Going Loco Over Taco at El Chupacabra, Polaris Street, Makati City, Philippines

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.

That Grillin' Feelin' at Dona Dona Korean BBQ, Makati Avenue

Saturday night and no idea where to eat dinner. Just had shabu shabu last week so that's out. In the mood for grilling, we settled on trying out the Korean restaurant next door to David's

To Makati Ave we went. 

Dona Dona Korean BBQ, Makati Ave

The road was wet from the early rain but thankfully, there was no traffic. We soon found ourselves at the doorstep of Dona Dona. First impression? We were the only ones there at 7pm. Uh oh. Not a good sign. 




Simple and clean, that was what they were going for. The only decors I saw were these ones, minimal at that.
