I’m not such a fan of paella except here! Probably the ingredients they use, the way they cook it, the rice is just right, the sauce and toppings go well together. I love it.
My absolute favorite Spanish restaurant in the PH. No other Spanish restaurant in the area has tapas as good as this place.
Favorites:
- Salmon TNT (Although a bit pricey now, it’s still a must-try. An explosion of flavors that takes you on a nonstop tastebud trip to heaven)
- Paella Del Chiringuito (their seafood paella is my fav)
- Sangria (Heart. Eyes.)
- Ham bombs (a good & close second to the Salmon TNT)
- Mini tenderloin steaks
- Fried baby squids (tiny & tasty calamari :’) best served fresh. Don’t wait for it to get cold - it’s less appetizing as leftovers. But still so tasty! Especially with some lemon & their aioli)
Least favorite:
- Tuna TNT (it wasn’t terrible...just not our favorite)
We will DEFINITELY come back to try more.
This lively restaurant has been the second closest to my heart after Las Flores.
I love how their salmon bombs were made. Sangria is just as good paired with their other bombas for appetizer. Happy hours here are the best after a long day at work.
Wine of course is best paired with their paella and gambas.
I love how this restaurant gives me a city-chic vibe.
LOVED the Salmon TNT, it’s truly an explosion of flavors in your mouth with the combination of salty salmon, creamy truffle, and the crisp pastry! The best. I can eat two plates of this next time! 10/10
The steak was okay. I think it lacked flavors and sana mas marami pa yung asparagus. For 1,200 the price is sulit but taste wise it’s just ok. 7/10
The crispy baby squid was not crispy at all. It was soggy and bland. Sana ma improve pa nila yung taste nito and yung pagka crispy niya. 6/10
Overall it was an okay dining experience. There were no people when we visited at 5 pm but maybe it’s also because of the outbreak in BGC. The staff were okay lang, sana mas attentive pa because I had to ask for my water three times before the guy finally remembered to serve it to me.
Would return for the tapas and try the paella siguro, pass na for the steak.
2+2 on drinks! Tomatito lived up to its promise as a solid drinking place with its variety of selections. They offer customization for gin tonic and I chose a combination of Hendrick's (gin), schweppes (tonic), cucumber (fruit), cilantro (herb) and no spices. This was paired by meatballs packed with beefy flavor and crispy & salty pork skin. Ask for bread because the dish tastes strong. Next, a glass of classic cocktail: bourbon (Pre-prohibition old fashioned), a musky and woody drink that goes so well with their churros, too good with two kinds of dips, chocolate and caramel. .
Excellent unique food
Pricy
small seving
The food was so good! We were seated right beside the pass and enjoyed watching the chefs prepare the meals. The staff is also very friendly and the service is very quick — we were expecting 15-20 minutes for service but received our orders in less time and in order of course selected: starter, salad, and then main. The cocktails were a bit too strong for my personal taste, but overall a really good experience and would 100% recommend!
One of the best tapas restaurant in BGC the quality of food is great and the wine choices are also wonderful. The interiors have 2 sections there is a sunken part at the back that opens up to the kitchen so it's quite spacious but cozy at the same time. The best part is there is an open parking adjacent to it so finding parking is usually very convenient.
One of my favorite restaurants, i loved the ambience the ceiling to floor windows, the color, and how spacious the place is, also the servers were nice and the food was delish. I suggest orderding the ham bombs for starters and black paella, medallion was on the sweet side but was still okay. Loved it here
Food was excellent and service was good
One word I can say to describe my Tomatito experience: Excellent. From service to the food (and drinks) served, everything was almost perfect.
I would not forget the Tabla Mixta de Ibericos, a platter of mixed cold cuts with a collection of cheese. I can say the same about the Boquerones, those marinated white achovies with homemade potato chips.
And the star of our table, Arroz Negra, that squid ink dry paella with sautéed baby squid and snow peas. Everything we consumed was complimented with a perfectly concocted sweet Red Sangria. Cheers.
I was really surprised about how good their Salmon TNT is. Although it is more on the expensive side, trying it out is a must!
Apart from their really good food, the interior of the place is to die for! Every nook of the restaurant was perfectly instagrammable, where each piece of furniture really fits the entire picture.
I enjoyed the steak a lot and of couse the paella! ❤️ i will definately go back here. The baby squid is a bit dissapointing though. The SALMON! Is the best! I love it!
