Get your fill of herbs and spices at Silantro Fil-Mex Cantina

A fusion of Filipino and Mexican flavours that will satisfy your cravings. Easy on the pocket, but with generous servings.

Capitol Drive is famous for having chains of restaurants and hole-in-the-wall type of diners. A peaceful neighbourhood turned into a food hub, homeowners converted either their garage or some parts of their house into a dining place.

Amidst the variety of choices, Silantro is a standout. They offer your favourite Mexican dishes like quesadilla, burritos, nachos and paella, but with a taste that is distinctly Filipino. Whenever I'm stressed out of work and in need of some comforting, a Fil-Mex fix from Silantro never fails to deliver.

Your mouth will surely water as they serve you this overwhelming Mexican paella.

 

Beef quesadilla with overflowing cheese and thick-cut fries on top. I’m craving it while I’m typing this.

  

All the Fil-Mex goodness!

 

Don’t forget to look for this sign when you're there.
