If I say the word Rufo’s Famous Tapa, you will immediately think of tapa
or tosilog or tapsilog right?
We are all familiar with their famous Rufo's Tapsilog when
ever we dine in or have our take out at their Rufo’s Famous Tapa Makati in
Kalayaan Branch for 29 years which was closed down recently because the landlord
no longer renew the lease agreement. Well, wipe our those sad faces of yours
because, Rufo’s Famous Tapa found a new home which is bigger and better in A.
Venue Mall along Makati Ave.

Yes, Rufo’s Famous Tapa can now be found in its current location
in A. Venue Mall, Makati Ave
24/7. It’s a 2-level restaurant which can accommodate 150 people with multiple
aircon and alfresco sections, function rooms for parties and seminars and a 2nd
floor balcony. Rufo’s A.Venue commits to maintain the same affordable prices,
24/7 operations and laid-back ambiance of the Kalayaan Ave. store while offering a
safer (24-hour Security), more mainstream site beside well-known international
cafes and restaurants.
Rufo’s Famous Tapa might have been known for its famous
tapsilog ,but there are other dish on the menu that I found interesting and
delectable.
First , let me serve
you my favorite Mushroom Adobo, costing P 104.00. This mushroom adobo can be a
viand or a pulutan at the same time. For those turning veggies like me, this is
a perfect way to get a taste of abodo minus the meat. Perfect with rice and the
serving is good for 2 people.

Next is my Chopsuey, costing only P 75.00 ( cheaper with the
cost of milk tea and yet healthy). Combination of different vegetable, it could
served 2 person and perfect with garlic rice. The vegetable still maintain
their crispiness and flavorful up to the last bite.

Now , let’s go to my main dish. My Boneless Bangus cost P
109.00 but if you order extra rice, it could still serve 2 people. I love the atchara
that goes with it and often order for some extra serving, for I can’t get
enough ATCHARA at Rufo’s Famous Tapa. The marinated bangus from Dagupan is a
sure hit whenever I dine at Rufo’s. By the way, if your usually ask for extra
rice in other restaurant, why not try extra garlic at Rufo’s .

Lastly for my favorite take, the Rufo’s Burger that cost P
45,00. This burger is what my kid usually ask as pasalubong. The patty is just
right with the lettuce and all. Hope to try the other variants as well.
For your information, Rufo’s A.Venue opened immediately
after the Kalayaan branch closed and while this indeed marked the end of an
era, it also signified the beginning of Rufo's rapid expansion through
franchising as more stores are geared to open this year. After establishing
branches in A.Venue Shaw, Eastwood, Ortigas, Las Pinas, Vito Cruz, SM Makati,
McKinley Hill, and Macapagal Ave. ,
more are under construction in SM North Edsa, Retiro, UST and Timog. It’s
President, Paul Izon Reyes projects that by April of this year, there will be
15 Rufo’s stores in Metro Manila and nearby municipalities through its Rufo’s
Famous Franchise Program. Partnering with Francorp, the World Leader in Franchise
Consultancy and with the help of ChinaBank Savings’ supportive SME programs,
Reyes plans to have 30 by end of 2013.
With the transfer of the iconic Rufo’s Makati to a bigger
and better location, fueled by Reyes’ entrepreneurial spirit, backed by a brand
that delivers quality and value, and with the opening of 30 total branches, Rufo’s
might just be able to reach that dream, sooner than people think.