Food was great but service was lacking. We ordered chicken and it was only when we finished with all of our meals were we told it could not come (we had to wait for 30 min more if we wanted it). In fairness, all the other dishes arrived promptly. We celebrated a birthday here and the cake took so long to come out and the birthday song was extremely awkward we were blindsided by when it started and was already finished by the time we realised it was happening. The restaurant wasn’t packed so we could’ve just come at an “off” day🤷♀️.
I am lucky that this is the nearest restaurant from the office. It serves really amazing paella, pollo, and other great spanish dishes. The service is great too!
The menu is very interesting. Food is good. Service is good too! The menu is very similar tho to las Flores and Rambla which are sister restaurants. But love this place. Easy and lively!
This is my 2nd time here.The salmon tnt tops my list of appetizers.Smoked salmon on top
Of a stuffed air bahuette.drizzled with truffle
Honey. The black paella is also a must try.Across the board,I enjoyed our meal here.

Tomatito has great interiors. It had a festive but classy ambiance. Each part of the room had different designs. The place could accommodate big groups. Food was delicious and the flavors were unique. The prices are on the slightly expensive side so I wish the serving could be increased. It took a long time for the food to be served, we had to wait 40 minutes just for the chicken by the time it arrived, we had already finished eating the other orders. When we asked for the bill, it also took a long time before the dining staff gave it to us.

Tomatito is soooo good, you’re seriously missing out if you haven’t tried it here yet! The salmon TNT was so good that we had to order 2 orders, making that one order per person. We also tried the filete con airbag which is good as well but we just prefer the salmon more hehe. The gambas was great as usual (comparing to its sister company Rambla), plus points because they gave us extra bread free of charge :) it’s addicting to dip it in the oil & eat it with garlic chips! We also ordered the pork with blueberry sauce (can’t remember the exact name on the menu) and while it was excellent, I find the price point a bit too high for the serving size. We ended our meal with the chocolate lava cake but it wasn’t the best. Personally, we didn’t like the mix of sweet and salty but you can tell that they used excellent quality chocolate as it wasn’t too sweet and it had that hint of bitterness. Service was very attentive, the staff always made sure to refill our water and ask us regarding the food. Just a deduction of 1 star because it was pricey haha. Our total bill amounted to approximately P3,700 for 2 people. I would still come back for the salmon tnt and the gambas though, and maybe try some other items in their menu. Tomatito has definitely proved itself to be promising.
Ambience: 5/5
Service: 5/5
Food: 5/5
We had a great experience here. It’s quite expensive but the food here is so good especially when you want to celebrate birthdays, anniversaries, this is the right place for it. ♥️
An unexpected casual lunch brought me to this part of bgc and I was very satisfied with the unexpected gustatory undertaking. I ordered their Callos de Andaluza and Bollycao for dessert and I was impressed.
The Callos had that tender, melt in your mouth savory and spicy kick. It’s so rich and full of flavor that a loaf of bread or a big bowl of rice wouldn’t be enough to make as a pair for this viand. The Bollycao is the type of dessert that you’d put as a choice substitute in the question, Sex or Chocolate. Tender and buttery Brioche bun, stuffed with hazel nut and chocolate is another way of describing indulgence incarnate.
This level of quality doesn’t come cheap though, I’m giving that warning since I don’t want you to get the surprised when you receive the bill.
LOVE this place. Gosh, we stopped by for after-dinner drinks but fell in love with the place instantly. The vibe is very laid back and casual, the music is great, and I really liked the motif. The service was EXCELLENT and I enjoyed both their Strawberry Gin & Tonic and their Enamorao (pictured). Will definitely come back to actually EAT.
Ambiance/Place: it was nice. And i really felt that Mexican Vibe!
Service/Crews: they are nice. They serve water instantly and made sure that you are catered nicely
Food/Drinks: PRICEYYYYYYY! But I love the dessert we bought. Variance of sweet desserts.
Quality if toilet facilities: I hope they have a lot more toilet. Its really hard to wait outside while your bladder is acting up. Lol
The first time I visited was for a friend’s birthday celebration, and there were lots of opportunities to try a variety of their dishes. The portions seem small, but don’t be fooled because you will get full after 4-5 tapas (at least I did personally). Their nachos (with 2 sunny side-up eggs) is delicious, with a little kick to it. Those who don’t enjoy the traditional seafood paella can try the chicken paella, which had lots of protein from the meat and beans. The service is great, with lots of servers on standby. The last time we went, the paella took a very long time, but the staff gave us a free appetiser to compensate, which was a nice gesture.

