At the heart of the SM Mall of Asia’s North Entertainment Wing, a new dining spot is giving food lovers a reason to get excited. Los Chachos, the latest venture of restaurateur Cibbie Gonzales — also the mind behind Go! Salads — is bringing a fresh, fun, and flavorful twist to casual dining by marrying Filipino comfort food with Mexican flair.
Los Chachos thrives on reimagining familiar flavors. Here, sinigang takes on a crunchy new life as fries, while slow-cooked birria beef finds its home in cheese-crusted tortillas. It’s a concept that celebrates both cultures while creating something entirely its own. Every dish feels at once familiar and adventurous, inviting diners to sit down, share, and savor.
For first-timers, the Sinigang Fries (₱145/Regular, ₱420/Grande) are a must. Tangy, crunchy, and addictively unique, they set the tone for what Los Chachos is all about — playful reinvention. Equally irresistible are the Smoked Birria Chacos (₱470 for 2, ₱520 for 3), where juicy beef wrapped in tortillas with a cheese crust is served with rich consomé for dipping. The flavors are indulgent, smoky, and deeply satisfying.
To balance the boldness, the Frozen Horchatas (₱165 Classic, ₱180 Ube) are refreshing and sweet, a nod to traditional Mexican beverages but with a Filipino twist through the ube variant. For dessert, diners can indulge in a creamy Yema Cheesecake (₱225) or crunchy Churros (₱145) dipped in chocolate, ensuring the meal ends on a sweet note.
While Los Chachos already has branches in Makati, Ortigas, Fairview, and North EDSA, its arrival at Mall of Asia feels especially fitting. Positioned at one of the country’s busiest lifestyle hubs, it welcomes locals and tourists alike to experience food that is bold yet comforting.
Dining at Los Chachos is more than a meal — it’s a flavorful journey that makes familiar dishes feel brand new. Whether for a quick snack or a sit-down feast, this Fil-Mex hotspot proves that food can be both playful and soul-satisfying.
