Xtremely Xpresso Café - Santa Rosa — Restaurant in Santa Rosa

Before I review(likely be detailed) and if you are thinking of going here, get in line while reading haha. . Yes this resto is worth it for both price and amazing food. The prices seem high but the food is good for 2 per plate in my opinion. They have plenty of dishes to choose from, it's exciting. We enjoy eating and finding places like this but tonight I have to admit, we were defeated in the quantity of food ordered. We had to take out our appetizer, which normally we are able to finish our entire meal. The portion sizes are larger than the norm for the price the food costs compared to other resto who charge more for less quantity and flavor. All the food we ordered had amazing flavors and was cooked to order. It was worth the wait for the quality of food we received but be ready to wait if the place is packed. This resto can accommodate many large family parties as we saw this night. So onto the food, the TexMex Nachos followed their Texan-Mexican fusion roots back to the States of quantity, quality, freshness and a flavor that most cannot do or provide all in one dish especially at this price point from across the world. Tell me another place I can visit to compare TexMex nachos and I'll go. You can taste the different cheeses, the fresh cut veggies, the ground beef and the surprise spiciness( the right amount of heat spiciness which doesn't become overwhelming that the food isn't enjoyable). Not sweet like other ultimate nachos are made here but more of an actual TexMex dish. Onto the pasta, we ordered Spaghetti Carbonara. Of the carbonaras I have had so far in the Philippines, this has to be the best carbonara I've yet in the southern Luzon areas. Packed with flavor, the bacon bits are crunchy and tiny ham slices which add to accent the amazing thick and creamy carbonara sauce made. This dish is definitely good for two or one hungry person. I was suggested to try the Baked Chicken Melt. I was satisfied with the dish. As like the other dishes, this was packed with flavors that you will enjoy, flavorful cheese and the chicken was great but not really baked that I can say. We also ordered cheesecake and a choco milkshake. Yet again they were of top notch quality, flavor and size. The cheese cake was of the non baked type of cheesecakes, was moist and the right amount of flavoring as cheesecake should be. While the Choco milkshake was high quality and they even used a different method to crush the ice, didn't feel like normal crushed ice. Normally something most wouldn't review about but that detail made my experience better. Soo if you read this long, you can tell how excited I was for this resto. Yes I will definitely come back in hopes for their country fried steak to be avail once more. I have to give credit to Jim our waiter for the night who provided us with suggestions to make up for some of their sold out foods that night. Most would just suggest 1 dish to compensate but he suggested many and asked questions to my preferences to come to the right dish option. This night was packed with large parties taking up most of the dinning areas but not that long of a wait time for 2 people. Should you go, definitely if you have time and looking for that pa-zzazz, pop or amazing flavorful dishes. If you know a place where we can visit and try. Please let me know. We enjoy venturing and finding foods in places...

Used to come here a lot until one time we ordered a Bbq Ribs and it was served like it just literally came out of their fridge and just spread some bbq sauce on it. Got disappointed so we took a break from this place. Today, we decided to give it another chance. We were seating outside coz our kid likes to run around and we don’t want him to distract people dining in inside the place. We ordered Cesar Salad, Shrimp Scampi, lasagna and the same ribs for my kid. It took more than 30mins already but still our food hasn’t arrived yet. We saw 2 tables that arrived later than us that their food has been served already. That is so ridiculos knowing we have a kid waiting for the food. Nobody even the manager came to our table to at least check on us. She rather check on the two foreign guys sitting inside and spend more time there than looking around tables. We just ended up cancelling our orders coz they seemed so carefree. Really poor customer service. Staffs always looks like they are not in the mood of working....

• we reserved the place as our group has more than 30 persons who dined • waiting for food was kinda long, given that we already advanced order prior dining in. i understand though as we are a big group • caesar salad was ok - it could be better though as it has too many bread but little sauce 🥺 • they weren’t kidding about the big ben X, it was too huge we couldn’t finish it. it was good, has generous toppings and dough was not overwhelming • the mozzarella cheese sticks were not stretchy • we absolutely loved the chicken mushroom steak and the squid ink pasta • i couldnt taste the truffle in the truffle carbonara • the shrimp spaghetti was too soggy for my liking, kinda tastes like normal spag but spicier • they have generous servings though so i’ll give it to them, everything can be shared by 2 persons • service crew are very jolly - they even sang and danced with us as we have one friend who’s celebrating her bday when...
