Ordered the Three Mushroom Cream Cheese Pasta and the House Pizza. Food was good but wasn't that spectacular. Service was good tho and they have friendly staff. Value for money was okay.

Don't waste your time. Go eat somewhere else along maginhawa. Service was mediocre. I would stick to their salads and their Iberian Chicken.

While walking along the long stretch of Maginhawa Street looking for a quiet place to have lunch that would satisfy my husband's western palate and my craving for something different, the green barrier with a Brazo signage lured us to check the display board. The display mentioned offerings of Iberian paella.  We went in and the outdoor seating at the terrace was tempting, but the humid afternoon made the air conditioned dining space a more logical choice. A quaint interior that was both warm and welcoming with interesting decorative accessories. Soft tasteful music was playing. I was set on ordering the Iberian paella after seeing the paella pan in a glass display case outside, but as soon as I saw the small portion served to guests at the table next to ours, I changed my mind. I went for their Callos instead (Php 198), a beef tripe stew cooked in red wine and tomato sauce with chorizo, and black olives. They serve it either with steamed rice or bread. It was exactly how my Abuela used to make it and the taste brought me back to my childhood.  My husband ordered a chicken cordon bleu which he was okay with. He also had it with rice on the side.There was no wine nor alcohol. It would have been great if they could serve that paella with a glass of wine or a pitcher of sangria. Their dessert menu didn't hit our sweet palate that day. Nothing on the dessert list appeals to us. I'm not a fan of Brazo de Mercedes nor a classic chocolate cake.  The nutella with banana pie almost made us change our mind but we ended up not having dessert at all. Price range: Php 500 for 2 personsCleanliness:  Good. The place is neat. Service: What I do praise this restaurant for is the polite attentiveness of their staff. The lady in charge of our table refilled our glasses of water without being asked.  They were also quick.
