Buen Comer is, right from the get-go, a pretty hip and funky restaurant. The Tex-Mex food is tasty and made interesting with some novel fare thrown into the mix, such as the Caesar Salad Burritto and the nachos (that are actually potato chips made in-house!) I appreciated the variety on the menu, the friendliness of the staff, and the initiative to segregate waste (I just wish diners would follow through.)
It's an open-air restaurant, though, so be warned that there is no air-con and definitely a few smokers outside the restaurant. I haven't explored it yet but I believe there's an option to dine in an air-conditioned room right beside the main restaurant, so that's something you can avail of if you want to avoid the smoke and enjoy some air-conditioned privacy.
A convenience store (owned by the same people who own Buen Comer!) is nearby, so you can purchase your drinks from there.
Overall, I can say that because of its delicious food, accommodating staff, and waste segregation initiative, Buen Comer is definitely a good place to dine with friends...
Read moreI had a great experience at Buen Comer Poquellas. I had their signature Kare Kare Burrito. I was unaware of what Kare Kare was and the cashier patiently explained the contents of the burrito to me. I ordered just the burrito and it came in a relatively timely fashion. The burrito itself was extremely flavorful and delicious, and came with some sauces that complemented the burrito perfectly. I found myself finishing all the sauces and the burrito and still wanting more. The pork in the burrito was well seasoned, with crunchy pork skin and a great bite to the pork. In terms of decor, the indoor space resembles a shed of sorts, but is quite clean and with a toilet and place to wash your hands. Fans are set up across the restaurant for a less hot dining experience. Interestingly, there was an area to put away rubbish after you are done eating, in a somewhat Japanese style. Buen Comer Poquellas has been one of my favourite dining experiences in...
Read moreGreat value for money. Even though the place is packed, your food will be served in 5 to 7 minutes because the kitchen staff works the train efficiently. You can also see how it is made. They have a washing area and toilet and parking is limited. It’s street parking only. Park at your own risk. They are not open daily too. I took photos of the menu and their Facebook page. I ordered the chicken burrito and chicken Caesar wrap. They serve it wrapped in foil either you order for dine in or to go. The 3 sauces are helpful to the palette too. Comparing it to Taco Bell in PHL, I think the size of their burrito is twice of Taco Bell or one and a half. The chicken slices were plenty too. Did not order drinks and I don’t think it was part of the menu but there is a sari-sari store beside who sells beverages. I think you can bring them in and give it back when you’re done. The place has no...
