Specialising in Meixcan cuisine and agave spirits, Mamacita has rapidly become a hotspot in the competitive BGC district. Open till 3am daily, the two-storey space is a popular destination for late-night drinks—but it’s chef Charles Montanez’s inspired plates that’s got the town talking. From a daring elote with crushed Doritos to a smoky wood-fired chicken, not to mention a delicious fish taco and his impressive arsenal of housemade salsas, Mamacita promises to delight whenever the craving for the vibrant flavours of Mexico takes hold. Stay tuned as Montanez sets to open his new rooftop restaurant Liyab, where he will present a Filipino-forward tasting menu that highlights the use of fire, smoke, and time.
