Army Navy Burger + Burrito


We had a quick dinner at Army Navy at their Timog branch.

First up: Tortilla Soup. Served in what looks like a coffee cup, this soup is hot and spicy, although I failed to see any tortillas. Sadly, this turned out to be the highlight of the evening.

Fried Chicken. Two pieces of deep fried chicken served with a ball of rice and gravy. The chicken was not bad -- the skin was crunchy and the insides were tender. The rice was a different matter; it felt like eating a glob of sticky bread. Add to that the salty gravy (too much chicken powder!) and the whole meal reminded me of something I'd be better off eating in McDonald's or Jollibee.

I remember their burger to be decent, not spectacular, and that remains the case on this visit. My sister was disappointed, as she had a hard time savoring the taste of burger will all the toppings. The side of Freedom Fries were good, although we were surprised that the size of the fries were like shoestring potatoes.

We were very disappointed with Army Navy's pork burrito. For one, it didn't have any beans. And the killer was that the pork had a butcher-y taste to it, like their supplier didn't give them clean stock.

After this disappointing visit, it's not likely we'd visit this chain anytime soon.

Army Navy Burger + Burrito already has a number of outlets. This one we ate in is in Timog, Quezon City, beside Popular Bookstore. They have branches in Tagaytay, Bicutan, and North EDSA to name a few.
