Tio Jose Tapsilogan - Masbate

The restaurant was clean and the food was decent and affordable. They have air conditioning available, but the toilets could use some improvement. The staff were very friendly.

We heard about this restaurant as a must-try spot for beef in Masbate, so we decided to give it a try. Located along Quezon Street, it was easy to find and access. The interior had a local carinderia feel, but the outside area was much nicer with an electric fan keeping it cool. We ordered a tapsilog, tenderloin tips, and pares, along with sodas. To our surprise, the food was beautifully plated on white ceramic plates with a side of veggies for the tenderloin tips and other garnishes. We were expecting plastic plates, so this was a pleasant surprise. They even gave us free soup! The beef was tender, flavorful, and the portion sizes were generous. The best part was that it was very affordable, with the total bill coming to around 300 pesos for everything.

I was extremely hungry when I arrived at this restaurant and was eager to indulge in a variety of dishes. However, I was disappointed to find out that many of the items on my list were not available, including Gambas, fish sinigang, and mango shake. In the end, I settled for pork sinigang and ice tea, which were not particularly outstanding.

Very delicious and awesome sizzling gambas... and fish sinigang is good... yummy soup... however some of the items in the menu is already not available...

I tried the tapsilog since it's what they're known for and I wasn't disappointed. Yummy and the beef wasn't too hard. There are different branded everywhere so I bet you can try it anytime, anywhere in Masbate City.
