Lágrima San Juan

It’s my 1st time dining here in Lagrima San Juan! We opted for the outdoor dining area. No one was there to see us, so we waved through the window and Jeremy greeted us with a smile. He gave us water before handing the menu, which I think is such a thoughtful gesture and something I really appreciate. Jeremy was really accommodating and knowledgeable about the menu. Since it was my 1st time, I got a bit overwhelmed by the menu and Jeremy was there to answer all my queries and was able to suggest exceptional menu items. I ordered the shrimp taco with the crispy shell and the birria taco with the soft shell and cheese, along with the nachos and dip. The main star of the dishes were the complimentary sauces. I enjoyed everything fom the flavor to the play of textures. The shrimp taco tasted so clean and was a good starter, aside from the crispy yet not oily chips. Then the birria gave explosive flavors that balanced out the cleanliness of the taste of the shrimp taco. Will surely be back to taste more of their menu items!!! The Palm Tree Abby beer also was such a great pairing with the tacos!!

What we ordered: Starter pack : 8/10 consists of 3 small soft tacos (beef, pork, chicken). A bit underwhelmed with this. Beef is also a bit oily since they use beef belly. Pork and chicken are ok. I probably should have ordered the After School special instead of this. Burrito: 7/10 I find this too rice-heavy but glad they're using long-grain rice for this, making it less mushy and lumpy. Super Nachos: 7/10 not a fan of this type of chips. Dish has also become soggy an oily after some time. OG Horchata: 8.5/10 I love this but wish they use smaller ice cubes than the delivered tube ice kind since the glass is just small. I'm already done with my meal but the ice haven't melted yet. Staff is very accommodating especially in helping us find parking space in the area. Great find if you're looking for a quick mexican craving fix and you're already in the area.

Lágrima in San Juan is truly a hidden gem! The place is small and cozy, with a chill and laid-back vibe. The tacos and nachos are flavorful and satisfying, you can tell they put care into the ingredients. Service is friendly and the overall experience feels relaxed and welcoming. Definitely a go-to spot if you’re craving Mexican food in the area. 🌸

Posting my review of Lagrima at Public Eatery, Robinson’s Magnolia since they’re not on Google Maps. Ordered the Al Pastor (₱250/piece) and Birria (₱200/piece). The meat on the Al Pastor was delicious and well seasoned. Topnotch sauces. But the tortilla is meh. The Birria’s meat is stringy & tough. Had to spit some out as they are unchewable. But the consommé is very good. Third time here at their Rob Mag branch. It’s okay. Not blown away.

I'm a lagrima hoe forever so it's 5 stars for me on gawdddd 🤤🌮♥️♥️♥️ although if I'm being honest the one in salcedo will always be their most goated branch. this one, despite its iconic exterior, is very small and stripped down. also the food here is slightly less better I just couldn't prove it

The vibe of this place is casual but cool, and the food hits that sweet spot between flavorful and filling. I really liked how you can mix and match your taco base, gringa, crunchy, or street style, The shrimp gringa is always a solid choice, but the mushroom surprised me and might just be my new fave

Fantastic little spot for tacos!! Tried the starter pack and can’t recommend it enough. I wouldn’t have been able to spot this place if a friend didn’t bring me here. They give you plastic gloves to eat their tacos, and their sauces are quite good! It’s an establishment located in a parking lot by Wilson, which means the parking can be full once it’s lunch time.

The Carne Asada Burrito (₱550) was fantastic. Every bite was packed with flavor. There's a 10% service charge but I think it's worth it for the overall dining experience.
