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.

Food 👍👍👍👍Place 👍👍👍👍Value for money 👍👍👍👍The place is so spacious and their is a homey feeling. It's also easy to locate.My barkada and I decided to celebrate the despedida/birthday party of the bunso in our group here. We were supposed to meet at 7pm but thanks to the heavy traffic in the metro so I came on time and ended up waiting for them for at least an hour, while waiting I ordered their brazo potato snacks honey mayo, i love the cheese, ground beef, and green chilli toppings. And after 1234567903837 years my friends finally arrived and are so hungry, we ordered: Iberian Chicken (yummy!!!), lechon kawali (favorite!), and callos, two orders of each dish. The serving is a bit small considering the price. Too bad we wern't able to try their dessert, i've read so many reviews about it and I'll definitely come back here for the desserts. 😁

I have a discriminating sweet tooth so their desserts didn't aced my requirements. Tried their Frozen Brazo de Mercedes that tastes like eeeekkkk. What sorcery is this? All I can taste was ICE. The cake we ordered (I forgot the exact name) was dry. The staff were very attentive! I hope they improve their desserts.

So I tried this restaurant twice already. For the second time around, I ordered Iberian chicken. My best friend definitely agreed that it is so goood. It is not your typical chicken recipe. The potatoes that accompany it surely complement the taste of the chicken.My bestfriend and I ordered Frozen Brazo de Mercedes. We definitely loved it!Ps. Sorry for the pictures. We were so hungry that we forgot to take pictures of the food first. Haha.

Good spacious location, parking spaces out front, homey feel and nice personal touches inside. My son polished off the Iberian chicken, husband loved the glazed pork. I did too but got distracted by the smoked fish and feta wrapped lumpia style (crisp, very flavorful) and the pork was gone when I turned my head. I do remember it had a nice smokey flavor to it and it was not too sweet, which I appreciated . I also enjoyed the pomelo salad with shredded fish flakes and passionfruit dressing. Kids were already quite full by the time dessert was served but still finished off the brazo. It had a rich and yema-like layer. Quite decadent and may be good to share if watching sugar intake.

Eat incredible and mouth-watering foods without spending too much. Try their Iberian Chicken! It's the one I always go after in Brazo. Half a chicken is already good for two (or three people). Never go out without trying a slice of their Frozen Brazo. For me, this cake is 'the' best of all brazo de mercedes renditions I have tasted. You might come back wanting for more!

First time I came here, I ordered, and I thought, "Huh, that's your Monte Cristo sandwich?" Honestly, it was the saddest-looking Monte Cristo sandwich I've seen in my life. Then, my friend and I ended up here again for whatever reason. I thought I'd give it another shot but just like that one time, I ended up disappointed and regretting that decision. I got the Brazo Burger and it was okay. Nothing spectacular. The patty was a little bit on the thin side. The potato fries were so-so. A lot of the pieces were not crispy and most of them were quite small. After our meal, we found the Frozen Brazo de Mercedes to be calling out to us. Being a sweet tooth myself, I easily gave in to temptation, but felt regret afterwards. The frozen custard lacked that creamy richness, it felt a bit water down. For Php75/slice, it was not worth it. The service was friendly. The food just wasn't really exciting enough. All-in-all, I don't think there will ever be a 'third time' visit.

The restaurant looks promising so we tried it out. The service was really bad & I thought I'll have to wait for my retirement before the food gets served. The Iberian chicken we ordered was half cooked and the homemade sausage were as salty as the West Philippine Sea. I would've ordered dessert but opted not to. Never coming back here.
