TJ’s Tijuana Mexican Grill

June 28th, 2010

Leave it to my dear friend Malu Gamboa to sniff out one of the best Mexican cantinas we have in the metropolis! After our Legally Blonde show we all were famished! Malu loves Mexican food! So I really trust her when it comes to this cuisine. The place was really close to the Ortigas area and we gave it a go.

Looking at this just makes me hungry!

The place is called TJ’s Tijuana Mexican grill! It is a quaint little place located in a corner of the City Golf Plaza ( weird name?! LOL!) Our waiter was one of the best that I have ever experienced. Well informed, gracious and quite charming. A rarity now a days! Come to think of it, the entire staff was pretty good! We Pinoys have the best smiles!

The quaint interiors! They open late till 3am!

We ordered immediately! Some Nachos, Burito’s ,chicken tenders and a fish taco! Then we had some lovely frozen margaritas to go with the meal! The meal arrived within minutes! Everything was excellent except for the Chicken Tenders which were drenched with fat and the oil oozing out of the basket! NOT PRETTY!

: Nix ready to dive in! LOL!

: Our lovely Margaritas

: Cheers!

The rest of the meal was wonderful and we all really enjoyed it! The waiter gave us extra nachos to boot! I love this place because when Nix’s margarita was not to his liking the waiter changed it immediately without hesitation. You don’t get that in Manila too often. Making this place a winner to me! If you’re all looking for your Mexican fix then head on over to TJ’s. I hear they have a branch in Makati, but I forgot the area.

This was a bit hard to eat! Double fried chicken skin with a ton of oil! Avoid this at all cost if you wish to live longer! LOL! I am sure it tastes great but it will clog up your arteries big time!
