Chingolo Makati vs Molito: Which Branch Should You Visit?
Chingolo has two homes in Metro Manila, and they offer slightly different experiences. Here is a quick guide to picking the right one for your visit.
Chingolo Makati
The original. A neighborhood steak deli on Chino Roces Avenue that started as a converted barbershop with about fifteen seats; now we have 60 with a private room that fits 20. It is intimate, casual, and the easiest to drop into for a quick steak or to pick up beef and empanadas to take home. Best for:
- A quick, casual steak in the city
- Grabbing cuts, empanadas, or deli items to go
- An intimate, quiet night out
- Walk-ins and all-day reservations
Chingolo Molito (Alabang)
The destination. A significantly larger restaurant in Molito, Alabang, built around the full experience for larger families and groups.
Quick pick
- In the city, short on time, or buying to take home? Makati.
- Planning a proper dinner or bringing a group south? Molito.
Either way, the beef is the same: pasture-raised, naturally raised, hormone-free Argentine Angus from Bolzico Beef, the reason Chingolo is regularly named among the best Argentinian steak in Manila. And if neither is convenient, we deliver across Metro Manila.
