TITO REX’s DINE & CHILL — Restaurant in Marikina

Review dated 03 17 22. Wooden chairs and tables fill the deep narrow eating area of this branch. Fans dot the walls which are decorated with pictures of food and prices. Actually been here long before the pandemic. Surprisingly their prices have remained mostly unchanged and the food has remained hot and tasty. That's why I gave them 4 stars. The place is warm or hot depending on the time of day despite the fans. When you enter you can pick a table where a pitcher of water will usually be waiting. You have a lot of different dishes to choose from. Their specialty is their bulalo which is alway out of stock and their goto which if you do not like heaps of fried garlic and green onions in your bowl be sure to tell the waitress when you order. Their steaks are not bad. I have tried most of their their breakfast meals and they are reasonably good and inexpensive. The corned beef is especially good. Not the canned variety. The beef tapa and bagnet is ok. The sizzling sisig solo is fine too. And when you order the spam it is a spam luncheon meat and not a substitute. Service is fast and the speed at which your meal arrives depends on how crowded the place is. No wifi. Cash only. Limited parking. There's space for only 3 cars. Oh, meals come with a small bowl of soup so ask for it. And sometimes the cashier is a little spaced out so check your change...

I love Eating at Tito Rex but the experience in this branch is different.

I've tried eating at other branches like at Fairlane and Sumulong Highway but I am disappointed in this branch.

I've ordered Tuna Belly for my dinner but the taste was far different from the taste I know. It was salty and it taste burned.

They also served 1 litre of Iced Tea for me instead of one glass only, in which they told me they don't have one serving. I was confused.

I suggest to double check the serving of this dish because its one of the known signature of Tito Rex, only in this branch that...

Their food is better than others. Service speed is above average compared to others as well. The place is also well lit at night.

I usually order tapsilog here. I tried their goto, it's okay. Steaks are also good. The only thing I was unimpressed was the atay in the sisig. I don't eat atay, but not going to take it against them if that's the way they cook their sisig.

Issue would be parking. Sometimes you need to park a block away since parking spaces near the restau are all occupied by diners and residents.

Oh yeah, did I mention their calumpit longganisa...
