When Mom Violy wanted seafood, one name kept popping up: Breakthrough Restaurant. Would it live up to the hype?

After a road trip and exploring the area, Mom Violy requested some seafood and was given a recommendation to dine at  Breakthrough Restaurant . When we entered the restaurant, we saw it was bustling with customers, and Mom Violy asked for a table by the window to enjoy the beach view . The server informed us that we needed to place our order at the counter and choose the seafood to be weighed, similar to the process at Dampa . Tita Edna was busy snapping photos, while Carmina was filming as Mom Violy placed her order. Breakthrough isn’t air-conditioned, but they provide electric fans at your table for comfort. Mom Violy wanted sinigang and was deciding which kind of fish to have with her soup. Mom Violy requested the crab and shrimp to be cooked in butter and garlic. Mom Violy also ordered adobong pusit (squid). Tita Edna placed her own order, which was kilawin na dilis . Carmina wanted fresh lumpia , but since it wasn’t available, she opted for pinakbet instead. Everything seeme...

Carmina's Review on La Carnita Modern Mexican Cantina

Carmina was craving for Mexican food. She decided to purchase from  La Carnita Modern Mexican Cantina  since she had some tortilla at home. I had ordered their La Comida B includes Meat of choice plus rice and 1 side dish. My order was Grilled Chicken with Burrito Rice and Grilled Elotes (corn) for PHP 309.00 ($5.33). Not recommended to get their Burrito Wrap because it is small there is no way you'll get full. Probably need to add something else with your order for PHP 299.00 ($5.16). Yet it is best to get the Chimichanga Grande choice of Beef and Ala Bomba for PHP 339.00 ($8.84). Carmina had shared her food with the family member who had the Burrito Wrap made our own taco/buritto by using our tortillas at our home. This was my first time trying grilled chicken from a Mexican restaurant yet it wholesome good smelling up your home with soft and juicy and what more adding the Grilled Elotes sauces (salsa, hot sauce, white sauce with pesto and sour cream) that came with it....
