Right after we visited the Barasoain Church, we search through google what was the MUST go-to place in Malolos, Bulacan and this awesome Resto (Kalye Mabini) was on the Top list. Not knowing what to expect but we trust our instincts, drove over, and dine in.
The whole place was very cosy with chill vibes. There were even nice cookbooks to entertain while waiting for our food. First off, we ordered the Waldorf Salad which was very refreshing for starters, then for our main dishes, we ordered the FAMOUS back ribs with garlic parmesan chicken, carbonara, coleslaw and java rice. Pork Belly with soy chicken wings, Pesto Pasta, and Garlic Rice. Lastly Beef Sam G The Back Ribs was very succulent to which was a the perfect combination with the Java Rice, also compliments every flavour of the back ribs the coleslaw. As for the pork belly, it was also mouthwatering, tender, and juicy that also compliments the delicious mashed potatoes with gravy. The Pesto Pasta was very on point with it's flavour paired with bread. for the third dish, the Beef Sam G was a savoury plate. We meet the owner, Mr. Jerome Mina, he was very accommodating, fair-spoken, and friendly person. As well as his staff. We will certainly go back to Kalye...
Read moreKalye Mabini is conveniently located beside MacArthur Highway, making it easily accessible to the public. However, it's important to note that they do not have a dedicated parking space, so you'll need to park at your own risk.

The dining area on the second floor is spacious, capable of hosting up to 50 people. However, the interior design leaves much to be desired and could benefit from a redesign to better align with a cohesive theme.
In summary, Kalye Mabini offers a mixed experience with its fantastic ribs and convenient location, but improvements in their payment options, parking, and interior design could enhance the overall...
Read moreAmbience: Space is very limited for both parking and dine-in, but luckily we were able to park at their driveway. It looks like only 2-3 cars can park near the establishment including the space we got. Interior looked tight but it was really cozy inside.
Food: We tried "A Taste of Everything" because we were on a food trip trying as much as we could. The ribs, chicken, and porterhouse steak were my top three tastes but the sides were so-so. I wish we ordered more ribs.
Cucumber Lemonade was refreshing but looked like the powder kind you can mix at home.
Service: They did pretty well from taking our orders accurately to providing reasonable waiting time...