Had dinner here for a despedida dinner and get-together. Quite fortunate that I was able to get a table via Zomato’s reservation feature, as based on experience, this restaurant is typically full.
We were already bit full before coming here. We just wanted a drink and planned to order a couple of dishes, as we knew servings were pica-pica sizes and were pricey. However, we ended up ordering four dishes and 2 pitchers or Sangria 😆 That’s how good the food and drinks are.. or how tipsy we were 😉
We had the Bombas de Jamon, Salmon TNT, Chipirones a la Andaluza, Croquetas de chorizo y jamon Iberico. Everything was SO GOOD. I wished they had party tray versions, especially of the salmon and the Iberian ham, as I could eat these nonstop 👍🏼 Red Wine Sangria was also refreshing and has a nice kick to it.
Staff was pretty attentive, quick and responsive. At some point, if they see that our glasses are almost empty, they’ll pour the drink themselves. Either they’re proactive or they want to quickly make us drunk and sleepy (kidding 😊).
Love the ambiance as well. There was sufficient space, unlike in other bars where you can practically hear what the people in the other table are talking about. Our friends and I can also talk and hear each other without having to shout and strain our voices (ahem, Barcino Burgos Circle).
We ended up paying almost PHP3,000. A bit steep, but worth it! Will definitely be back 😋
Great atmosphere and the drinks we had were unique and good way to end a night out! Love the almost hidden toilet doors! i thought they were very quirky :)
Super excited to finally try something new that's not Japanese or Korean since most of the delicious new restos are mostly Asian. Got the Chipirones a la Andaluza for our appetizer. The fried baby squids looked ordinary but when dipped into the black chipotle cream and aioli, it was soo good! Next, we ordered Gambas con Sobrasada which were delicious small prawns, the chorizo toppings made it taste meatier. And lastly, we had to order their famous Paella Valenciana and Salmon TNT!! They just melt in your mouth...Great staff and ambiance for a complete dining experience💛
Salmon TNT, Filete Con Airbag and Paella Valenciana: 10/10. Everything we ordered was honestly so good, each one gave us a surprise and left us wanting more.
A bit pricey for the quantity but the food quality’s top-notch.
The appetizers are good. Salmon TNT is really a must try. They served good sangria too. We ordered beef w/ potatoes (forgot the name) and it was just too salty. We told the waiter and they readily replace it with a new one. The second one was better but still a bit salty for us. It’s still a good place to come back to.
Great ambiance. You should definitely try the salmon TNT and the bombas de jamon, to experience a different and unique flavor. Although the price (in general) of this resto is a little higher compared to the servince size... drinks overall are ok here and you can never go wrong.
Loved our dinner here on a Saturday evening. It's best to reserve in advance since the place gets packed.
We had 2 cocktails: Pre-Prohibition Old Fashioned with bourbon, angostura & brown sugar and Le Bamba with gin, aperol & black kurant liquer. Both were good.
Our tapas, Gambas al Ajillo waa excellent, Patatas Bravas and Croquettes y Pollo were ok.
Tuna loin with cold gazpacho was really good. Albondigas - meatballs- were ok.
Paella Valenciana was excellent.
Chocolate coulant and Bollycao - Nutella chocolate brioche buns - were good.
The happy atmosphere in Tomatitos and the great service makes for good enjoyment
Ending this stressful weekend by having some delicious Spanish foods! Again, my oh so favorite Patatas Bravas, some cheesy Filete con airbag, Pulpo Ala Tomatito ( octopus with paprika and iberian ham ) and classic Tortilla de patatas together with the best mango shake ever. Also, some orujo ( 50% alcohol content, it seriously smells like acetone 🤣🤣)
Went here for the "Meet and Greet" of our friend's daughter. I already knew somehow that they serve good food because of the positive reviews that I've been seeing but boy, I didn't expect that it would be THIS goooood!
I love their El Cochinillo, ribeye and the salmon tnt! Everything is just bursting with flavors. Something that you will crave every now and then once you've tasted it. I will definitely go back here but Im hoping that they'll open a branch in the North area!
Love this tapas bar. Great food, relaxing music, great service. Croquettes, gambas and lava cake are my favorites here. Wide pay parking lot across it, quite convenient.
