Central Grill — Restaurant in Angeles

"Tita" Ottei's Central Grill in Crossing, Angeles is one of my family's favorite bonding spots. Their food is great. Their staff are all accommodating. The place is always full specially during the weekends. Families and friends get-together with food and drinks. We had: 🌮 Taco Salad - my son and Dad's favorite appetizer. This is what we typically call nachos. Own nachos are uniquely topped with greens, tomatoes, bell peppers, ground pork, cheese and drizzled with their very own sauce. 🍚 Special Fried Rice - can be ordered for 2, 3-4, or 5-6 people. The rice is sautéed with diced meat beaten eggs and garnishes. I can eat this without viand. It is that GOOD! 🐙 Spicy Squid with Tofu - our new fave. It's spice level can be handled even by those who does not a tongue for chili dishes. 🍤 Shrimp with Thai Sauce - Oh my goodness! 5 big shrimps tossed in sweet and sour Thai sauce. Will just make you lick your plate clean 😋 🍗 Fried Chicken - offered half or whole order. We had fresh buco juice to drink, pops finished a bucket of iced-cold San Mig Light 🤭 Each served dish is good for 2 to 3 persons.

You can always come by and enjoy. Experience their greatness as a whole. They have a huge function halls, if you want to have more intimate or closed family gathering. Their set-up is pandemic ready, al fresco.

Gives me good taste Baguio vibes for some reason.

The tropical chicken was too bland for me.

The patatim was good. Not too tender and the portion was really generous compared to other restaurants.

The special rice was the highlight in my opinion. The portions were really generous.

Ac area gets crowded.

They've got parking but street parking is also available.

Service was too slow. It was a Sunday night and there were heaps of people. Two birthday celebrations.

Edit: I got something I lost there even after a couple of days. Very...

The food and ambiance is great! The waiters are very accommodating and easy to call their attention. The food are really delicious, you really get what you paid for. The beers are below zero when served. If its not cold anymore, you can ask for ice or have it replaced as long as its still unopened.

Update: We ate here again on August 21, 2021. We ordered lechon kawali kare kare and lomi. Never disappointed us with the taste. Although the lomi didn't have any noodles, but it was full of bits of chicken, cabbage...
