We
never
expected
to
find
a
Spanish
restaurant
while
traversing
the
Munting
Ilog
back
roads
from
Santa
Rosa
to
Silang
-
but
glad
we
found
it.
This
is
a
small
place
(max
30
guests,
estimate)
within
a
Petron
gas
station
complex,
with
genuine
rustic
and
cozy
interior
vibe.
The
menu
is
extensive,
leaning
more
towards
Spanish
for
the
appetizers
and
mains,
a
few
(mainly
kebabs)
Mediterranean
dishes,
with
several
pasta
and
pizza
dishes
to
round
off
the
Italian
offerings.
There's
a
complimentary
bread
service
with
liver
paté
that
I
swooned
over.
We
ordered
the
garlic
soup
and
french
onion
soup
-
both
generous
servings.
The
garlic
soup
was
savory
and
a
touch
creamy.
The
onion
soup
was
good,
but
needed
a
bit
more
depth
in
terms
of
beef
broth
flavoring.
The
Santorini
salad
with
was
a
bit
tentative
on
the
orange,
so
it
ended
up
being
a
bit
of
a
generic
salad,
though
it
was
generous
with
olives
and
feta
cheese.
The
gambas
is
wonderful
-
the
shrimps
were
cooked
at
high
heat
resulting
with
shrimps
that
had
a
bit
of
crust
bit
were
still
tender
and
juicy
with
a
great
oil
and
garlic
flavor.
This
is
a
must
order,
really.
The
paella
mixta
is
made
with
basmati
rice
which
makes
this
a
rarity
and
a
great
dish.
(Most
paellas
I
try
are
either
made
with
regular
rice
or
arborio
-
which
makes
for
a
softer
almost
risotto-like
dish.)
The
basmati
brings
texture
that
can
stand
up
to
the
hearty
'mixta'
of
chicken,
seafood
and
sausage.
While
we
ordered
the
small,
listed
as
good
for
2
pax,
this
would
have
filled
up
4
people
when
taken
with
other
dishes
on
the
menu.
This
is
a
place
definitely
worth
finding
and
trying
out
if
you're
in
the
mood
for
generous
comfort
food.
PS
they're
open
Wed-Sun
only.