Met up with dear friends for dinner. The ambiance was festive but modern. A fun date place where you can be yourself 💓I loved their Pollo Asado- roasted chicken bursting with flavor. It came with roasted vegetables and tangy hot sauce. I also enjoyed their Salmon TNT which we had for appetizers. Perfect combination of truffle and the hearty flavor of salmon. For dessert, we had their flan. An interesting twist with lime. Reminiscent of key lime pie. Their basil sorbet is refreshing too. Will definitely be back to try their other dishes 😍
My first time was an unforgettable experience. T’was so much fun! Went here for the Fiesta Latina event, danced Samba and enjoyed the dishes!
We had Bombas de Jamon, Paella Valenciana, Patatas Bravas, and pitcher of Tinto de Verano. I loved everything that we ordered. My spanish friend thinks the Paella is not as authentic as it would be but I loved it anyway. I didn’t expect the Paella serving would be that small for a price of almost Php800 though. The Jamon and potato dish is just mouth watering!
Definitely going back to this place and try other dishes!! I suggest you make table reservations early on for events.
excellent dining space, pleasant ambience, attentive and cheerful staff, great tapas and wine, highly recommended for a date or weekend chillout with friends or family
My favorite: Salmon TNT
Nice ambiance + staff, and very good food quality. Only problem is value for money as the servings are quite small, even the paella which is supposedly for 2-3 people was a little "bitin". Recommend ordering Salmon TNT and the croquetas chorizo!
Was pleasantly surprised that the food was better than what this resto group normally offers. Although the paella was not exceptional, all other items were pretty good. Would try it again and see the other items
If you're planning to hang-out with your best friend or your girl squad on a Friday night and drown yourself in self-love and delicious sangria, well this is the place to be!
This is a perfect place for a struggling millennial who just wants to have an ice cold sangria and just talk about life, love, and the harsh reality of being broke in this expensive world!
The ambience is amazing, the food is tasty, you can tell they use really good ingredients when making them. Paella is worth a try and also their Sangria.
Good food .... taste is with a twist tho traditional spanish: mexican. I like the salmon truffle and ceviche the most . Paella is also good ❤️. Staff are excetionally nice especially with my mom . Thanks Tomatito for the good experience !

Tomatito would be my new happy place for meat and cheese. I wasn't expecting much when I visited this place. I just know that it would be costly but I did not expect that I would be this surprised with the flavors it has to offer.
We had a number of dishes such as Bombas de jamón, Filete con airbag, Salmón TNT, Croquetas de trufa y pollo, Gazpacho Andaluz, and Mucho chocolate y mango. The Bombas de jamón is cheese wrapped in ham. I do like the taste, each piece brings my palate to a new level of happiness. None of the components of the dish overpowers the other. Both ham and cheese are mild in taste. Filete con airbag was another good sandwich. It is mini sandwiches with tenderloin steak and cheese in baguettes. Concept is very similar with Bombas de jamón but the taste and texture was so different. Salmon TNT would be the highlight of this array of food. The Salmon melts in your mouth. This dish embodies what chefs mean that meats melt in the mouth. It was an explosion of flavors. The croquetas de trufa y pollo to me was a filler. Taste was good but cannot compete with the sandwiches above. The Gazpacho or cold soup was a palate cleanser for me. After trying one piece of food, I usually take a spoonful of gazpacho. It was a refeshing soup and I do recommend it for adventurous eaters. For our dessert, we had mucho chocolate y mango. It is dark chocolate lava cake with mango sorbet. This dessert was made to perfection but should be eaten separately,for me. Lava cake was moist and chocolately. I love the Filipino chocolate emphasized in flavor for this dish and the mango sorbet was really fresh and mildly sweet.
To summarize, I am in love with this restaurant! The price can be a little high but it is very well explained in the taste of their food. Servings of the sandwiches can be little but they have other entrée that are generous in their serving.
Best Tapas bar I’ve been in Manila so far during my vacation. They served organic wine and good food. The location is great and the staff are friendly too.
This Spanish place is festive, clean and enticing. Tomatito’s Cochinillo was really delicious & it was fantastic👌 It was crunchy and the meat was tender & tasty, you definitely must try it!
Starting this Friday night with some
Sexy Tapas and Sangrias at Tomatito! This is my favorite Tapas place. Their tapas are modern and creative. Super delicious as well. Presentation is excellent. The Sangrias are refreshing and yummy. The decor and ambiance is sexy and classy. It’s a great place for a date and for get togethers.

