Marikina City: Beeffalo by Hotrocks

I rarely pass by Gil Fernando Avenue, Marikina. The only restaurant I know in that area is Alexei's Diner and Café which is one of my loves. To my surprise, a well conceived food haven is discretely lounging towards the stretch of Gil Fernando going SSS Village. And it’s been waiting for me in months now ;p

Beeffalo by Hotrocks serves affordable steaks, ribs and other satisfying dishes that will definitely feed your protein cravings. I must say I am impressed with everything I experienced there – food, place, ambiance, service and cost. Given another month or so, this seemingly coy restaurant would be everyone’s favourite.

candle light on top of every table

staff BBQ-ing 

lovely and clean washroom/CR too ;) 

The place is very open. You can immediately see the arrangements of tables, chairs and lights outdoor. Somehow it looks like a private residential home with a spacious backyard. But when you see the “Beeffalo” sign inside, that’s when you realized that the place is indeed a restaurant.

Although the concept of Beeffalo is BBQ style and grill which is generally outdoor in nature, there’s an air-conditioned area to those who would like to stay indoor. It’s gorgeous inside! The interior is adorned with old school gadgets and appliances.

I ordered baby back ribs. I told my cousin that I couldn't finished the whole thing because it's pretty ginormous for me (he-he). Pero, 'wag ka, naubos ko rin siya! (ha-ha) I couldn't stop eating eh! until I finished the whole thing ;p
