The Secret Sauce MNL Entrepreneurial Journey

Secret Sauce started as a humble home-based venture which was founded during the height of the pandemic in 2020. Propelled by its success in the food delivery market during lockdown, Secret Sauce MNL’s reputation grew. The company soon expanded to hold pop-up events to bring its mouth-watering burgers to locations around the metro.

The company’s secret sauce–both its entrepreneurial go-to-market strategy and the company’s name–is an unwavering commitment to quality. Secret Sauce proudly declares on its Facebook page, “Our mission is to serve you the best burgers using only the best quality ingredients!”

Secret Sauce’s flavor resonated with its customers, and the company eventually opened its first physical store–a hidden gem nestled inside a carwash along Congressional Avenue, Quezon City.

As Secret Sauce grew from an online business to a physical one, it also expanded its services, providing “party carts” for private events–a unique experience where mouthwatering sliders are cooked right before the guests.

The Sliders of Secret Sauce MNL

Sliders, which are popular across the US, are mini hamburgers akin yet uniquely different from smash burgers. Served on soft buns, Secret Sauce MNL sliders are each crave-worthy creations. For the burger-obsessed, there is a choice of lamb sliders, cheeseburger and umami sliders.

Cheeseburger is, of course, the classic combination of cheese and beef patty goodness–a must-try for any burger aficionado.
Secret Sauce Lamb Sliders are made with a mouthwatering lamb patty, tomato relish, Dutch cheese, onions, and secret sauce.
Umami Burgers are another signature creation from Secret Sauce MNL. Recognized as the fifth basic taste after sweet, sour, salty and bitter, umami is a Japanese word for the savory, meaty flavor that translates to “mouth-feel.” In this burger slider, the prized yet elusive umami flavor comes alive in its beef patty which is made with sautéed shiitake mushrooms, cheese, and secret sauce blended with crab fat sauce.