Classy ambiance and fancy furniture here. My God, the Salmon Tapas, Tuna Ceviche are both delectably perfect! Their Crispy Pork Belly is tender juicy; the oil drips on your mouth. Their pumpkin soup is thick and tasteful too. The only concern? The pricy dishes are served in small amounts. But it’s worth trying and coming back to. Nice staff and owner by the way.
This place is a KNOCKED OUT!!!!🍷❤
I love how they made it look so COOL! Its feels Nostalgic.. It feels like I'm with John Travolta era!!! Its soooooo "COME ON BABY LETS DO THE TWIST" 😊😊😊❤❤❤
And their food presentation? WHOA!!! 5 STARS!!!
Taste wise? 4 stars
Price wise? Good enough..
And the Ambiance? 5 STARS!☆☆☆☆☆
KUDOS TOMATITO!🍷🍷
Excellent presentation and interesting food options. Definitely a restaurant you won't get tired of eating at. Just look at those photos... Appetizing and yummy! Overall super setup by tomatito.

Dinner at Tomatito with girafsky again. I actually wanted to try the tequila but we ended up ordering foods as well. Price is expensive but definitely the taste is superb and best experience for first timers. Perfect ambience...and also good place to catch up with old buddies
Good food. Loved the Salmon tapas. the servings are really good especially if you are just one person eating. Their tapas are really good. A little too many people in the resto though. :)
![Zomato]( "Recensione")
We decided to come back to Tomatito for a full meal. We ordered some of their famous dishes, namely the Salmon TNT, Croquetas de jamon Iberico, Pulpo a la Tomatito, Filete con airbag, Paella Valenciana, and Callos.
The dishes that stood out would be the...
Salmon TNT (PHP 595)
I now understand what the hype is about. This dish is really something special. I loved the burst of truffle and salmon, as well as the creamy texture.
Callos (PHP 595)
What i like about this dish is more on the meat it consisted of. The tripe and meat were very easy to consume. I loved the texture; although, i’ve been to places with better flavor in terms of sauce.
Pulpo a la Tomatito (PHP 595)
This was also another unique dish. I loved the combination of the Iberian Ham, Octopus, and Potato, which was delightful in every bite.
The staff were delightful and respectful, despite their being occupied due to the great number of customers.
The atmosphere was great and lively. I really felt the Spanish vibe in the restaurant.
Food is fantastic. Everything we ordered is delicious.
Price is quite expensive thus 4 stars only. Service is good, the waiters are attentive. Just wish that their menu has pictures included.
![Zomato]( "Recensione")
Ever since my mom had first gone to Tomatito with friends in mid-2017 she could not stop raving about it. So on the first Sunday of April, my family and I headed over for a late lunch. Definitely glad we went and am still dreaming about their delicious tapas!
Location
The interior of the restaurant is quite large and has a very big seating capacity, but we opted to sit outside since we had our dog with us. It was a plus for us that the restaurant was pet-friendly as well.
Service
The staff were very friendly, accommodating and knowledgeable about the menu. We also appreciated the suggestions that our server gave us while we were deciding. We also appreciated that the tapas dishes could actually be customized to fit the number of people in the group for a fair, additional charge.
Ensalada de espinacas (P355)
When the salad arrived, it definitely looked deceivingly small due to the bowl. However, it turned out to be a surprisingly fair amount. It was a really refreshing starter with spinach, button mushrooms and Manchego cheese.
Croquetas don Julio (Php 290 + additional)
This was definitely my favorite of the tapas we ordered. I was savoring every bite of the deep fried jalapeno stuffed with spicy chorizo and cheese. It was really simple and straightforward but super tasty. I am looking forward to having it again or maybe recreating it at home in the future!
Salmon TNT (Php 595 + additional)
One of the pricier tapas on the menu, it is definitely worth trying at least once in order to understand the price tag (and name). It's a bit of a mouthful but a must to get everything in one bite. The baked bread ball explodes with a delicious truffle cream that melts deliciously with the honey and mini-mountain of smoked salmon. A must-try!
Pulpo a la Tomatito (Php 595 + additional)
My mom chose this one, as she had enjoyed it last time. It is a mini skewer of of octopus with baby potatoes, smoked paprika and Iberian ham. The octopus was really tender and perfectly cooked but the combination for me was just alright.
