Naxional South American Diner - Pasig

I would recommend making a reservation at this restaurant. I tried the Pao de Queijo, which are Brazilian freshly baked bread and cheese rolls with mozzarella. I would give it a 9 out of 10; it was very tasty and had a fusion of flavors. However, I found it to be a bit pricey for the small serving size. The ambiance was enhanced by the arts on the lights, painted walls, and music, creating a complete theme of South American food and culture.

My partner always wants us to try new restaurants in the city, so we had lunch at CO/OP in Addition Hills and dinner at Naxional at Uptown Parade Mall in BGC. When we arrived, there were already many people enjoying dinner. Since both places were...More

On a quiet Sunday morning, my wife and I entered the restaurant to find only a few occupied tables. The décor had an industrial feel with a touch of South American charm. Our waitress, although not overly welcoming, presented the menu in a proficient manner. The food, on the other hand, was delightful. The unique flavors tantalized our taste buds and satisfied our hunger. We enjoyed a tangy salad and a combination platter of chicken, strip steak, and blood sausage served with brown rice and beans. The delicious offerings took us by surprise, and we plan to return soon with our family.

This restaurant gave me the impression of exploring all the cuisine in one place! The food was so great and the staff were so amazing. So I ordered a lot and had my tummy so full that I could not even walk afterwards. Lol! I really recommend this yo all the foodie critiques out there.

First time I ate here with my family, I just gave them an average rating. This time I went back and ordered the ones which I liked before and some which I have not tried on my first visit. Old ones which I liked: The Peruano chicken which was still good as usual but the serving was smaller than our first visit. The desmechado was still good but I appreciated it more this time because there was enough meat in it. The cobb salad is still good. This time too, the serving was much bigger.New ones that we ordered: the tacos were really good. We ordered 2 more times. The steak was good also though a bit pricey for the serving size. I prefer this over the Bandeja Paisa. Their cocktails are perfect as well.Service was good as always. There was an event inside that night but they were able to segregate the walk-in guests so they could take care of us well. It was a bit loud and noisy because of the party but we were almost finished by the time it started so it was not a big problem for us.Bottomline: I will come back but I wish they would standardized their serving size. It would help also if their prices are a bit lower.
