Chicharon bulaklak
Allen D.

The food was great! Service is good. The ambience is very traditiona Filipinol. We ordered chicharon bulaklak for our appetizer, bbq liempo (ate it before taking a pic), seafood kare kare and adobo fried rice. Washed it all down w calamans Juice with honey. (So good!) Portions are pretty big. We hardly made a dent in our order.

Chicken Sisig

Quick 1-minute walk from the Two Seasons Bayside Hotel. Come here if you're looking for an authentic experience. Small hole in the wall. Food is great here, staff is friendly and service is quick! Got food in 20 minutes. Hubby & I got the beef kare kare, chicken sisig and plain white rice. The kare kare was delicious and was peanut buttery goodness! The chicken sisig was a surprise but also really good as well! I'm used to chicken sisig that has shredded chicken in it and is more like a Filipino chicken salad. The chicken sisig at Santino's has small chunks of chicken sautéed in a sweet lime chili sauce. Highly recommend this place! I'm still dreaming of it! Disclaimer: hubs and I love animals so we didn't mind the dogs and cats walking through. Loosen up. Just adds to the whole cultural experience!

Nice huts

Excellent first meal in Coron! We took a couple tricycles from our hotel to Santino's Grill. Our guide recommended this place and it did not disappoint. I realized later that this place is known for it's delicious ribs. I have seen reviews on trip adviser and google but none on yelp yet. SO HERE I GO... Ambiance: You wouldn't notice this place from the street but once you enter, the wooden tables, wooden bar, and straw roofing will immediately give you the island vibes! It's very casual and relaxed. FOOD: Came here with a group of 8. We ordered a variety of items to pass around and share. -We started with their soup. I can't remember which soup it was...it might have been some type of sinigang with vegetables but it was flavored well! -I highly recommend their sisig! They serve it on a sizzling plate and it has the perfect amount of spice with a unique sauce that makes the flavor unique to Santino's grill. - The squid which was also served on a sizzling plate was also very delicios. - I also ordered the fish and chips. Fish was fresh and I really enjoyed the batter they used. However, it could use a little bit more fish. - Their Bistik tagalog was good but I have had better. - I also recommend their beef ribs. The meat falls off the bones just right! The BBQ sauce they provide is also very yummy! - We didn't order any alcohol but this place definitely seems like a fun place to enjoy a drink or two! - YOU CANNOT GO WRONG WITH THEIR MANGO SHAKE STAFF: Staff are very friendly and polite. Service was good. The food took a while but that is because they are actually cooking the food and it is made fresh! OVERALL, I really enjoyed my meal here. I recommend this restaurant for the food and experience. Unfortunately, a few of the items we wanted to try were sold that day. I am not sure when I will be able to visit again, but I would love to try more items from their menu!

This place was good. The service wasn't the best but the crab and ribs are a great choice. If we go back we will eat here again.

2nd time around, still needing to flag down staff since no one is assigned to tables, staff don't…read morecommunicate. Live band playing was great except it was so loud you couldn't even hear the person sitting in front of you. Since last time they finished remodeling and now have a bar, which you can't sit at but alcohol is display. STAFF DO NOT COMMUNICATE - bar only know what's going on there, waitress has no idea what is going on with our orders or the kitchen! Nor did they know what they had on hand or if things were available. Yes this place is known but - why bother? I guess only if you're going for lobster but there are many other places that will do better. Ordered a large amount of food: Food came out in the most random order soups, oysters, noodles and Shanghai near the end of dinner way through our meal the rice came after having to be flagged down 2x and still not bringing the correct order. Oysters were dry and grilled to dried tidbits, with only calamansi since we didn't want cheese. Beef steak - I have never had beefsteak that tasted like chocolate and banana ketchup. I had to spit it out. Sizzling pusit - never came out the waitress said we didn't order it when it was written on the order tab they they whited out Calamares - didn't come out and they again denied it and whited it out on the order receipt Kinilaw was good, very citrusy and didn't taste fishy. Clam soup mediocre and luke warm Garlic butter shrimp was overcooked. Sinigang mainly consisted of fat and was luke warm did not have enough tamarind base to even call it sinigang. Banana and mango shakes - carried the meal! The waitress was horrible, even when speaking in the dialect she had no idea what was going on. Seriously don't waste your time or money here.

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.

You have to put down a 50% deposit on the morning of the day you plan to have your dinner there. They go into the market in coron to buy all the ingredients fresh, and then they cook it right before you get there for your reservation. I wish I had known that before we went the first night. Their menu looked good so we decided to eat ala carte and then come back the next night for the boodle fight. Both meals were delicious. The bartender/hostess that night was amazing. She was really nice and accommodating. Unfortunately, I didn't get her name, but she was working the night of 11/27/2019. She was great!

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.

This place has a tropical feel to it with lots of potted plants, wispy white curtains and hanging…read moreshell decor. 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.

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.

I recognize the place based on the picture. It's name actually is Sinugba sa Balay…read more My family had dinner here 2 nights ago. We ordered tuna sisig, grilled liempo, and home-made noodles (chicken and seafood). We are not expecting much because Coron is still blooming. Food was served quick. Taste is average. I didn't really like the fact that our food is served cold. Steamed rice and garlic rice are both cold. The liempo is not freshly grilled obviously as it is served warm. Home-made noodles, both chicken and seafood, are stiff. Tuna sisig is too finely chopped that you cannot even distinguish the tuna. If you love tuna as much as I do, you will know how to differentiate fresh from not. Customer service is bad as well. There's seven of us, five of which ordered calamansi juice and mango juice. My mom is craving something colder as we just came down from Mt. Tapyas and she wants to cool off. As a courtesy, we let our server know. (There's no sign that states outside food and beverage is not allowed.) They said it is not permissible and if we do so, there will be an extra charge. The server also mentioned something about them not being liable if we get a tummy ache. I told them that they are not responsible for the me getting a stomach ache from the food they were about to serve, so much more for a beverage from another vendor. This is a dumb argument so I let it go. Besides, I already ordered food so I don't much of a choice but to stay. Lastly, they charge an additional Php 10 if you would like a to-go box. Overall, my family did not have a good experience in this place. I recommend you go to the next door grill, Carl's BBQ where ambience if better. Or ride a trike and eat at Lolo Nonoy's where deep fried danggit is a win!
