*This restaurant is now closed*
The club got an invite to try out the extensive Mexican offerings of B&T(Burritos & Tacos) Mexican Kitchen. I had previously visited and blogged about B&T. This time I wanted to make it a point to try both burritos and tacos and since I had already eaten the Chicken Mole, I veered clear this time to be able to try other things.
It seems the menu and ordering process has become more streamlined and labeled for first timers.
Chips with Chili Con Carne, Cheese and Salsa. The chips are again very colorfully arranged like the colors of the flag of Mexico. Once I dipped the chips into the chili con carne, i knew it was not like the ones I’ve had before. For one, its not tomato sauce based, and the sour cream on top really adds a nice creamy and tangy flavor that mixes well with the beans and ground beef under. A perfect start to the Mexican feast to come.
Mexican Chipotle Chicken Pizza (P450). A surprisingly unique take on pizza, instead of the usual pie crust, this one uses tortilla. The chicken is marinated in chipotle (smoke dried jalapeño) giving it a nice smoky flavor as well as a little spicy kick. The cheese and tortilla crust was really crispy kinda like thin crust pizzas from Shakey’s.
Mexican Vegetarian Pizza (P430) A colorful pizza with toppings reminiscent of a fiesta. I liked the chipotle chicken pizza better but I’m a biased meat eater. This a good alternative for vegetarians out there and if you don’t like any ingredients in the pizza they can also remove them.
Carne Asada Torta with Sweet Potato Fries (P340). This was just ok for me since I don’t really associate bread with Mexican food, I’d rather have tortillas. Beans are also missing in this dish, so for those bean haters out there this dish is for you.
Mexican Burger (P310) Its a big chunk of beefy goodness topped with melted cheese and a departure from regular burger, salsa and garlic sauce.
Fish Tacos (P330) 3 soft tortillas tacos with fried fish fillets with the regular taco fillings. I was surprised to like this the best among all the food that was served that night. The fish tasted so good even though it was fried and I later found out that its because they now use fresh local fish since the traditional mahi-mahi is not available locally and the ones available are all frozen. You really get to taste the freshness in each bite and the soft tortilla really helps keep the taco mess at bay.
Shrimp Burrito (P350). Their burrito are humongous, I can’t finish the whole thing by myself. Irene and I would either share 1 burrito or I wrap the other one and have it at home. The filling of this burrito is a departure from the usual meats like pork, beef and chicken and instead is filled with fried shrimp, something like tempura but has different breading.
Barbacoa Tostada (P330). The tortilla are in this dish are torched hence the name “tostada”. The meat filling this time is the barbacoa which is fork tender slow cooked beef in spices.
Quesadilla de Fruta (P215). Peach slices and cheese in between two large tortillas and topped with chocolate sauce, peanuts and a scoop of ice cream. This one was a little weird for me as I did not like how the peach and cheese mixed together.
That was one big Mexican feast, now I will have an even harder time choosing what to eat when I visit B&T Mexican Kitchen.
So forget about “that other Mexican place” and give B&T Mexican Kitchen a try and see for your the difference a clean and cheery ambiance can make.

ohh wow! your food photos are drool worthy! haha =P i always frequent around greenhills but has never seen this place! must try out soon =)
I just posted about B&T thinking I already tried a lot of their menu items. After reading your post, I feel I have to eat there again a couple of times more. :) Pizzas look really good! and the carne asada torta, can’t wait to try!
I am a huge fan of mexican cuisine. . whew i should not have read your post. It makes me hungry.
Everything looks so delicious! I’m not big on Mexican food but your post made me crave for some tacos and quesadilla. Will have to try B&T when I visit Greenhills.. :)
I love love Mexican food! I love how it can be made exciting just by adding more salsa or chilies. One cuisine I will never get tired of.
It looks really good! The only mexican I have tried was “El Polo Loco” which I didn’t like and perhaps some Burritos from Army Navy. But these would be levels higher… salsa goodness!
Whoooahhh where are my nachos? ha ha ha! You made me crave for nachos and salsa!http://travel-on-a-shoe-string.blogspot.com/
I love the colorful nachos! ^_^
Sheesh. This post really made me hungry. I’m a BIG fan of Mexican food! I used to make tacos, burritos, churros and quesadilla at home a lot. There was even one time I had a bottle of McCormick cumin spice here in my room and I’d smell it when I think of Mexican food. :))
I would love to try everything (except for the burgers / sandwiches), especially the tacos. :) Added this to our to-try list. We got an invite to dine there before, but we weren’t able to join because of work. We hope to drop by here soon.
Everything looks delicious! Prices are a bit high but the serving size seems huge. I don’t think I can finish all of those!
It is nice that more and more restos are offering mexican food. Gone are the days when Tia Marias and Mexicali were big names for Mexican food. Everything looks delicious! I am intrigued with that Quesadilla de Fruta! Should try it. :)
