I was immediately seated. and a menu brought. Not knowing what to order I asked the server and ordered what they suggested. They were quick to tell me that it would take at least half an hour to get my order. This was fine as I really did not have anywhere too be. The service was actually much prompter that half hour. The food was good and I wanted something extra so i ordered a chicken strip on a stick. This was also good. If in the area this is definitely a place to try.

No sign or business name outside so we guessed where to walk in. Not the most amazing of decor but…read morethat could've been due to plastic sheets for recent rains. Hostess wasn't the happiest of staff but that's ok. She was very attentive and helpful. Plenty of other staff around as well. Outdoor covered seating which meant fans as only air blowing. Ordered full rack of pork ribs, Tanigue Kinilaw and seafood carbonara. All very very good. Ribs came connected with the vertebrae bone or something so we couldn't separate the ribs. Ask the kitchen to cut the ribs for us and they still could not. Kinda funny but we dug in. Also ordered ube nangka turon with cheese ice cream. Some items on menu not available but we found other good choices. Now, if bugs are not your thing... This might not be the place for you. Wood beetles in our table. Skeeters around that they even lit up coils bad we sat down. A couple ants crawling around our plates but that's protein for you. Not the most comfortable of environments but the food was great.

This restaurant is a hidden gem. The restaurant was clean and electric fam on and working well. We arrived at this restaurant before the dinner crowd. We had no ideas what to order until we received the menu. We ordered seaweed salad, grilled squid, fried tuna tail, pork belly, garlic rice,and bagoong meat with egg plant. We did over order. The food was authentic, great service and the food tasted very good. I highly recommend this restaurant. Just remember I do suggest reservations if coming to dinner. When I return to Coron- I will come back to this restaurant.

We stumbled onto this spot while searching for a lunch venue. When we got in we saw that they had…read moreplenty of seafood options, which is what we were craving. We were directed to a nipa hut for seating and offered menus immediately. No AC but we did have a fan in our hut that was helpful in circulating air in the section. We ordered one of the seafood platters, fried chicken with fries, kang kong with garlic, mushrooms, long silog, a fresh buko juice, and a few soft drinks-Coke, Sprite, bottled water. The food came out almost immediately (the long silog was the last to come out). The fried chicken (by photo had 4 pieces and fries) was only 3 pieces with fries. Pretty tasty and definitely different from fried chicken back home. The kang kong was really good, especially with extra amounts of garlic. Same with the mushrooms, although I ate around the green chiles since I don't really do spice. I did like the platter of seafood--delicious fish, 2 clams were pretty good with seasoning, 6 shrimp with garlic, and small amount of kang kong with some garlic. Honestly, the platter was more appropriate to feed 2 to even 3 people (if that). The long silog came and was as expected with the rice, egg, 2 links of longganisa and some fresh fruit. The fresh buko was huge with a lot of coconut juice and meat inside. It came with a spoon and straw to sip out juice/scoop out meat. The presentation was amazing, but I felt like you were paying more for the look and less for the food portions. Service was also a bit sporadic. They were pretty attentive up until we got the food but I feel like they were under staffed for the amount of people in the venue. Also note that you have to use a tabo for hand washing and using the toilet. No running water here. The toilets and handwash area are located at the back of the restaurant and a hand wash sink area set up more central to the restaurant When checking out at the front, we were given the option of cash or charge. If you do charge, it is a 10% service fee.

Many seating options for you to choose from: traditional tables and chairs, low tables where you can sit on the floor, or a nipa hut style booth. No aircon but the fans are sufficient in the morning or at night when it's cooler. We felt adventurous, so we tried: - Crocodile sisig - Meat was ground up, couldn't really appreciate the crocodile meat's taste and texture. It would be better if meat was cut up into chunks instead. - Bird's Nest Soup - made from nests collected locally. This was a tasty soup, similar in texture and taste to a Chinese egg drop soup. - Sizzling Garlic Kangkong - tasty - Ensaladang Lato (Seaweed salad) - think of popping boba from the sea. - Roasted chicken - ok - Lechon Kawali - hard to chew - Sinigang na isda - ok - Complimentary fish or shrimp crackers - crunchy and tasty. Friendly accommodating staff, relaxing atmosphere with piano music playing in the background, and Island cats lounging under the tables waiting for your scraps: it's a solid place to have a meal.

