The soft Latin music, the smell of chicken and baked
cheese, the exuberant colours...it’s all too much for me
to simply ignore. The large bright yellow and red sign
that read Happy Hour 2 pm - 7 pm is also too enticing.
Just past 2 o'clock in the afternoon on my cousins'
birthday...the perfect time to salute. Located in the
heart of White Beach, Boracay Island (in between boat
station 3 and the tourist center), Bolero restaurant
exudes an inviting, casual atmosphere. The staff being
very friendly and warm-hearted, makes you feel right
at home.

The bar - fully stocked with every conceivable type of
liquor - sits at the center of the restaurant, adorned with
a bowl of fresh lemons and pineapples. One side of the
bar faces the interior of the restaurant area, while the
other gazes onto a row of wooden bar stools as well as
the walkway and beach area. Facing the South China
sea, Bolero welcomes the natural breeze coming in off
the water. A row of swings sit in front of the exterior bar
stools, adding to the playful design of Bolero. Sitting atop
the polished bamboo tables, table cloths depict bright,
colourful patterns. The green, blue, and yellow walls give
the restaurant its cheerful, fun-loving authentic Mexican
ambience. The ceiling is lined with bamboo sticks that led
my eyes to a string of fake red peppers hanging over the
bar area. Historical portraits of Mexican figures drape the
interior, firmly establishing the cultural inspiration.

If that isn't enough to keep my eyes occupied, looking through the menu is yet another fun-loving task to do.
The Mexican dishes on the menu include quesadillas and burritos, but Western favourites are also on offer,
such as pancakes, pastas, and sandwiches, with nothing over 400 Php ($8.25 US). Main courses generally
range between 300 - 380 Php. Try the Three Taco Platter for 350 Php (approximately $7.50 US), with its zesty
seasonings and guacamole on the side that's to die for. The frozen margaritas are the drinks to remember
here, as they are made with fresh fruit rimmed with salt and guaranteed to pucker your lips. Naturally you
can't forget the shots of gold Tequila and the famous local Tanquay Rum to see you off.
