Silantro Fil-Mex Cantina
Inside Silantro Fil-Mex Cantina
Silantro Fil-Mex Cantina is a Tex-Mex restaurant tucked into a busy stretch of Pasig, offering a casual, no-frills dining experience that leans heavily on hearty, familiar flavors. The space itself is a mix of indoor and outdoor seating, with a slightly aged interior that won’t steal the spotlight but serves its purpose for those here primarily for the food. Expect a straightforward, lively vibe where groups of friends and families come to share plates and dig into bold, comforting dishes.
The menu leans into classic Tex-Mex fare with items like beef nachos, chicken and beef burritos, calliente wings, and seafood paella that satisfy cravings for generous, flavor-packed servings. Among the crowd favorites are the lengua (beef tongue) tacos or burritos, which locals tend to recommend, as well as the beef skewers praised for their tenderness and punchy seasoning even when cooked well done. Portions are substantial enough to leave most diners pleasantly full without needing to order excessively.
For those planning a visit, parking is a known challenge since the eatery doesn’t have its own parking area, so it’s best to come prepared or consider alternative transportation. Payment is also strictly cash-only, so having cash on hand is a practical necessity.
The atmosphere can get lively, especially during meal times, with friendly staff who are quick to assist despite the simplicity of the setup. While the décor and utensils might feel a bit dated, the unpretentious setting encourages a focus on the flavors and portion sizes. Outdoor seating lets diners enjoy whatever breeze is passing, which can be a plus, especially on cooler evenings.
Silantro is a spot suited for those who appreciate straightforward Tex-Mex dishes without fuss, especially fans of burritos and skewered meats. It’s a place where locals come for satisfying meals at reasonable prices, ideal for casual group gatherings or a filling solo meal. The best time to drop by would likely be outside peak lunch or dinner rushes to avoid crowded seating and to enjoy a more relaxed pace.
