family restaurant Archives - Between Bites - Bites of Food, Travel and Lifestyle

I cannot count how many times I’ve been to Texas Roadhouse, whether in the El Pueblo or Bonifacio High Street branch. When I want no-brainer good food, it is definitely in my shortlist of go to restaurants.

Since this is a “Texas” themed restaurant, its main thrust is in its steaks –the all time favorite American grilled food. The hand fits the glove as the restaurant is equipped with a long bar for some heavy cowboy drinking, swinging saloon doors and the wait staff in cowboy attire.

On the Table

Santa Fe Nachos PHP 275

For starters, we never fail to order the Santa Fe Nachos. It is that bright cheesy triangle nacho dotted with a jalapeno slice in the center. It’s in the first bite that holds the surprise because underneath the solid layer of cheese is yummy tomato basted ground beef. Served with marinara and sour cream on the side.

Parmesan Crusted Fish Fillet PHP 350

It’s also a staple order in our table. More from the previous post

Boneless Barbeque Chicken PHP 275

My sister Joyce loves anything Barbeque-d and chicken. The dish she kept mostly for herself.

Herbed Trailboss Steak PHP 495

Add sautéed mushrooms PHP 90. My mom opted to add the sautéed mushrooms for an additional charge and she was happy with her steak. She loves her meat well done because reddish meat makes her feel repulsive. She really enjoyed her order and couldn’t be any happier. At any rate, her steak for me was okay but the flat iron steak was that evening’s table champ.

Flat Iron Steak PHP 475

It was very flavorful with enough juices in it to keep the meat moist and tender. There is little needed to boost flavor since the meat is wonderful on its own tender meaty glory. The meat wasn’t grainy or stringy. It was so tender that it delicately softens in your mouth . It is definitely a steak that “meats” your taste buds.
