Tito Chef Gourmet House — Restaurant in Santa Rosa

Here’s yet another budding eatery around the lively city of Santa Rosa. While its rustic motif seems fragmentary from the get-go, you’ll eventually find yourself wanting to go back because of their immaculate meals.

This café’s just a one-minute walk from our place, and I’m thankful that restos such as Tito Chef is within reach. I don’t need to go to SM Sta. Rosa or any similar restos with palatable dishes.

Pros:

✔️ FRIENDLY, FRIENDLY STAFF. Once you enter the gourmet house, you’ll be greeted with polite staff. Commendable customer service indeed. ✔️ Food’s relatively cheap. For as low as 129 PHP, you may buy a flavorful bowl meal with tasty toppings.

Cons: ❌ No WiFi. Listed this as a con as the vibe here is ideal for working remotely. ❌ Their coffee selections aren’t the best. In fact, they offer the worst coffee drinks around the area. The flavor of ice overpowers the taste of their iced coffees, making them less delicious. I also remember sending a complaint upon seeing floating dead ants on my french vanilla mocha; however I was awed by their swift response and told me that my next coffee drink purchase’s on them.

Must-trys:

✅ Salt & Pepper Chicken with Fried Rice ✅ Overload Fries ✅ Crispy Chicken Fillet with Stir Fry Fried Rice (this is my go-to meal!) ✅ Beefsteak Sandwich ✅ Honey Garlic Chicken Sandwich

Food was enjoyable at their price points. The beef morcon bowl sold as for one but could be good for maybe up to 2 people(depends on how hungry one is). The flavor was ok, semi bland in my opinion. Could use a bit of pop to make it different from others. Moving onto the beefsteak sandwich, a fulfilling non rice dish with an included ice tea with it. The sandwich was heavy for it's looks and the flavor was decent and enjoyable, no wow factor in my opinion. The side looks like a normal bag of potato chips and ketchup were provided but then realizing they were cut from the potato recently into chip size as fries. They were fried to order/that time period vs like how bagged potato chips feel and taste which makes a difference in quality of the meal. It was a good compliment to the sandwich. As an add on, we ordered nachos. Nothing too special to them. Loaded with cheese, meat and fresh cut veggies. Overall a decent night...

The restaurant has a nice ambiance, good for family who likes quiet, not crowded space. I wished it could improve more since the sandwiches and burgers are good. Customer service is okay as well.

I don't like putting bad reviews but I want to be honest based on our experience to give the restaurant a chance to improve their food quality.

The chicken wings was unpleasant. Looks like the oil they use to frying the chicken was used several times. We didn't finish it, two of my family members had encountered stomach aches after eating the...
