Roberto's is among Iloilo City's iconic food places - opened on May 25, 1978 Since then, it is almost filled with patrons from sun up to sun down - either lining up the counter or sitting down, munching down their specialties. More popular nowadays because of its Queen sio pao, but Roberto's they say actually started as a hamburger joint decades ago.
So one day instead of queueing for their sio pao, I had their double cheeseburger instead. I like the how the patty comes out very tostado, for it adds more flavour and character to the burger itself. As simple as it is, just layers of burger patty and cheese with mayo and catsup - all in a bun. That's when you get all the flavours without all the conflicting flavours of additions - a signature of Robereto's eversince.
Roberto's Restaurant is located along JM Basta Street near the Iloilo City Freedom Grandstand. You may contact them through telephone numbers (033) 3350484 or 3371595.
