Kanto Breakfast , Pasig in a garage – setting

I was still a student when we used to ride Pasig -Quiapo whenever we had a long breaks in classes. My first class would start at 7:30am to 10:00am and the next one will be in late afternoon. We would take 1 ride from Quiapo and try to explore the other parts of Metro Manila.

The restaurant is  a dining place in a garage-like setting, rusted and yet a feeling of being at home. The place can accommodate between 50 to 70 people at any given time. The area is much bigger compared to Mandaluyong branch  . However during mid-morning and late afternoon towards evening, there is a long queue of people from different parts of Pasig and nearby areas.

Enter the gate beside Petron and turn right on the first corner (San Rafael Street). Then turn left along 1st Street. Before you reach Phil-Am Road, you will see Kanto Freestyle on your right side.

Another option, You can actually walk along Shaw Boulevard right side going to the old-Capitol grounds , I tried walking the stretch going to the Kapitolyo area and it took me barely 25 minutes.

If you have car , try to enter the gate of Kapitolyo along West Capitol Drive. Landmark is the Petron station long the Kapitolyo roundabout. Right after the gate, turn right on the first corner onto San Rafael Street, and left onto 1st Street. Kanto Freestyle is on the right side of the road near the corner of Phil-Am Road. There are street-side parking spaces outside Kanto Freestyle.
