Mooon Cafe the Mexican Inspired Restaurant 13 Nov 2015

After our almost half a day at the Temple, we went back to the hotel to take a rest, as we know that the children also were tired. All of us took our bath, took our afternoon nap and refresh ourselves.

Then, when evening we went to the nearby SM City Cebu to hunt for our dinner. We were walking around until we saw this Mooon Cafe, and Daddy told us that we should try this as this Moon Cafe was mentioned in the food blogs as their steaks are tasty.

We sat down and opened the menu, Mooon Café’s Mexican offerings are the most popular.

There are light Mexican appetizer, order their all-time favourite Chimichanga, which is composed of crispy flour tortilla filled with tender beef, cheese, sour cream and salsa rojo.

Or their Nacho Spinners, which is a bowl of crispy corn tortilla with five dips: salsa fresca, salsa verde, scorched chilli salsa, tropical fruit salsa, and sour cream.

Have a Mexican feast and choose from Beef Taco, Fish Taco, Quesadilla Uno, Quesadilla Veracruz, Beef Burrito, Burrito Pesaro, Compassions, Nacho de Salsa, Campesinos Jalapeño, Chicken Flautas, and Tostaditas. 

Aside from Mexican dishes, they also serve other equally enticing dishes.

Their Appetisers menu includes the tasty Gambas ala Luna, Gambas ala Ajillo, Pork Sisig, Calamares Fritos, Beef Salpicao, Garlicky Mushroom, Tocino Strips, Tapa Strips, and Crispy Squid.

If you want some fresh greens, order their Lettuce Salad, Ensalada Mexicano,Fajita Salad, or Grilled Chicken Salad.

Their unique pasta servings that include Spaghetti ala Gambas, Pasta Mexicano, Spaghetti Bolognese, and Pasta Carbonara.

They boast of their Spaghetti ala Mooon, a unique pasta dish consisting of sautéed chicken, shrimps, shitake mushroom, roasted peanut, and oriental sauce.

You will also be enticed with their cheesy pizza choices including Jalapeno Diablo, Quatro Quezo, Pizza Classico, Bacon and Mushroom, Pizza Pilipino, Ham and Pineapple, Karnes, Pizza Margarita, and Gardenia.

For meat lovers, take delight on their pork, beef and chicken offerings that come with rice and sidings. To satisfy your hankering for some meaty goodness have some Grilled Pork Belly, Grilled Pork Chops, Mexican Baby Back Ribs, Six-Stick Pork Barbeque, Steak Ala Pobre, Lechon Kawali, or Mooon Steak.

The restaurant prides on serving only certified U.S. beef so if order some Beef Stroganoff, Tenderloin Steak, Beef Tips, Fillet Mignon, Rib-eye Steak, or Peppered Beef, you will definitely get your money’s worth.

If your appetite for meat is only light, have some Chicken Mozzarella Melt or Sizzling Chicken. They also have sausage meals like Frankfurter, Cheese Hungarian and Schublig.

We ordered Lechon Kawali, Mooon Steak, Grilled Pork Belly, and Grilled Pork Chop. We wanted to order the Mexican Baby Back Ribs, unfortunately they don’t have.

The Moon Steak is a sizzling pork steak topped with gravy sauce, served with garlic rice and vegetables.

The Pork Belly is grilled marinated pork belly with buttered vegetables and rice, served with native sauce.

The Pork chop also is grilled tender pork chop with buttered vegetables, rice and native sauce.

Whereby the Lechon Kawali is crispy deep fried pork belly, served with native sauce, garlic rice and vegetables.

Well, the taste are really nice, and I feel that the Philippines taste are really strong and they like to eat salty sauces with a lot of rice.

Mooon also has an extensive menu of hot and cold drinks. They serve various kinds of fresh fruit shakes and juices that can be found on the Thirsty? menu.

Their must-taste drink is the Suncooler, which is a yummy cold concoction of various tropical fruits. They also serve beer, wine and other alcoholic beverages, of coarse we do not take it. Instead, we ordered the Suncooler and another green colour drinks which is nice too.

Like danggit, dried mango, otap, rosquillos and lechon, Mooon Café is synonymous with Cebu.

If you have not been to this Mexican-inspired restaurant yet, then you have not fully explored the Queen City of the South.

Mooon Café is currently one of the most flourishing restaurants in Cebu and is gradually conquering the rest of the Philippines.

So far, is the best meal we had at Cebu.
