My favourite restaurant in El Nido town. It was recommended to me by a Filipino lady and I noticed that unlike other places in the vicinity, this one’s mostly visited by locals. I tried Beef Tagalog, Chicken Adobo, Pork Sisig and they were all really good. Staff was kind was service prompt. Glad I found this among the sea of tourist traps in El Nido town.

We had breakfast here! It was very cheap and good Filipino food! We had the cornsilog and chicken omelette! They were flavourful! It said it included a coffee which never came but it was just a black instant coffee

Contrary to what TikTok tourists said, Mazabor’s food is actually good! Not mind-blowing, but decent. We tried the Sinigang na Hipon — a bit on the bland side — and the Beef Broccoli, which was a little too sweet for my taste. But aside from that, the place nailed it when it comes to cleanliness, service, and overall vibe. The staff were attentive and the atmosphere was cozy enough to enjoy a relaxing meal. If you’re craving Filipino food in an island packed with Western restos, Mazabor is definitely worth a try.

Prices seem cheaper here, i got the Sizzling Boneless Chicken with Rice for just 210. It is probably good for 2. The Ceviche meanwhile was more expensive at 350. The Boneless Chicken was Good. The Ceviche was Delicious, it just had that right amount of sourness and balance of Cucumber, Onions and Chili. Service could use smiling more :-)

I've been lucky to eat at some of the best restaurants Mazabor restaurant, the food was so on point with the flavours and presentation, I couldn't fault a single dish. The restaurant has a modern but and authentic touch to it. The staff are great and easily approachable, we did have to wait a little long for our main course but good food is worth the wait. Well done! I believe If you keep up with the amazing work soon or later you will be receiving recognitions and wards. The best dessert leche flan and mango Graham
