MANILA, PHILIPPINES – Chef Robby Goco, Manny Torrejon, and Raymund Magdaluyo come together to officially launch Cangrejos Locos – an innovative restaurant concept featuring a fun and vibrant take on Spanish cuisine.
Cangrejos Locos, meaning “crazy crabs”, is a modern full-service Spanish restaurant that differentiates itself from others in the Metro by offering quick, unpretentious meals at approachable price points. “The idea is a Spanish restaurant that is comfortable and accessible where people can come in, have an enjoyable meal and dine with us on a regular basis!” says Goco.
The restaurant has a colorful, casual and welcoming vibe. The design is inspired by Spanish street-side eateries complemented with modern artwork and accents.
This stellar partnership of seasoned restaurateurs with their own expertise, is what makes a difference in the cuisine served at Cangrejos Locos. The paellas, developed by Chef Robby Goco, are made Barcelona-style, with a layer of socarrat (or “tutong”) and rich flavors. An order takes less than 12 minutes to cook, to ensure a seamless dining experience. With Raymund Magdaluyo of The Red Crab Group of Restaurants on-board, only the freshest crabs and seafood will be served; while Manny Torrejon of Manolo’s takes charge of the tapas.
Start off your meal with classic tapas like Croquetas, Salpicao, Gambas al Ajillo, Gildas, and Boquerones. Pair them with a glass of wine from an all-Spanish wine list. The paellas, such as Arroz a Banda and Mushroom and Asparagus are best paired with carnes such as Costillas de Cerdo and Roast Beef Belly; while the Paella Mixta and Valenciana are best paired with dishes like Fabada and Callos.
Finish your meal with traditional Spanish desserts like Churros and Crema Catalana or enjoy Basque Cheesecake and other homemade cakes by Marlene Monfort.
Cangrejos Locos is located at Molito Lifestyle Center, Muntinlupa City.
