While waiting for our coffee date with our friends, we decided to try out the taco haven hidden in one of the side streets of Makati.
Welcome to El Chupacabra.
First impression? All your senses will definitely hit overdrive once you step in. They weren't lying about the "street tacos" part. Their al fresco area is literally on the street; passing cars were just inches away from your reach. But what was more surprising was the fact that even with all that, it was a full house. People were happily chugging down beers & tacos with not a care in the world. Now that was truly something else.
Ohh and have I mentioned that they do the grilling out on the street???
We were one of the lucky ones to get a place inside; just be ready to kiss elbows with strangers since the inside was definitely as crowded as the outside. And non-stop bumping from the servers while maneuvering in between tables were a frequent sight & felt. Sigh.
After looking at their menu, we decided to try 3 of their tacos & 1 stick each of the barbecue.
Here's a table shot of our food. Excuse the bad picture, it was really hard to find good lighting inside.
