Escobar's Steakhouse — Restaurant in Quezon City

Food was average. Steak and Angus Beef Belly were okay, nothing special. The gravy could be better. Truffle pasta was overpowered with garlic and pepper taste. Wagyu Cubes and Sausage were okay. We got the Family Set that’s good for 6, the serving size was decent, just enough to fill your tummy, if you’re a group of 6. So if you’re a heavy eater, better to upgrade the set.

Service was good. Friendly and responsive staff. But service time was really really bad, tbh. Orders came in one by one, served a little bit cold already. We waited for 40 minutes to an hour, only to be served barely hot food.

Atmosphere was overstimulating. The place is badly cramped. It’s so small, but they forced to fit a lot of tables, which by the way were really small too, it coud not fit all our orders at once. Since the place was small, the noise was really loud too. On top of that, there was a live singer as well, so it felt like there was so much going on. I would honestly not recommend the place for date nights.

Overall, the dining experience was not bad, but it was not great either. It’s worth what you paid for. Would I come back? Yes, considering it’s affordable. But there are other options for...

Service was great, was very kindly accommodated. It was a bit hot inside and we were there while the live guitarist was rehearsing, so it wasn’t the best atmosphere at first but the performance eventually was great. The aglio olio platter was decent, except for the fact it was overly seasoned with chilli flakes. However, the pasta itself was perfectly cooked. The smoked angus beef belly solo portion was small and underwhelming, but my companion who had it complimented its flavor and doneness. The corn and carrots were a bit under. For the grass-fed ribeye, I had a medium rare and it exceeded my expectations but could’ve been seared better. The sauce was on point though. We loved the house blend iced tea and was honestly the best part of the meal. We decided to add mashed potatoes in the middle of our dinner but once again were met with a very small portion. It was almost like it was simply smeared on the plate. Texture-wise, it was too watery for my taste and rather bland for the flavor component. It did its job as a “palate cleanser” though. All in all, was good to try. Would probably come back to try the other dishes but nevertheless, it was a decent meal with a reasonable...

We enjoyed everything we tried here! Prices are reasonable—for less than ₱2,900, you can already get a 500g USDA Ribeye. They also offer bundles, serve pasta, different appetizers, and the place feels welcoming with a friendly and accommodating crew.

The USDA Ribeye did not disappoint—flavorful and tender even at medium well, with just the right amount of fat. We didn’t even need salt or the sauces they served to enjoy it.

The Angus Beef Belly was a surprise—melt-in-your-mouth, flavorful, and with appetizing aroma. Definitely a must-try!

The Wagyu Cubes are another standout—tender, rich in flavor, and perfect on their own or with rice.

Even the pastas—truffle and aglio olio—were great additions to the meal. But honestly, the meats alone are enough reason to come back.

Note: The place is small with limited seating, so expect a wait of 30 minutes or more during peak hours. The air-conditioning could also be cooler for a more comfortable dining experience. I wouldn’t mind waiting again if it means enjoying their steaks and...
