Conveniently located at the corner of P. Ocampo and Primero Rivera Streets in Barangay La Paz, an area roughly between the SLEX and Chino Roces Avenue, Goto Monster functions as that eatery open to all comers at all hours of the day. Serving comfort food in the form of congee jazzed up with various add-ons, diners can have their wholesome bowl of shiitake-laced carbs, or belly-pleasing bagnet to quell their rumbling empty stomachs.
Functioning as that reliable go-to place for foodies on a budget, Goto Monster aims to please with simple fare, prepared with care, and served consistently. Whether recovering from a night of getting smashed after a killer presentation, or requiring some fortification during an ongoing battle with a deadline—this form of Pinoy soul food is a welcome addition to your empty tummy, rain or shine.
