When Filipinos think of Latin American food, Mexican cuisine usually comes to mind but the region offers far more different cuisines that run the gamut of flavors and textures. However, diving into the deep end of foreign cuisine can be a daunting experience for many who might shy away from unfamiliar dishes.





Tittos Latin BBQ and Brew aims to make the experience more enjoyable with their menu that balances intriguing dishes that remain comfortably familiar. “We try to make Latin American cuisine more fun and appealing for Filipinos,” said Tittos executive chef Jerwyn Rabo.
Chef Jerwyn, along with marketing director Winslow Co are part of Eat Up MNL Inc., a group of friends that built Tittos in 2016 as a passion project. “We were all just passionate friends who wanted to have a space to drink and celebrate and have fun. We started in Kapitolyo and then opened our Greenhills branch in mid-2019,” Co shared.
“When we started, Tittos was about creating a space for fiesta and celebrations. We didn’t have prior experience, but we succeeded with the help of our stakeholders and the warm reception from the local community at our first branch in Pasig,” he added.
Today, Titto’s enjoys brisk business in its two branches, with the Greenhills branch also home to Vault, a speakeasy located behind one of the doors of the restaurant.
As Titto’s celebrates its 8th year in the business, it also launched three new holiday items in its menu, namely the Peruvian Stuffed Chicken Wings, the Columbian Roasted Pork Belly, and the Street Taco Sampler. These delectable dishes are available for a limited time only, so be sure to try them before they’re gone.
The oven-roasted pork belly in the Porchetta is a delight with crisp skin and juicy meat. It comes with grilled corn, and mixed greens with raspberry vinaigrette on the side to balance the rich flavor of the pork. The dish is served with three condiments: sweet chili garlic bits, cilantro chimichurri sauce, and salsa verde. Chef Jerwyn shared that each slice is best enjoyed when it is topped with all three condiments.
The taco sampler is an international tour of flavors. Mexican classics such as beef barbacoa, carnitas, baja fish, and birria stand side to side with salted egg shrimp, pesto chicken, lengua, and sisig. Meanwhile the Peruvian Stuffed Chicken Wingettes is an herbal, smokey delight with a slight spicy kick.
There are also other dishes that diners can enjoy such as the Crab Tortilla de Bomba, the El Toro, and the Pollo Asado. For festive celebrations, Titto’s also offers Conchinillo which is glazed with a truffle honey after it is cooked.
