Hidden behind a residential-looking gate, Taqueria Seta is easy to miss. But their in-your-face vibrant murals both outside and inside will make you curious enough to take a peek—and their tasty renditions of Mexican food plus boozy beverages will make you want to stay.

You can even opt to have it as a Taco Ng Ina Mo! or a deep-fried burrito drizzled with Habanero sauce and quezo. You’ll be good-naturedly cursing how good this sinful roll is.

Trust Poblacion to have a different spin on the food-park concept. The Social on Ebro only has two food stalls, which is far below the average for most food parks, but what they lack in quantity, they more than make up for with quality. Crosta serves up sourdough pizza with quality ingredients from Italy, and cheeky names like the impossible-to-ignore Basic B*tch—which is anything but. Old favorite Kashmir also has an outpost here, serving up fuss-free Indian street food.

While they offer your typical ebi tempura—in regular or jumbo sizes—the must-tries here are the unconventional ones like uni that’s wrapped in nori, then deep-fried.
