Situated between the Valenzuela and Meycauayan exits of the southbound lane on the North Luzon Expressway (NLEX), NLEX Drive and Dine is more than just a gas stop. This express pit stop offers comfort to visitors and serves as a leisure center for surrounding communities. With comfortable seating, clean restrooms, and various retail options, including many outlet stores, it provides a well-rounded experience.
This is also an excellent stop if you're still searching for pasalubong. Some must-visit stores where you can find significant discounts and freebies include the Casio Outlet Store, A+ Premium Tech Depot, Giordano, and the Nike Outlet Store.
According to Renie Ticzon, MPT Mobility Division Head for Motorway Commercial Facilities, NLEX Drive and Dine is designed to be an oasis at the end of a seamless journey back to the Metro. Serving as an oasis, this stop also caters to hungry motorists and food enthusiasts.
It offers "a little bit of everything," from local classics (Empanada Nation, Dwino’s) to Japanese fare (Aibou Japanese Restaurant); from comfort food (Vuenas Café, G&G Taiwan Famous Fried Chicken) to satisfying carnivore cravings (The Beef Deli). The only challenge motorists and travelers will face is making a choice.
Milk tea lovers are in for a treat with Chachago and Macao Imperial Tea available here. Whether you're stopping for refreshments or seeking a place to celebrate with a small group, there is something here for everyone.
“We are particularly proud of the diversity present in our dining options here,” Ticzon said. “There’s a little bit of everything, catering to the various tastes and needs of motorists. You can just grab a quick snack, or sit down to enjoy a full dining experience.”
As part of an answer to the need for a smarter, more integrated urban mobility system, MPT Mobility has also pledged to stay conscientious of plastic waste through different sustainability efforts and programs.
