Affordable. Delicious. Good Service. This place has it all. Make sure to come in early because this place is always packed. Beef Nachos and their Soft Tacos are the Best.

Silantro's original branch. They are also located at Alabang Town Center, Solenad Nuvali, and Tagaytay HITS: Cheesy beef nachos never fails skewers, shrimp and beef Quesadillas Cilantro sauce is a gem Good service MISS: Prepare yourself for long queues during dinner time Paella is a little bit salty for my taste

Did not expect much because of its simple interiors but was quite surprised that the place was very busy on a Sunday afternoon. Loved their burrito! Incredibly tasty and very filling. And glad that they didn't scrimp on beef and cheese on their nachos! Prices were very reasonable and dishes were hella good!

There's always a line out there during peak hours so its best to go when its not. It may be quite a wait but its well worth it. Had the beef burrito and loved it especially the rice in it! Although the nachos could have a bit more "laman" within it rather than just the top of it.

My brother and I had the chance to try Silantro in Kapitolyo! Silantro is Fil-Mex Cantina and, yes, they sprinkle Cilantro on ALL of their dishes. The place always has a long line every time we pass by. Imagine our surprise when, even on a Monday, the place was packed! We ordered Silantro's Calliente Wings (Php170, 3.7USD) for our starter. Their Lucha Tacos is one of their best-sellers. We had the Medio which offers double choice of meat in 2 taco shells (option for soft or hard shell, we went for the the soft shell) for only Php95 (2USD)! We ordered the lengua and lamb. For the adventurous, there is ox stripe. But, they also have chicken and beef for those who want to play it safe. Go for the lengua, really good! I also had a Mojito (Php90, 1.9USD), one glass was definitely not enough. The only thing we didn't like about Silantro was their service. It took them quite a long time to serve our food. But, even with the waiting time, the food is worth it. I'm going back to this place with my friends. Next time, I'll be ordering their Unli Mojito! :)

Definitely one of the most unique takes on Mexican I've been fortunate enough to try, which is saying a lot since I was born and raised in the U.S. Arguably one of the most popular food stops in Kapitolyo, I've been about 3 times and it's never disappointed. The prices are an extremely good value for both the quality and quantity of food you get. Couple that with a nice and chill atmosphere and amazing service, and you have an awesome dining experience. And we haven't even gotten to the food yet! The food is amazing. There's no overt Filipino-Mexican fusion, but the seasoning and braising of the beef, the slight sweetness there with the savory in the nachos and tacos, and the abundance of garlic in everything all remind you of a pinoy palate. I highly suggest the burritos for sharing alongside the Silantro quesadilla and the nachos. Definitely get the nachos! Easily my favorite Mexican food in Metro Manila.

I used to have a Silantro habit. As soon as they open or a little bit after everyone has gone back to work after their lunch break, that's when I hit the attack button to head out to Kapitolyo. I also like how it is during the day. No lines, less busy and the food is served within ten minutes! I would often tag my cousin along with me to Silantro. And for the Silantro Quesadilla (P160) and Pancholon's Burger (P160) we were already full. And we even share, okay! For the price of their meals, you'd think they'd scrimp on the servings but they don't! You either leave full or you have a take-home bag with you. Silantro has become everyone's favourite place for a Fil-Mex fix. If you come on a Friday night, you're in for a long wait. And people are really willing to wait. Other dishes on the menu to try are: Beef Nachos (P180), Silantro's Burrito (P180) and the Lucha Tacos with your choice of Ligero (75), Medio (P95) or Completo (P110). Mmmm.. Also, for the dip-loving-and-salsa-loving-almost-have-your-food-swim-in-their-sauces, you can have as much of these as you like. They're unlimited! Yes, guys! Help yourself to a guacamole, salsa, hot sauce and Silantro sauce all-you-can at Silantro!

I know a place is going to be my best friend when I take my nieces and nephews there and they like the food. Fortunately, this was the case last week when I took my nine-year-old niece there. As all mothers (and doting aunts) may know, feeding children can be difficult, and I was nervous that dinner that night was going to be another battle. I had patronized Silantro before and never miss the opportunity to order their nachos. They are SERIOUSLY the best nachos in town, and they're really cheap too! One serving can serve at least three people. The nachos are loaded with meat, cheese, and spices. If there's anything I can say about this restaurant, it's that they don't skimp on the meat. That's true even for the other dishes. The best thing about the nachos is that my niece loved them! We finished about two thirds of it, and we're not exactly hefty eaters. We also ordered quesadillas, which I liked enough. They come with very well-seasoned fries. To be honest, I do think they go a little overboard with the cheese here. You can barely see the bread, but if you're a fan of gooey cheese and not much else, you're going to love this dish. Their iced tea is also really good. I don't usually go bottomless with my juices, but I didn't mind the extra cash-out for this one.

In general, I like the flavor of cilantro otherwise known locally as wansuy. So imagine my glee when a restaurant bearing such name opened nearby. We tried the Beef Nachos and the Caliente Wings. We initially thought it would be a let-down and may be one of those run-of-the-mill, fast food nachos. We were wrong. It had enough chunks of beef, guacamole sauce and mozzarela cheese. Definitely worth it at P160. The wings were also very good. At P170, you get 5 pcs wings, drizzled with guacamole sauce and topped with lettuce. The fresh dalandan juice was indeed refreshing. Though their mojitos could use more ice, both are a steal at P90. They also offer drink-all-you-can mojitos and discounted prices on beer for happy hour, which we took a swing at of course. When we were there, the customers at the table beside ours ordered a burrito and quesadillas, and man did those playes look good! Definitely going back!

I haven't tried a lot of Mexican food places in Manila but ohhhmygoodness Silantro may very well be the best of them. Their food is just so good! Don't let the small, busy location and crazy waiting times put you off because that just means it really is worth it. I suggest going at 11-ish in the morning to beat the lunch rush, and avoid Sunday evenings since it's near the Holy Family Parish and lots of churchgoers eat there after mass. The Beef Nachos and the Beef Quesadillas are my absolute favorites from there. Don't let the fact that they're under "Appetizers" in the menu fool you because the serving size is definitely for sharing and it's jam packed with so much goodness that you can get quite full on appetizers alone. The nachos are overloaded with both salsa and guac and an (almost) absurd amount of cheese. I also really like their Paella Fajita Mix because they don't skimp on the seafood.
