Cocina Juan
After viewing other food bloggers page i came up with the idea of exploring this budget restaurants located along Maginhawa St., Teachers Village, Q.C area.As you enter the village you will noticed the number of resto, mini bars and cafe (as in magkakatabi-tabi). Since i already have the idea of what to eat since i already scanned the list of these restaurants including their menu. We stopped at "
cocina juan"
The place is quite old. The ambiance is simple- white colored tiles with metal legs and painted black metal chairs with cushions. The walls was cemented and painted into orange with paintings hanging on them.
The waiter told me that
Pasta Chimichurri is one of their best selling menu.That's why I ordered Pasta Chimichurri (P159) and
Sofrito Cream Dory Mary Rose (P199).The pasta chimichurri was good and i think it is good for two servings.It's a petuccini pasta tap with white sauce with bits of corn and parmesan cheese.
The Cream Dory Fish cooked and tenderized in aluminum foil, served with a popular Latin American sauce called Sofrito ("Well Cooked and Fragrant Sauce", Spanish Original)The Sofrito sauce was a bit oily and buttery, which overpowered the tomatoes and herbs. The dory came out tender but bland, so the nice topping of melted cheese gave it a more creamy flavor.
What I loved at this place is they served Tacos for FREE! yes its free :)
Cocina Juan served Central American dishes. This is a nice place to treat friends for a birthday or a special occasion -- good food, unique yet casual ambiance.
