A while ago, my boyfriend and I went to Banilad Town Center supposedly to do an hour of boxing training. Unfortunately, we didn't have handwraps and we didn't want to spend our money right then and there on disposable handwraps. And so, instead of engaging in physical activities, we decided to just 'chill' and fatten ourselves inside a Mexican restaurant which interestingly had a lot of foreign diners. Sensing its popularity, we decided to give it a try. We weren't really hungry so we opted to go-light and ordered Nachos de la Casa. When we took our first bite, we were in awe as we honestly never expected it to go beyond our expectations. The nachos were different from the ones that come in packets. They were crunchier and tastier! The mixture of ingredients in their specialty nachos was perfect too! Nachos de la Casa contained jalapeños, sour cream, tomatoes, chicharon and beef, among others. The dish is definitely a must-try!

We also ordered two desserts: Tarta Imposible (2nd photo) and Brazo de Mercedes (3rd photo). Tarta Imposible has a chocolate brownie-like base with a caramel custard upper layer. Although delicious, it is not really exceptional. Brazo de Mercedes is a dessert composed of a meringue outer layer and custard inner layer. What I like about their version is that the meringue layer is somewhat chewy and dense unlike most commercial Brazo de Mercedes which tends to be rather vacuous and porous.

I'm definitely going back to this restaurant when I have the chance! You can drop by if you like. It's on the first floor of the Banilad Town Center building in Cebu City.
