There’s a new food hub in Manila inspired by Mexican-Latin cuisine that is set to be the favorite new amigo with its signature chicken and ribs.
Life is too short to not have good food and Gringo, a newly opened restaurant located at SM North EDSA, The Block, serves scrumptious Mexican-Latin cuisine that makes diners feel as if they are on a feast. At Gringo, there’s no such thing as too much food with dishes will take the dining experience to a new level.
Gringo, according to Reagan Tan who is president and CEO of McWilson corporation and the person behind Honeybon Café and Tokyo Bubble Tea – is the friend you wish you had especially since he hosts the best parties and prepare a feast for friends.
Expect a variety of dishes in Gringo when it comes to taste and presentation, because surely, food needs to be Instagram worthy.
For starters, diners can enjoy the lip-smacking Baked Mussels covered in Mozarella – real cheesy goodness – to get their appetites going.
Gringo’s crispy Nacho Grande is everything nice put together in a big platter with a generous amount of serving that can be shared among friends or family. Worth your money and definitely delicioso!
While you’re at it, savor the melt-in-your-mouth ribs glazed with the resto’s own barbeque sauce. This savory, sweet dish comes in half rack, full rack, and ribs muchos.
Gringo’s chicken is one of the most notable dishes on the menu. It comes in Original (covered with Mexican-Latin spices rich in flavors) and Southern Spice in different herbs and spices with a distinct Southern American flavor. This flavorful dish is sure to keep anyone coming back for more. If that’s not enough, it also comes with sides of your own choice like Marbled Potato Salad, Mexican Rice, Okra and many more.
You can also try Gringo’s dishes with any of the sauces like lemon herb that can be used for any dish with different herbs and spices in a citrusy lemon flavor. The sauces also come in Hot and Spicy that will just keep you wanting more.
According to Louise Dizon, marketing manager of Gringo, their dessert, Mango Cream Sticky Rice, is something that diners won’t taste elsewhere. Because of its familiar taste and the mango and glutinous rice, it is often seen by many as very Filipino. However, it is in fact Mexican inspired.
Just like what the name of the restaurant stands for, this place is trendy with its cozy interiors and has a hip and modern feel to it that people of all ages will surely enjoy. The ambience is inviting with a laidback feel and the friendly staff makes it a place for people to enjoy good food and relax.
If you want a good mix of savory, sweet, spicy and everything else in between for a Mexican-Latin cuisine, then Gringo is for you. Food is more fun when shared so call your madre, padre, tio, tia, abuelo, abuela, amigo, amiga or just about anyone – and experience a real Mexican-Latin feast when you visit. Heaven is indeed a place on earth with these delectable dishes.
Gringo is set to open its second branch at The Fort, Bonifacio Global City, Taguig. There are also plans to expand with more branches set to open in SM Megamall and UP Town Center within the year. – Eunice Cabuang
