"The food was great! The ambiance of the place was good and the food is relatively cheap considering its taste. The service time was good as well. The staff could have been more friendly. Nevertheless, it is a must visit place in Bulacan!"

"They are still on soft opening again when we visited yesterday but it does not take away the experience and satisfaction we have. First, the place itself has a deep history. Having the arc inspired from Fort Santiago and being one of the oldest ancestral houses in Bustos, the atmosphere and ambiance is really great. Next is the service, staff and their manager on duty was really hospitable. Their manager even told us about the story of the place. And lastly the food and coffee was a blast. We ordered seafood marinara, crispy bicol express and beef pares which we enjoyed. The price is also reasonable :) Overall, I recommend this place to everyone"

"This place is a hidden gem in Bulacan. About 30 to 45-minute drive from Edsa, Balintawak. It's easy to find. Best for groups and family because the servings are generous but the price is cheap. For P380, they got the crispiest crispy pata i have tasted. The sinigang na ulo ng salmon and baked tahong were fresh and delicious. They have a whole slew of desserts and coffee including, Conty's Mango Bravo!! Nice to take pictures inside and out. The staff were friendly and courteous but still undermanned. Limited parking though but someone will guide you when you park along the street. Even the locals flock this place as families and friends from town were coming over for sunday dinner. Will come back :)"
