesadilla comes with a salsa and sour cream sauce.)

For Ma’am Lyn, she devoured her favorite Army Navy food- The Charlie Bravo (php195). It is an open-faced quesadilla, topped with cheese and bacon. Ma’am Lyn was so kind to let me try it and beym! The combination of cheese and bacon with the thin and crispy tortilla was so right I just can’t get enough! The cheese exploded its cheesiness while the bacon oozed out its smokiness and crispiness! (CHEESE AND BACON HEAVEN!!!) If only I can ask for more bites, I will. :p

And for me, I ordered their Burger (Php165). It is their classic, single quarter-pound beef patty topped with fresh, crispy lettuce, tomato slice and onions, mayo and ketchup on toasted sesame seed Kaiser bun. I can’t believe their burger is this big. I was only thinking it would be a size of McDonald’s burger. Oh well, the saying is really true, first impressions doesn’t last.

The burger was good. Its patty is thick and had the right smoky flavor. The combination of tomatoes, lettuce, onion, mayo and ketchup was perfect and had a hint of spice. What I don’t like with this burger was I can smell my breath and smells like shawarma. HAHA! But nonetheless, I enjoyed each bite of my burger :D

Will definitely go back to devour a whole charlie bravo! :)
