After doing a little shopping at Tiendesitas yesterday, my family and I had an early dinner at Hacienda Resto & Deli across the street. My sister always passes by the place when she goes to work and suggested we try it out because she was intrigued by the old-fashioned signage and the homey-looking decor inside. We ended up discovering a little gem of a restaurant that serves affordable Filipino food in a casual, laid-back atmosphere.
You can tell that Hacienda Resto & Deli is a no-frills restraurant by the appearance of the chairs and the way the tables are out, and the prices of the food (around P150 – P200 per dish) pretty much confirms this. Yet the owners of the place made an effort to create a hacienda-like atmosphere, and it works. The large glass windows are edged with squares of colored glass, and the crystal chandeliers are a stunning contrast next to the sacks of coffee decorating the ceiling.
A pretty blackboard above the counter has today’s menu and specials. Hacienda Resto & Deli serves mostly Filipino food, but they also offer pasta and steak.
Most of the Filipino dishes are placed in labeled kawalis on the counter, turo-turo style.
