Asador Dos Mestizos has finally opened its doors in Tagaytay, much to the anticipation of food enthusiasts. The brainchild of the same owners behind Boracay’s beloved Dos Mestizos, led by Chef Patron Binggoy Remedios, who now calls Tagaytay home with his family. Specializing in Spanish-Filipino heritage cuisine, Asador Dos Mestizos brings to the table the nostalgic flavors of Spanish dishes we all cherish.
Located in Silang, this Spanish restaurant offers a unique focus on Asador, presenting a tantalizing array of specialty Spanish steaks prepared for grilling. Guests can savor these delectable dishes while enjoying live entertainment, creating an unforgettable dining experience.

NOCHE DE ESTRENO
The restaurant exudes the ambiance of a hacienda, boasting a generously spacious parking lot for guests’ convenience.
The invitation extends a warm welcome “To our Family & Friends, Join us for a Memorable Opening Night of Vinos y Tapas with a Latin Vibe.” The turnout for the event exceeded expectations, with a remarkable number of guests showing their love for Dos Mestizos and their unwavering support for Binggoy throughout the years.
It was a pleasure to meet Binggoy’s Chef Daughter, Monique, who oversees the renowned Spanish restaurant El Txoko in Puerto Princesa. With over 12 years of training in San Sebastián, her culinary expertise shines through. Monique graciously lent her support during the opening party for Asador Dos Mestizos, showcasing her talent and contributing to the event’s success.
The party invite was for a sunset session at 5pm, but we arrived around 7pm to find the restaurant bustling with activity. Despite the late hour, the atmosphere was vibrant, with guests enjoying themselves throughout. The food and wine kept flowing generously, ensuring that everyone had a delightful experience without running dry.
Our personal favorite was the Callos con Garbanzos (₱595), a delightful stew of ox tripe with chickpeas! It was “eat all you can” throughout the night, with each serving consistently bursting with flavor, maintaining its deliciousness with every replenishment.
The Cochinillo was undoubtedly a crowd-pleaser every time it made an appearance. To indulge in this culinary delight, one must place an order for the Suckling Pig Roasted the Castilian Way (₱11,940) with a 1 Day advanced order.
Here’s the menu with prices (+10% service charge) to plan your trip to Asador Dos Mestizos.
They offer sangria, wine, cava, and local Tagaytay draft beer from Monkey Eagle Brewery.
Here’s the Wine, Cava and Tapas menu. Prices are reasonable than Manila Spanish restaurants.
The restaurant is al fresco, but the cool evening breeze during dinner wasn’t too bad. I could imagine it would be hot during lunch time.
Best to reserve the only air-conditioned private cellar room when you go for lunch.
The main highlight of the experience here is the Brick Oven, and in just 20 days, Binggoy will be serving his specialty Spanish Aged Steak at Asador.
Love the live Latin vibe music with drums, DJ spinning Latin tunes, and energetic performances.
FINAL THOUGHTS
I’m really impressed. Binggoy is turning 76 this July, and he hasn’t lost his touch with Spanish cuisine. The tapas, Spanish dishes, and sangria were all delicious throughout the night. Many people love the Dos Mestizos brand, and having good food and live music was the perfect way to open with family and friends. I can’t wait to go back to try the grilled steaks and bring the boys to enjoy Binggoy’s food closer to the south, all the way from Boracay.

P.S. OK technically this restaurant is located in Silang along the restaurant row of Asiong’s, Casa Amalia, former location of Fatted Calf, and soon to open Chef Robby Goco’s Olive Oil-themed restaurant.
