Tucked away near the red light district, blink and you might miss this restaurant. Amazing mexican food - try the chilli con carne and the quesadilla. I haven't found a restaurant in manila that serves better mexican food!

Walking into Iguana’s you will immediately smell the chili powder fragrance reminiscent of 1960’s era Mexican restaurants for gringos in the states. This will be what your nose experiences throughout your meal here, no matter what you order. It permeates the salsa, tacos, burritos, enchiladas etc. It will also be about all you will taste while here, and you will...

I have been eating at Zapata's for years ... I began when it was in its' original location about a mile closer to town than it is now. At the time, the name of the restaurant was Zapata's and there was lots of history printed about the name Zapata.
When they moved to their new (bigger) location (further from my...

I haven't been by here for quite awhile. Stopped in with the family and some students to check it out. The students are from Japan, so don't know Mexican.

Zapata used to serve great Mexican food but ever since they changed their trade name, the food just deteriorated. It was probably sold to a new owner.
One of my favorite restaurants in town. GREAT Mexican food (this is from an American who grew up in a Mexican neighborhood). Prices are great. The staff is always so friendly and remember me if even it's been months since I've been there. Tasty daiquiris too. Some tryke drivers don't know where it is. It is almost to Friendship Gate...

The mexican food in angeles is limited. But for a nice rumrita it is the best. We had the enchilatas, tacos and caninitas. All were good. The refried beans suck which is usual for the Philippines.
Food is "okay" This place used to serve the best mexican food in town but not anymore. If you are just ready to chow down and craving mexican meal. The by all means try it out for yourself. Food is still good... Not "yum delicious good ok" You be the judge! Give it a try.
You probably wouldnt expect Mexican food like this in the Phils but dont forget the Spanish had this place for 200 yrs. Its exceptional.
Service, Food taste, portion and presentation all 5 star. has to be the best Mexican food in the Philippines and great Margaritas. WOW
