AC Rumpa Restaurant — Restaurant in Angeles

It is mainly for nostalgia that we searched out RUMPA. We frequented the old location back in the days. The spare ribs has retained the original taste but the meat was not as tender fall off the bones like in the years past. We loved eating extra large portions and fall of the bones meat with the bottomless ice teas. Ice tea with the same great taste formula. The tacos were ok. It just looks sad, the new location in AC lost the character that the balibago branch had. After all, they don’t just call it Retired Us Military Personnel Assoc (rumpa)for nothing. Like almost everything else in the Philippines, old doesnt mean decrepit and run down, new is not always better. I wish we could learn from the European, retain the character and dont...

So disappointing. The only good food here is their spareribs but the vegetables that comes with it is also very underwhelming. We ordered porterhouse and asked for medium rare. It was well done, very chewy. Most disappointed with the nachos with dip. Didn’t have any beef or veggies, it’s just plain chips served with cheese dip. The chips were also not crunchy almost chewy, seemed like it was just out in the open air waiting to be served. Takeout of cheese dip was put in plain plastic bag like it was from a carinderia. With it being a restaurant you would atleast expect that they’d put it in a small plastic cup. Service people looked like they’re allergic to customers, did not feel very welcoming at all. Will only come back for...

All-in-all food was just okay. Not that you would actually crave for it.

We ordered the following:

Chicken Cordon Bleu - 3/5 This was my order because I love Chicken Cordon Blue. Chicken was juicy but it lacked the flavor I was looking for. Cravings NOT satisfied.

Roast Beef - 3/5 Mom's order. Nothing special. Mom said, her roast beef was tastier. But meat was tender though.

Porterhouse - 3/5 Hubby said pwede na if gutom haha.

Iced Tea - 3/5 Consistent pasang-awa ang ratings.

Hope they could improve their food. Because we always used to dine here before. Ano...
