Texas Embassy


Texas Embassy, an American Casual Dining, is a  very nice place to meet and dine in with family and friends. Food is all freshly prepared, absolutely the best place for bonding and eating superb meal at the right cost. Located in Antipolo City Claveria Building, Circumferential Road Barangay Dalig, Antipolo City


So here are some food that we tried:



Embassy Spicy Baked Wings

This is the best recipe for hot wings and I have tried many others over the years. I absolutely loved the flavor in these wings.

Yosemite Fries

It's no secret that Yosemite fries served crispy on the outside, tender on the inside, are the golden standard. 
Rampage Burger
They say you eat with your eyes first and my eyes said this burger was delicious. To be honest, it’s not often that a burger is delicious as it is beautiful. I’ve enjoyed a lot of burgers, but this was a burger was actually enjoyable to eat. Like I had a good time eating it and it made me smile. Something about it is just so classic, but at the same time, carefully done.
Beef Lasagna
This is a very meaty lasagna, This is without a doubt the best lasagna I have ever tasted. I can't rave about it enough. I love the mixture of ground beef and Italian sausage in the sauce. Rich, and cheesy as well.
Lechon Embassy
Lechon embassy meat is tender and juicy on the inside and the skin will be crisp, the only difference is the absence of the smoky flavour and the skin is rough in texture. This dish is I guess closely related to the famous Chinese Crispy Skin Roast pork and the only difference I guess is the dipping sauce where lechon uses a type of sweet liver gravy. An unhealthy yet addictive dish so take this in moderation.
Lemon Chicken

Lemon chicken recipe is one of our most popular main dish chicken recipes. Light and luscious lemon sauce really pop without being too acidic; it is simply divine. Adding the lemon taste really makes it POP like you suggested with a beautiful fragrance and taste.HighlightsNo Home DeliveryDine-In AvailableServes AlcoholAir ConditionedWifi AvailableBreakfast
