“Taco-Mata is the culinary brainchild of a couple who wanted to take their 13 years in the Big Apple back home to Manila. What became of their efforts are their New York inspired tacos—a.k.a. can't-be-missed flavor bombs.”
“MISSING POBLACION NIGHTS?”
-Nolisoli.ph
“Pre-quarantine, Taco-Mata was a non-traditional taco stall in Makati’s bustling Poblacion district. Taco-Mata doesn’t just represent New York-style flavors, it’s a sensory reminder of a life outside, and a promise to meet again one day.
