We are strolling in the food strips of Maginhawa Street and we are looking for a restaurant to eat. One of our friends recommends Indonyaki and there you are we checked in to that place. We would like to try Indonesian dishes, but not really sure for the taste of Indonesian food as I haven’t been in Indonesia. 

Indonyaki is like a street food style. The tables were set up along the side walk. It’s just like you are in Indonesia, Brunei, or Thailand where you eat in the street. The prices at the menu are inexpensive.

updated as of August 30

Are you looking for a Mexican food? Then, Maginhawa Street in Quezon City has to offer to all Mexican lovers out there. Casa Quesadilla is located at 176 Maginhawa Street, Quezon City. It is a little Mexican house of big taste.

To be honest, I haven’t tasted an authentic Mexican food so I can’t totally compare the taste of what Casa Quesadilla has to offer, but I will tell you what I like it here. The place is just small. It’s just perfect for a small talk with friends. There are only four or five tables inside.

The staff is welcoming and friendly now not like our first visit on the place. They're now smiling to the customer. Remember, good customer service is very important to this kind of business.
