  We wanted to make this date a little bit more special than the others because it’s going to be the last time that Douglas and I will see each other before we meet again in May. We spent the day in Enchanted Kingdom and then ate a late dinner at B&T Mexican Kitchen, in Ortigas Avenue. 

  I wrote about this place a year ago, and even though it’s been that long, our opinions still haven’t changed. They still offer top-class food and service at reasonable prices.

  The system hasn’t changed—the menu is written on a chalkboard overhead, and you order at the counter. The food is served at your table.

   For this visit, Douglas chose the Pita Pocket (P350) with Carne Guisada and Steak fillings. It was a great choice since the pita pockets were jam packed with flavor, down from the fillings up to the different sauces.  The guacamole was the best we’ve had so far, and it meshed well with the other flavors.

   Philip, the owner/manager of B&T Mexican Kitchen, offered us a special homemade hot sauce to go with this. We didn’t think it would be so spicy, but after tasting one teeny tiny drop of it, we immediately concluded that it was the hottest sauce we’ve ever had.

   To go with his meal, Douglas got a can of Arizona (P70) iced tea. Douglas has a thing for all-natural iced teas.

   Meanwhile, I had this can of Hoegaarden (P145).

   Philip offered us a taste of their new product, the Mango Glazed Habañero Chicken. I didn’t really expect that I would like this because I’m not a fan of anything mango-glazed, but I was glad to see that despite the fruit-based dressing, it wasn’t too sweet. It was perfectly tangy and crispy, and the chicken itself was fat and juicy. It was pretty much everything I look for in chicken wings.

    For my meal, I got a Quesadilla (P350) in shrimp and chicken fillings. I liked the shrimp over the chicken for it was cooked better. The chicken was a little bit dry. I would also have preferred it with more cheese.

    Lastly, we got this plate of Jalapeño Poppers (P150). I’ve been craving for Jalapeño peppers for a while, and so this was a huge treat for me. The heat was just right, and it went really well with the filling. The batter could be improved, though.

    Overall Verdict: Overall, B&T Mexican Kitchen is still the special place that we discovered a year before, and I highly recommend it to anyone who wants to have a great tex-mex experience. I wish they’d stop using disposables as utensils, though, in order to minimize waste.
