El Chupacabra (or El Chupacabras) is a cryptid said to live in Puerto Rico, Mexico, Chile, Brazil, Texas to Florida, Michigan, Maine and even Oregon. Spanish in origin that when translated in English means "goat sucker", because of its habit of attacking and drinking the blood of livestock, including goats. The legend was started in 1987 when there was a huge, gruesome massacre of livestock all over. All the animals had two puncture wounds on their neck in which the blood had been drained.
El Chupacabra is a creature that resembles a hairless dog with blueish-gray tinted skin. It is said to have spikes running down its spine and tail. Some who have seen El Chupacabra say that when they got too close, the beast let out an unearthly howl. It is supposed to be about 3–4 feet tall. Some of these reports say that when El Chupacabra howled, its eyes turned red, making the viewer nauseous. It was first reported in Puerto Rico. It preys on cows, ducks and goats and sometimes bites right through the skull to eat the brain. It could possibly be the result of a genetic experiment gone horribly wrong. Some believe it is a surviving dinosaur or an alien pet.

I am not a food blogger yet I love nachos and tacos. In fact
whenever we go to a bar, apart from the booze I will look and ask if they have
these. When talking of nachos and tacos what better place to have one than in a
Mexican resto. And indeed there is one in the heart of Burgos in Makati which
is called El Chupacabra. The name of course is a tongue twister in itself but
once you enter this establishment you would automatically say it is Mexican
themed. From the chairs and tables, the bar counter, the tequila on display and
down to the music…Mexican vibe!
The staff is friendly although they do need to work on their
attentiveness and accuracy yet no one bothers since everyone that comes here is
after the food, the booze and the company.
A very humble place yet El Chupacabra is always packed from 5pm
onwards. So when we went there we were lucky to have a table readily available.
It was a simple feast of Chorizo Gringas, Nachos and 4 bottles of beer and all
for the price of…P498.
So I leave this place with my heart’s content and I will
definitely be back if I feel like eating those Gringas. I need not make an in depth study of the menu but I say authentic Mexican. O and I forgot to mention, our friends Tomek Malek and Marek Poslusvny have been here as well.
What is next on my list? How about some Indian food? Stay tuned.
I learned a lot of things about mixing drinks. We are very lucky to know things about this and it is a great opportunity for HRM students like us. It will be very helpful for us. It gave me the interest about mixing different kind of drinks. I also learned that mixology is not only about mixing drinks but it is also an art.