Good place for seafood [CORON, PALAWAN Philippines]…read more I don't usually eat 3 full meals a day plus snacking in between (we call it "'merienda") but it's so hard to be disciplined on a diet when surrounded by good food. This is another seafood place we dined in that is closer to our hotel resort. We ordered mostly seafood items here. We picked a couple of live mud crabs from their tank and chose the butter garlic flavor and steamed with garlic. We also ordered pork BBQ, lechon kawali (deep-fried pork belly), nilaga (a comfort food which is stew w/ meat and veggies), and calamansi juice all around. Mom was having a feast the most... she loves crabs. Everything was good. Service was better here as the waiter checked on us during our entire meal. Not a quiet place to have conversations though because of the live band. The only time it got quiet was when the entertainment went on a short intermission LoL! 3.5 Stars. Review #3363

First off all, the service is too slow like super slow. We ended up canceling our two orders due to…read morethey r so slow we were almost done the last two order are still not served. Mind you we were the second guest to arrive the first guest they were just two people. We waited atleast 30mins for the first dish to be served then 5-10mins waiting for the next. Second, The lady server was 0 customer service she looks so pissed serving us, the moment we arrived. She said the platter were 2-3people serving, but in reality its just 1-2 person per plate. Lastly, the Most "Scam" why? We ordered 3 plates of shrimps, it was mostly Head Shrimps the number of head shrimps and the number of shrimp tail are not equal. like 12 heads I counted but only 6pcs of tails.! the worst part they gave us 2 plates and the server said, the cooked mistakenly combined the 2plates order in one plate. So thats already total of 3. We felt scammed like they have the same amount. What was our assurance for their statement. That was over for us. We did not argue we just want to finish our food and leave. For all the tourists visiting, Beware! we Highly NOT RECOMMEND this place! But if you want to risk it go ahead, go waste your time and money . In end you'll end up unsatisfied.

They are located right on the beach in Central El Nido on Rizal Street. Unlike other "Filipino" restaurants around town, you will actually see local Filipino families dining in. That's how you know it's legit! We visited twice while in El Nido. The 1st time around, we pointed at the fresh seafood outside to have it grilled up and served to us upstairs some time later. I had a Unicorn Fish, a sweet, slightly briny white fish native to El Nido. My friend had a fresh Yellowtail and we also opted for the biggest should-be lobster prawn they had. So delicious. The 2nd visit, we watched the sunset from a window side table as a close to our island hopping tours. On said visit, we ordered Sizzling Pork Sisig, Beef Kaldereta, and Crispy Pata. Each dish was absolutely ginormous and automatically comes with rice. The ultimate best value on the island! Yes, dishes such as Crispy Pata and Sisig are on the fluffier/ fattier side but that's what makes it GOOD. Beef Kaldereta was saucier than I am accustomed but I engorged myself in its richness. Keep in mind, dishes are 250-350 PHP but are served as family style portions. Service was hit or miss at least when it came to getting the bill, but you really gotta raise your hand and yell at them -- it is the way, the Filipino way! They are also more likely to cater to the locals first which may contribute to a wait, but with such a beautiful view in paradise and the bustling of the restaurant teeming with people watching opportunities including some adings coming around selling home-made pastillas de leche, there is just so much to distract while you wait the some times 20-30 minutes for your food.

Ok, now stop... this is what happens when tourism starts taking the wheel of the economy…read more Restaurants like this one here gets birthed and becomes an integral part of the tourist system. It has all the signs and symptoms of a tourist trap, BUT it doesn't have to come with bad food. The food here is very good. In all actuality, the food here is pretty much chef inspired. It's delicious and it's calibrated to cater to the foreign toungue. Why wouldn't you order the seafood here? Look around you! 360° of ocean water. NO JOKE! Three things that jumped out and spoke to me was the Kilawin (filipino version of cevice), sea grape salad, and the Prawns (shrimp on steroids) La Serenita style. Let's talk about the Prawns La Sirenetta. I don't know who did the sauce, but it's mouth smashingly exquisite! Strong garlicky note with creamy coconut white wine sauce is truly out of this world. The sea grapes are a local thing with a western twist. I'm used to just eating this tossed with just tomatoes. The western twist with the vinaigrette is different, but it works. The tuna chunks,,, if you like sashime, you'll love this dish. Don't bother ordering the sea grapes and the tuna chunks if you're the chicken fingers and potato sticks type of person. Trust me, your tastebuds are too ignorant for that sort of thing. We came for a late lunch just because I knew what kind of view we're dealing with. A few drinks after the meal to pass the time up until sunset is fitting for this location. La Sirenetta is definitely not just a tourist trap, it's a Landmark not to be missed here in Coron. Thank you very much La Sirenetta for an awesome experience. You keep doing your thing, because you definitely have the most stunning setting in all of Coron.

It includes congee (arroz caldo), rice, usually a breakfast meat like longanisa or tapa, cereals, breads, salad, dessert etc. Aside from breakfast we also ate dinner here every night. We tried out a bunch of stuff from their menu like Kare kare, Crab, Adobong Pusit, Carbonara etc. My favorite was the Kare Kare the first time I ordered it, they included crushed peanuts in the recipe. The second time I ordered it, it didn't have any peanuts. I guess they have different recipes depending on who's cooking back there. They share a bar with the pool so all their cocktails are made there. I ordered pina coladas and strawberry daiquiris. Just FYI they use real fruit when they make cocktails which isn't a bad thing but if you're used to the way cocktails are made in the U.S. it does taste different and not as sweet. Overall, a pretty good restaurant. Everything we ordered tasted good and service was also nice.
