El Flaco is a Middle Eastern foodie place open to serve Iloilo unique and original delicacies. Their mouth-watering Middle Eastern dishes are authentic enough to introduce new flavors to the Ilonggo pallet. You do not have to fly to places anymore to have a taste for their flavors. This is not the usual shawarma and kebab you can buy everywhere to satisfy your cravings. This is something to offer you an exceptional food experience.

As mentioned, this is a Middle Eastern place so the menu offers their food such as shawarma, kebab, falafels, and hummus. You can order additional pita bread, hummus, and their special sauces. Kindly refer to the photo for complete menu details.
Their serving is huge. If you come in a group, the meals are all ideal for sharing. Each serving is filling and you might not even resist to order for some takeaways for people at home.
What We Had
We had a good combination of falafels, kebabs hummus, and pita breads. Sauces are so delicious that you cannot stop yourself from ordering additional plates.
Falafels is a meal that is very high in protein and fiber and El Flaco serves it with their trademark hummus dip, garlic sauce, and pickled vegetables.
Kebab is probably the most popular on their menu giving us the Arabian Nights feels at every bite. This is served with two large-sized pita breads and fries.
