Alas Ponce: Tapas and Wine Time


Some days can be longer than others. Good thing there’s finally a great place north of the metro that you can visit for a night of unwinding over good tapas and wine. Bienvenido a Ponce!

Ponce is on a pursuit to bring good Spanish fare, opulent wine, and amazing experiences closer to people. Because Ponce believes that good food and good stories make life great.


The restaurant is named after Maximo Ponce, a man who grew up with an inspiring appetite for life. He spent his childhood basking under the warm sun; running across the plains of Tarlac to look after farm animals, pick fresh produce, inhale the refreshing breeze, and create timeless memories.

One person who particularly got enthralled by Maximo’s wondersome spirit is his son, Dick Balajadia.

Taking after his father’s great love for adventures, Dick traveled the world hand-in-hand with the love of his life, Mars. Together, they relished some of the world’s best gastronomic experiences and even took them back home with them here in the Philippines.

Their magnificent journeys in Europe, particularly in Spain, inspired them to build Ponce the way they did.

When you first step inside Ponce, you will instantly feel an inspiriting vibe. The breezy interior and verdant accents will easily give you an alfresco ambiance that perfectly emulates what it’s like to enjoy a meal in Spain.


As your eyes scan the place, a cleverly written neon sign will definitely catch your eye and leave a lingering question: Sangria? Wine not?

And with just a bit more perusing, you will spot a speakeasy bar seated just above the dining area. Its perfectly dim and chill set up will entice you to cap the night off with handcrafted drinks and good jazz music.

But before toasting the night away, you will surely want to indulge in Ponce’s exquisite offerings first.

The place’s amiable crew will warmly welcome you to a relaxing night of great eats and good wine. Once you’re seated, the sight of Ponce’s iconic blue plates will excite you to savor the great things coming to your table.

Ponce’s menu, thoroughly curated by the owners together with Chef Angelo Santicruz, offers an exquisite selection of Spanish specialties. Classic picks such as the Paella Mars y Montaña gives an apt nod to the flavors of Spain.


Just seeing the Paella’s pan being ushered into your table will already excite your tastebuds. Let alone taking a hefty spoonful of the Paella’s perfectly-crusted rice, pork meatballs, clams, and prawns. It’s a glorious burst of flavors that will have you wanting more.



Other essential picks in the menu include the Calamar a la Andaluza, a Tapas y Entradas offering of Andalusian squid fried to crisp golden perfection served with a side of garlic aioli.

If these dishes are already stirring up your appetite, wait ‘til you hear about Ponce’s house special--the Cochinillo Asado del Chef.

Famed for being so unbelievably tender that a saucer could cut through it, Ponce’s De Cochinillo Asado del Chef is a Spanish specialty that finds its way back to Segovia, a city in Madrid.

The Cochinillo’s deliciously crisp skin crackles as it effortlessly breaks over the slightest squeeze. Glossed over by aromatic and flavorsome spices, this Ponce house special brings a flare of flavor you won’t find in the usual lechon.

Imagine savoring all of these dishes after a long day, followed by swig after a swig of Ponce’s refreshing Sangria. White or red, Ponce’s perfectly concocted Sangrias will immediately send you to full unwinding mode. The medley of bright and fruity flavors is a nice finish to Ponce’s tasty dishes.

Ponce was made to be perfect for all kinds of get-togethers. Be it a nice dinner of Paella and Sangria, a jazzy nightcap at the speakeasy bar, or maybe even a dinner meeting at one of its intimate conference areas.

Ponce wants to welcome and inspire great stories, vibrant laughter, and warm memories. The same way Maximo Ponce has all his life.

And despite being situated in one of the metro’s busiest districts, Ponce can be your quiet and relaxing escape after a long day.

Cap off your bustling 8 to 5 with us. Enjoy Alas Ponce with some Cochinillo, Paella, and overflowing Sangria! Visita Ponce en 124 Sct. Dr. Lazcano St., Brgy. Sacred Heart, Tomas Morato, Quezon City.

Hasta luego!

  1. Hello everyone out there, help me Thank Dr UGO! My name is MRS LINDA from Netherlands. I am here to give testimony on how I got my ex husband back, my husband left me for no reason 6 Months. He moved in with another woman, I felt like killing myself, my life became very bitter and sorrowful. Then 1 day, a friend of mine told me about a great spell caster that is very good and she said that he told her all about her life history and the problem she is facing, I didn't believe it because I've worked with so many of them and it didn't work. She begged me further so I decided to try this great spell caster called Great Dr UGO. I still didn't believe, but inside me I wanted to give a try and as God will have it, I used the spell solution he gave me and the next day I received a call from my darling husband Romero last month. He apologized and came back to me. I'm very happy now with my family it worked for me and I believe it will work for you too just give him a try and follow up this is a clear truth from a testifier. Thank you Dr UGO once again, if you want to reach him via email:(dr.ugo.temple@gmail.com) Or whatsapp on +2348056534515.

  2. I just lost my man about three months ago though he is back again full of love and passion with the help of great man Dr. IKHIDE. I NORAH PEDRO from Norway, have been into a relationship with daniel mark since I was 22 years old and I am 28 now. I so much love him but I could not show the love, it was very difficult for me to prove my realness to him because I thought to prove my love to him might make him look down on me and go after other girls. for over six years Daniel has given me all that I ask of him. I always threatened him with break up each time I want to see his level of love for me because I was told if I threaten him, he will propose to me and then will get married to him before I can show my love despite his complains of him not sure of my love I was responding to him with negative words. though I was suspecting he has another girl in his life, I did not border to ask him about that because I was so sure of his love despite my attitude. on the 8th of September a day to my birthday he came and gave me so many lovely gifts like never before claiming to wish me a happy birthday in advance with his words and behavior I expected him to propose to me on my birthday night then I will also tell him of my pregnant for him. I wait for him on my birthday he did not show up not even a call, I tried his number and it was not going through I refuse to go check on him because the anger in me six days later I went to his house and I found nothing not even a sign of my Daniel once live there. I was disappointed, frustrated, confused with so many thoughts on my mind like hanging my self if I did not see him again because I can not my parent about the pregnancy when the man responsible for it had disappeared. our religion's against that, my family will be disappointed in me, I have brought them shame. I look for daniel everywhere till I could chat with him on social network, he warned me never to disturb him again because he already had found another girl that he wants to live his life with, after a while, he blocked me from all access then I could not tell him of my pregnancy for him. so, I needed help from all corners of life, I decided to check to google my self or read some write up on-site on how to coup with my pain because I could not tell anybody about it not even my friends were aware of my pregnancy. I keep reading to cancel my self till I find how Dr. IKHIDE helps so many persons from different walks of life with their testimonies. then I decide to also contact him with dr.ikhide@gmail.com. Because I do not know much about contacting a spell caster, I was not sure he can bring my Dan back but I decide to give him a try though his requirement was another problem I meet with a friend for help because I could not the items that he needed I have to plead with Dr. IKHIDE to help me get the items because really need my man back to take away my shame. just two days after I send him the requirement Daniel calls me, plead for forgiveness. just yesterday he propose to me and I am so happy. you can also contact him with dr.ikhide@gmail.com

  4. Hey it’s Jason with Zogby, I wanted to let you know COVID has truly changed the wine industry! Our online store has never seen so many online sales for red wine. It’s insane. According to our internal sales data, people are consuming wine + tequila the most.