Filete a la parrilla (P1295)
A plate of 200g tenderloin steak, confit potatoes and truffle mashed potatoes. Another straightforward dish that I enjoyed, you can't really go wrong with an upgraded version of steak and potatoes.
Paella Valenciana (P745)
I think it was the chef himself who brought this out for us, which is always something appreciated. It was a classic Spanish paella packed with flavor in every bite. My only note was that the layer of rice on the pan was the thinnest I've ever had, considering the price.
White Sangria (P595)
Served in a pitcher, it was refreshing but quite weak or tasted diluted. It could've also been because it was a bit warm sitting outside so it may have watered down. My mom apparently had the Red Sangria last time, so perhaps that version has more of a kick.
Verdict
Although definitely on the more expensive side, the flavors are really enjoyable. I actually only have one or two Spanish restaurants that I enjoy, but now I can definitely add Tomatito to my list. Would recommend as a place to enjoy tapas for merienda. Looking forward to going back soon!
Went here for my birthday.
We ordered mostly tapas: Bombas de jamon, patatas bravas, salmon TNT
each of them had their own special kind of crunch but my favorite was the Salmon TNT. The contrasting flavors with the truffle kept my palate wanting more.
The place was decorated in a way that kept the vibe of our dining experience fun from start to finish. The retro Spanish theme is quite unique in the Philippines and gave us a sort of fiesta vibe. I would love to visit tomatito again.

Been hearing a lot of good feed back about this new tapas bar in BGC. Finally got the chance to drive all the way from North to try this resto bar. Upon entering the bar I noticed the 80’s theme with a hint of moderness in the interior design. The furnitures and fixtures go really well with the whole theme of the place. The waiters’ uniforms were so cute. For starters we had the deep fried baby squid. It’s so good and not too oily. Then we had a salad which is also good because the greens are really fresh and crisp. Then finally we tried their squid ink paella, it taste like heaven! Though I think the portion is small for the price but the taste made me really happy. The paella rice was cooked perfectly, the seasonig is just right, and I love the toasted rice at the bottom. I feel like I could finish it all by myself. My friend and I enjoyed the night with a good glass of wine and a nice live music played in the background. This can be my go to place in bgc. Definitely worth rating 5 stars.
I think the best thing about Tomatito is their ambiance! It's such a great place to hang out with your friends and get some pica-pica. Their service staff is also very attentive. Once I had a reservation for 6 but 2 of my friends wanted to join last minute. Even though the restaurant was full, and they had allotted a table only for 6, they went out of their way to make it work and added 2 more chairs! The only thing that made me give them a minus .5 is that the tapas always seem to come out cold. The price is a little steep, but I think it's worth it.
Loved the food here but be sure to prepare yourselves for the bill.
What we ordered:
"Croquetas don Julio"
Spicy chorizo and cheese stuffed in jalapeno pepper .
Don't be scared, it is not that spicy especially for a person too sensitive for spicyness - this is tolerable. Delicious and must try as appetizer.
"Croquetas de chorizo y jamon iberico"
Iberian chorizo and ham croquettes
Crunchy and tasty! :) Good for appetizer, kids may love this !
"Foie Caramelizado"
Caramelized homemade foie gras terrine, Granny Smith and smoked bacon. Served with walnut and raisin sour dough bread
Cholesterol alert, just eat few once in awhile only.
"Paella del txiringuito"
Very special seafood dry paella
"Salmon TNT"
Explosive balik smoked salmon with honey and truffle... BOOM!!!
This was our favorite!! :)
"Mexico lindo!!! Nachos, cilantro y salsa picante"
Mexican style nachos with sunny side eggs, ragout meat and spicy veggies
This is not your usual type of nachos. I liked the typical type though. :)
You will find the menu filled with fun Spanish tapas, priced mid range upwards (200 php +) and the quantity per plate was not a disappointment. Between E and I, we ordered about 7 plates to share and dessert. I highly recommend the ‘Salmon TNT’, it was a sweet mix of smoked salmon, honey and truffle...

We decided to celebrate a special occassion in Tomatito. We didn't make a reservation so we waited for about 40minutes for a table and it was so worth it! The place was so festive that despite the music and chattering, my date and i still managed to have a decent convo. The food was INCREDIBLE and service was impeccable! Here's what we ordered:
Red sangria pitcher- so refreshing! It was the perfect drink to sip while waiting for our food to be served!
