El Poco Cantina - UBELT

10s across the board! Got to try for the first time last week with their ₱99 promo— got 3 quesa birria and 1 tostada. Great flavor! Not greasy at all! Not salty and it was filled full with meat. The staff were also friendly and my order came out fast. I can confirm this is THE BEST QUESA BIRRIA I’ve tried so far

Superb- premium quality food. Quick preparation. I ordered for takeout. They charge ₱20 for additional hot sauce, when it's freely available on their dine in tables. It's my first time so I just go ahead and pay for it. Next time, pwede ko naman lagyan nalang ung food ko mismo or add it to the sauce container.

Tried El Poco recently and had a somewhat mixed experience. For the food, we ordered beef barbacoa soft tacos, tostada tacos, a naked beef barbacoa burrito, and beef barbacoa quesadillas. The barbacoa was flavorful and tender. The tacos were nicely assembled with fresh toppings, and the quesadilla was well-toasted with a generous filling. Overall, the food was enjoyable and satisfying. The ambiance is definitely a strong point. The restaurant has a vibrant, modern cantina feel with bright colors and a clean, lively atmosphere that makes dining in pleasant. Service was a bit inconsistent. The other servers who brought our food were polite and friendly, which we appreciated. However, the cashier Micah was a bit rude and came across as nonchalant, making the ordering experience feel less welcoming than expected. Good food and great ambiance, but improving the front-of-house interaction would make the experience much better.

We finally tried El Poco Cantina!!! One of the Michelin Bib Gourmand winner this year and it did not disappoint! We loved everything on the menu, from the beef pecadillo tostadas (10/10) to the birria tacos (10/10) and elote bowl (9/10). Our fave was the BEEF BIRRIA TACO NO CHEESE, the beef was tender and melted in my mouth, and the pickled onions were a perfect! PERIOODDD!! The burrito, okay lang… 8/10 Love the service as well, with friendly and accommodating staff. We visited around 6 pm and it was kinda crowded, but we didn't have to wait long for a seat. We didn’t wait long for the food too!!! LOVE ITT! Kudos to the ate server, for providing excellent service, she’s very kind!

We love everything that we had here, specially the burrito. We ordered the fried birria tacos and eating eat is a bit messy. But i really loce the balance of the soft meat and crunchy taco shells. This place was a random find while looking for a Mexican place to eat before driving back home to Batangas. Just take note that this is besides the highway and no parking is available. This is like a hoto place to uni students who commutes. Driving around the block, we saw a street that's not so busy with other cars parked too and walked for like 3-5 minutes going to the spot.

El Poco Cantina provides a reasonable pricing for their food and it taste very good. if your eating as a pair, I recommending getting two dish like 1 naked buritto and 2pcs birria tacos as it is enough. the meat and chicken in their dish taste very good, especially when you pair with their sauce, salsa, and spicy condiments. I really liked their quesabirria tacos (beef barbacoa). Its cheezy, the meat is soft and it taste very good. The naked taco is also a good pick as I also want a rice meal. The portion is enough for 2 people and taste very good (I picked chicken chipotle). However, the El Poco Iced Tea is not up to my personal taste. Maybe because I like Iced Tea very sweet. I would also like this beverage served in a glass cup with ice to feel more refreshing. Because this drink is stored in a plastic bottle (we dined in). But you may still try it and give a follow up review about this beverage. The service and environment is good and the serving time took around less than 5 minutes. (We ate around 12pm, saturday). Good thing we experienced it with less customer during that time and day. This is my PERSONAL experience eating here. Thank you, El Poco Cantina. What I ordered (based on other reviews): 1x 2pcs quesabirria tacos (beef barbacoa) 1x naked burrito (chicken chipotle) 2x El poco iced tea

My partner and I ordered the Quesabirria Tacos and Naked Burrito. The meat was tender and juicy, the serving portions were filling, and the price isn't bad for an awesome Mexican experience. The sauces are really good. Staff was friendly and quick to respond if needed. Food came out quick. My only issue is the rather cramped space. We'll definitely go back here in the future.
