Taco Vengo is one of our go-to places whenever we're craving for jam-packed burritos. They use good quality pita wrap which is both thin and flavorful, as if it's dipped in sauce before being served. Their rice is always cooked well and their flavors are very unique. The last time we went to this restaurant, we ordered 3 burritos namely the Honey Soy Chicken, the Braised Pork Belly, and the BBQ Beef Belly.Honey Soy Chicken Burrito - 4.5/5Price: 218 PhpWe enjoyed this dish because of the burst of flavors in each bite. It had a little bit of spice because of the kimchi and everything really mixed well together. Our only issue was how the egg was spread unevenly. One half of the burrito had too much egg, while the other half barely had any. But overall, it was really good.Braised Pork Belly Burrito - 4.5/5Price: 268 PhpThis dish was interesting because of its sweet nutty flavor. It gives off a kind of a fresh lumpia with peanut sauce type of taste which we found to be very enjoyable. It mixed well with the huge but thinly cut pork belly.BBQ Beef Belly Burrito - 3/5Price: 268 PhpCompared to the other burritos that we ate, this was the least unique. It had the expected bbq sauce flavor and the meat was cooked well, but it wasn't that special in our opinion. Another issue that we had with the dish was that the pita wrap of the burrito was breaking when it was served to us and even stuck to the foil. But even if we wont be having this burrito anytime soon, flavor wise, if you're a BBQ-lover, this might be a great choice for you.Even if the food is always great, what we usually find difficult in this particular branch is calling the attention of the waiters and waitresses. This is because they all seem to like staying in one spot, which oddly enough is away from where the guests sit. Hope they'll be able to do something about this soon.Overall, we enjoyed the food and are sure that we'll be visiting them again soon.

This place serves great tacos...well not your usual palm sized crunchy ones..they actually come in small four-inch diameter open faced soft shell ones..Service was efficient and friendly, the place has interesting nooks and areas clad in tiles and wood. Clean and minimalistic. The Pork Cheek Confit was awesome in my opinion, chicharon (had crunchy and soft bits) and sour cream with a wedge of lime.The tempura shrimp (with slaw) was also good doused it with a bit of their chili sauce.Their House Blend tea was just okay.Next visit ill probably have their burritos or quesadilla.awesome awesome so far. When can they have this down south??

A visit on their first branch in Kapitolyo was not as pleasant as expected. This was because foodies recommended it and it didn't go so well. Yesterday, while dining alone, it was the same unsatisfying meal. This branch in Megamall is beside Wendy's. Hard to spot despite a big logo on their frontage. They offer take out on the go and a few seats for dining in. New age Mexican as they mixed with other cuisines on their signature meals. Soy Chicken Rice was disappointing. Tasted bitter with too much grilled marks and its meat was so lean with too much chicken skin fat too. It was like eating slightly burned tocino (Filipino cured pork). The Pork Cheek for Php 115 was fairly prized on size but waste of money once you take a bite. The meat had no taste and the light sour cream on top of it had more presence. Also had some bland salsa on the side. A cold side of tomatoes without the love.