Chicken croquetas with truffle- a bit biased because i love anything with truffle, but this one the date also loved, so legit yummy talaga :)
Iberico chorizo and ham croquetas- ordered this on whim but it was worth it!!
Beef tenderloin with baby potatoes- the beef was so tender and sauce was to die for!
Paella valenciana- highlight of the nigbt. It's probably one of the best paellas we've had!!
Overall, eating in Tomatito was definitely an experience we loved and we'll come back SOON!!
The Salmon TnT was amazing!!! The food was generally great and the ambiance was really unique so I would definitely go back to this place again
I love tomatito’s sexy red retro theme. The service is superb and the personnel really knows their menu. My personal fave include: airbagette, black paella, explosive baked salmon with truffle, and their chocolate cale is a slice of heaven. Its a perfect date place if you ask me since the music is also sexy. Will definitely come back here every now and then.
Been too time in this restaurant over 6 months, nice ambiance but food tend to be oily and fat (normal for Spanish restaurant you will say). Don’t go there if you expect a light meal!

I like how Tomatito is called as the sexy tapas bar. You will certainly have expectations, but it totally lives up to it. This tapas bar is originally from Shanghai and was brought to our shores by the guys behind La Lola. My family and I dined here during father’s day, which is perfect because my dad loves Spanish food.
The place is huge and very attractive. Fiery red walls with Spanish memorabilia all over- movie posters, paella pans, matador costumes. I love the quirky wall with beautiful polka dot flamenco shoes. The overall effect was eccentric and gorgeous, accentuated by the huge neon sign over the kitchen counter. Sexy, in fact.
We had to start with their sangria. It’s not tapas if you aren’t a little tipsy. We started with the passion fruit sangria then moved on to the red sangria. I preferred the passion fruit sangria- all the way!
We had their Salmon TNT, which is probably called that because it is the bomb! Bursting with contrasting and vibrant flavors, I could finish the whole order by myself. We also tried the foie caramelizado; however I was not a fan of this dish. Their montaditos de gambas were okay. The chorizo, I definitely liked. Their croquettas were alright.
The winner dish was the filete a la parrila, with the truffle mashed potatoes and spring onions. Great dish. We also ordered the solomilitos al ajilo, but it wasn’t served. Probably from the confusion of that day, it was a full house. They removed it from the bill when we sorted it out. We also had their paella valenciana, which was okay. Pulpo a la tomatito was pretty good.
The restaurant was very busy that day, but the servers tried to keep up as best as they could. The wait was still a little long, so we opted to have dessert elsewhere. We didn't like that they put us in a really small table for 4 pax. It felt a little crowded and our orders could barely fit.
On a different visit, my friends and I shared their gambas al ajilo, which was nothing special IMO. We had their salmon tnt, which was still the bomb and shared the cheese platter over sangria. It was during this visit wherein we tried the arroz negra, essentially their paella negra or squid ink paella. It was also okay, but I like Barcino’s version better TBH. I would like to try the pumpkin and truffle paella on another visit.
I enjoyed the ambience and dishes enough... Small portions though. Plus you have to wait 30mins when you usethe toilet!😑

BEST TAPAS BAR EVER!!!!!! ❤️❤️❤️ I super love their SALMON TNT!!!! Ugh must try!!!! I super loved also their sangria! I ordered the red sangria and it was the bomb! The service was also superb 😍 Will definitely be back!

Another Spanish restaurant to add to my list that I’d go back to for the following reasons:
1. Ambiance - The front has a dimmed lighting that’s perfect for a more intimate gathering and the back space of the place has a diner vibe with brighter lighting and a big neon signage, a very instagrammable/photo-perfect area. The sounds add to the whole concept of the restaurant which is to serve Spanish-inspired dishes.
2. Food - The bomb!!! Definitely, I loved the Salmon TNT (P595) - an open sandwich with smoked salmon with honey and truffle. The experience when you take a bite is like no other. The flavors coming from the salmon and combining it with the truffle for that creaminess and honey for a touch of sweetness, it just bursts in your mouth!
Another dish that I loved was the Seafood Paella (P895) - Good for 2-3, the winning ticket here is that the rice was cooked perfectly. Sticky and you’d get to taste that the rice absorbed the flavors.
I was not a fan of their Pork Ribs (P450) as find it a bit sweet and their Whole Chicken (priced a little over P1,000) was really juicy and flavorful, perfect for sharing with the gang.
