Jalapeño Cantina Mexicana

I was so happy to receive an email from Rommel and Cat Ramos who are regular viewers of Heart2Heart!  Who we later on got to meet…a very nice couple!  

 Rommel is a lawyer and partnered with a friend in opening the restaurant 

Thank you Rommel and Cat for inviting Heart2Heart to your new restaurant, Jalapeño

It was my first time to go to FOOD STREET in Ortigas near Home Depot.  It is a street with mostly bars so it is really a night time hang out

 There are a few restaurants and Jalapeño is one of them.  They had recently opened for lunch.

 

The Jalapeño Team – Jojo Reyes, Chef Jonah and Atty. Rommel Ramos 

Rommel told me to bring my friends so we can all share the food and try more dishes, so I called on my fondue group! Lils, Jeanne, Lau and Eds

We all enjoyed!!! The food was really good!! And Rommel and Cat were right, when you taste their food, you will want to come back.  True enough, I received texts from all of them – Jeanne and Raul came back for lunch the next day, Lils brought her church group for Sunday after church and Ron and Lau went somewhere nearer them that evening to have Mexican!  FUNNY! And I was craving for the same dishes but just did not have time to go all the way back there…SO OPEN IN MAKATI PLEASE! 🙂  

We shared all the dishes that came out! 

Herbed Lemonade

 

Baked Jalapeño Cheese Dip

 

Baked Cheezy Potato Mexicana

 

Tomato and Cheese quesadilla 

 

Grilled Chicken Enchilada which Lils claims to be THE BEST!   

This was an interesting dish which we all shared!  YUMMY!!!

The two guys from the group – Ron and Raul – seemed to be the experts at making yummy wraps!

Rommel told us that many people like their homemade chili sauce – so he is going to bottle it and sell it as well 

Grilled Cajun Pork Chop 

Mexican Style Sausage 

Grilled Chicken Mexicana 

Chef Jonah serving us the food that he cooked  – Chef Jonah is the chef in the TV show called Sis with Janice and Jelli de Belen.  He has a regular portion in the show where he has cooking demos.  According to Rommel, many of his fans go to Jalapeño to see Chef Jonah…who is by the way still a bachelor 🙂
