Inexpensive Meals at Amelito's Grill and Sizzling House Plus Unli Rice, Soup, Gravy - Food Thrift

The uproar on the net in the last couple of days following alleged plans to ban unli rice should be enough of an indication that Filipinos love rice. While Mang Inasal may be synonymous to unli(mited) rice, there are other restaurants and eateries that cater to the Filipinos' penchant for this meal staple.

With a branch at Albatross St., Francis Subdivision, Pandayan, Meycauayan, Bulacan, Amelito's Grill and Sizzling House offers unli rice, unli soup and unli gravy with its super affordable grilled meats and sizzlers. The entrees are served on a sizzling plate with a scoop of buttery rice, a bowl of nido soup and another of buttery gravy.  Pay additional for softdrinks or iced tea. The meals do not come with them but you can ask for water.

And you can have as much rice, soup and gravy as you want, just signal the servers and they will give you a refill. No it's not a rice, soup and gravy buffet where you can just go to a table and take as much as you want. It's Mang Inasal unlimited (rice) not KFC unlimited (gravy). IMHO, having someone serve refills is better to avoid wastage. The servers during our visits have been attentitive and kept the refills flowing so while there was control, no scrimping was happening.

Liempo has been my go to order. The cut is thin. The taste just right. The gravy over it is thicker and tastes different than the unli gravy. When I first had this, the meat was so tender, it sealed the deal. There were a few times when it wasn't though. But mostly it was tender.

The pork sisig is served with an egg on top of it (sisig purists are cringing now). Those who fear spice should be okay with Amelito's version.

There is one item in the menu that has thrown me off and has held me back from writing about Amelito's until now. Tapang Kabayo. They say that it tastes good. Still I am uncomfortable with the notion of eating horse meat. Just, no.

Here's a  partial menu because I'm not sure what their other items are or the price for some of the items.

Grilled Meats / Sizzlers


tbone -P130 chicken sisig - P60 pork bbq w/ egg - P55 longanisa with egg - P45
chicken bbq tapang kabayo - P60 burger steak w/ egg - P55 hotdog - P45
boneless daing beef tapa - P55 liempo - P55 lumpiang shanghai - P45
fried chicken pork tocino - P55 chicken fillet - P50 chicken liver - P45
pork sisig - P60 pork chop - P55 chicken franks - P50 longadog - P50



Aside from grilled meats and sizzlers, they also have noodles and chopsuey which are good for 3-4 persons: chopsuey, lomi, miki bihon, canton bihon, bihon guisado, canton guisado, sotanghon guisado

Drinks: Mountain Dew P15, unlimited iced tea

Just look at how much those sizzlers cost! Cheapest are at P45. If you're having one of those with Mountain Dew, that's just P60. So really, it's not true that only the well-off can afford unlimited rice meals. Because there are a lot of eateries and restaurants in the country, Amelito's is one of them, that offer unlimited rice set meals for less than P100.

Amelito's Grill and Sizzling House originally started in Catmon, Malolos and now has two more branches: St. Francis, Meycauayan and Guiguinto in front of LTO. They're open from 8AM-10PM.
