About Tatay Dodge BBQ El Nido

The most authentic local BBQ experience in El Nido - a family-run grill where fresh fish, pork skewers, and prawns are cooked over charcoal at tables in the street. Prices are genuinely local, the portions are huge, and the experience of eating lechon manok with a cold Pale Pilsen under the stars is El Nido at its most real.
