Iloilo: Tatoy’s Manokan and Seafoods
Our sumptous meal at Tatoy’s Manokan and Seafoods
When in Iloilo, and you are looking for a place to eat by the beach serving good ol’ Filipino comfort food, head down to Tatoy’s Manokan and Seafoods. Located at Villa Beach, West of Iloilo City, about 8 km from the city center, it is one of the old established restaurants that serve native food without the frills and won’t burn your pockets per meal.
Tatoy’s entrance Signage
Tatoy’s has grown considerably that it has extended their main restaurant and they even accept orders on nearby cottages by the beach. They are known to have one of the best grilled chicken in Panay Island. Added dishes we had includes shrimps, oysters , crablets, liempo and kinilaw.
Simple interiors at Tatoy’s restaurant
Honestly, their food is cooked just ok, nothing fancy or added flavors like some exotic restaurants. Like I said, it’s good ol’ home cooking comfort food that will surely satisfy your appetite and budget. Like for our orders, it’s roughly around Php 600-800. So a meal of Php 150-200 will already leave you with tummy’s full and pants tight .
Where has all the food gone?!!

Pangalan pa lang ng restaurant, siguradong masarap na yung pagkain.
That’s exactly the way I want it… nothing fancy pero siguradong masarap at busog.

The food looks good. Very simple, in my opinion but I bet the taste is fairly awesome as well, noh?

murang mura nga. ganun din sa cebu, we had a bunch of orders and it only cost us P800 na lima kaming kumain. sarap ng buhay sa mga lugar outside manila. like iloilo ang daming masarap na putahe mapa sea food man or manok.

ginutom naman ako bigla. para palang su-tu-kil sa cebu, halos ganun din setting, bamboo tables and chairs sa tabi ng beach. may free flight ako sa hsbs and most probably sa ilo-ilo ko gamitin.

That’s true. Ilonggo food is kind of simple … no exotic or extreme tastes.

Exactly what we had when I was in Iloilo last year. Hindi lang masarap (”manamit” in Ilongo) but you’ll love the atmosphere too especially if you eat in one of their cottages facing the sea. And the friendly price made Tatoy’s seafood even more delicious.
