Mario’s Restaurant<\/a> – Tomas Morato<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Mario’s started out as a well-loved dining destination in Session Road, but the restaurant’s Spanish cuisine was just too good to remain in Baguio. It soon opened in Quezon City, gaining the reputation of the best place for a traditional Spanish fine dining<\/strong> experience<\/strong>! Since then, it has been a favorite among locals, especially those searching for exceptional steak<\/strong>!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tropical Hut has been around since 1962, serving Pinoys with sulit juicy<\/strong> burgers way before Jollibee and Mcdo <\/strong>came into the picture. They might have been far from the spotlight in the past years, but in 2022, a viral pos<\/a>t from a Tropical Hut customer sparked the nostalgia and hunger of many others. Almost overnight, Tropical Hut branches became crowded with customers and delivery riders!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Today, Tropical Hut still proudly serves burgers as well as chicken, spaghetti, sandwiches, rice meals,<\/strong> and more! They even have branches that are open for 24 hours<\/a>!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
