I miss this! - Mooon Cafe

I was browsing at old pictures and i saw my Iloilo photo album and Mooon Cafe, a Mexican inspired restaurant.

I'm telling you its the best ever meal ever. And though the restaurant is not big enough, its homey and wonderful and the ambiance is great for comfort eating. Moon Cafe is definitely one of the place i'll go to when i visit Iloilo again. Fish Mozzrella Melt  Mexican Baby Back Ribs    Mooon CafĂ© – Iloilo City Sounthpoint Bldg.