The place being big, they should add more servers to cater promptly to all the needs of the customers.
Since it was my first time here and wanted to try as many dishes as I can, I decided to leave it up to the chef to decide which dishes to serve. For Php1200 per person, they would be serving around seven dishes from appetizer to dessert.
I ended up getting the salmon tnt (smokes salmon with honey and truffle), tuna belly salad, montaditos de gambas, albondigas (homemade meatballs in tomato sauce), chorizo, and arroz meloso (mixed seafood rice). For dessert, I had the bollycao (nutella-filled brioche buns). Everything was superb! It was a great way to try a lot of dishes in just one meal. Kudos to the chef!
Very good!!! Enjoyed: paella valenciana, seafood paella, steak con airbag, Salmon tnt, the Roast chicken, and the dessert sampler. Plus the colorful lively vibran ambience and interiors. We will definitely come back.
I wanted to enjoy my meal here but i found it too hot and noisy. Maybe I was seated in area with oven? The sangria was too watery. The food was alright. Better for a drink with friends then a full meal. But then again it is a tapas bar after all.
The ambience was great for gatherings for both family and friends, but still a good place to have conversations and exchange stories. I love how the interiors had a Spanish touch to it without making it look too stiff.
My favorites in this restaurant are the Filet Air Bags and Salmon Tnt paired with their refreshing Sangria.
The Filet Airbags had a thin layer of beef on top of a pastry filled with oozing cheese! I loved eating this as i LOVE cheese and beef!
The Salmon TNT was a also a winner for me. Fresh and chunky salmon with truffle on top of a thin pastry with cheese and honey filling. Best eaten in one bite for that TNT feeling! This has got to be the best tapas ive tried in my life!
The sangria was a great pairing to the two and filled 8 small glasses.
I ate here with my relatives from the US and they loved it! Will definitely recommend to anyone who wants a chill atmosphere with more sosyal food.
I can't say anything bad. It's perfect for those people who wants to try Spanish Cuisine! This is a place where you can hang out with your friends or even a client meeting. They'll definitely like the food and Interior. Arroz Negro, Salmon TNT and Filete Con Air Bag. Visit my blog galakaen.wordpress.com
A Spanish themed resto that plays loud music. Service was attentive and food was flavorful. Liked their Salmon TNT and Chorizo croquettes, Spinach salad, and Premium Tenderloin Steak. Seafood paella was ok.

Just discovered this place and loved the modern and colorful interior, friendly and accommodating staff, and yummy tapas! There was a very nice lady who I assume is one of the owners who walked around the tables, made sure guests enjoyed their meal, and even got our son some crayons and paper while we were waiting for our food. We went during lunchtime but I think this place would also be perfect for a dinner date with the hubby or night out with the barkada.
For starters we had the Escalivada and Croquetas. Then for the main course we had Gambas, Almondigas, and Paella. My son and I liked the truffle chicken croquetas the best - finely shredded chicken with creamy truffle covered in a nice thin crunchy layer of crumbs. The paella was really tasty and generously covered in perfectly cooked squid and aioli, but the rice could have used a little more cooking time to get a nice crust at the bottom (it took 30 minutes already though).
Gambas Al Ajillo P495 - one of the best I've had! So good we had seconds! I recommend you pair it with the Paella del Txiringuito P895. This paella was prepared exactly how we like - a little tustado and very flavorful! (Just thinking about it makes me want to head on over there!)
Tanigue Tiradito P295 - not so impressive.
We also had the Croquetas Don Julio P375 (not in pictures). Good as a starter!
Nice Spanish place, well decorated, efficient service, the music is to loud. really good food but a little bit pricey. Best prefered chorizo croquettas.
The food was delicious, staff attentive and interiors are modern. However, for their steep prices and small serving sizes, the resto is not value for money.
Have been seeing this spanish inspired resto for quite sometime now as the ambiance from outside looks so good. Truly, upon trying for the first time, it is good. This is a good place to hangout and bond with your friends!
The service is also okay as the servers are attentive enough to meet your needs; however it took so long for the paella to arrive (we have been notified that the waiting time is 30mins tho) but we were so hungry.
Food is great! We ordered the croquetas de chorizo for the starter and it is so good! For the paella, we ordered the squid paella and it is worth the wait! It is savory! The barbeque marinated pork is just okay, but could be better.
Side comment: I think it's quite expensive considering the serving size is just for 2-3 persons, but food is great 👍🏻
