Buen Comer

At Buen Comer by Poquellas, they have perfected the kare-kare burrito recipe and have created other burritos that will surely make you want to go to the North.
Buen Comer started when five friends, Chat Umali, Miko Badillo, Jaybu Buhay, Tina Jacinto and Macky Hombrebueno decided to create Buen Comer by Poquellas in 2015. 

They’re only open on Wednesday to Saturdays, though, from 4 PM to 10 PM.

The first concept was to open a Tex-Mex restaurant, and soon they joined food bazaars, but it was not until an event took place in one mall that they were required to add Filipino flair to their dishes. It was then the kare-kare burrito was born.

It didn’t take long before their regular customers began asking if they had a physical store. They decided to open a garage in Quezon City and started selling Tex-Fil burritos for everyone to enjoy. 

The chef’s menu is their chicken Caesar salad burrito, a take on a salad on a wrap filled with grilled chicken. It’s healthy yet hearty. They have also tweaked the usual nachos and made nacho potato crisp, changing the usual tortillas to homemade potato chips. It’s mixed with their own longganisa, lettuce, and tomatoes, and drizzled with their own concoctions of sauces, creamy garlic, and creamy cilantro sauce. 
In addition, Buen Comer’s steak and fries are filled with tender and flavorful steak with seasoned, crispy fries. Their Pilaf rice also uses the same USDA top-grade imported beef using the rib eye.

They have also added an Asian twist to some dishes, like their taco spring rolls, a mix of Asian, Mexican, and Filipino. It’s a taco mix but is placed in a lumpia wrapper and fried. Each bite is a mix of creaminess from the cheese and savory from the marinated meat, perfect finger food for anyone. They make all their sauces in-house, and all ingredients are fresh.

Whenever you find yourself in Maginhawa and salivating at the thought of burritos, you simply have to visit Buen Comer. The casual dining spot offers Mexican flavor bombs such as their Kare-Kare Burrito. 

Making a difference and keeping people safe.
