Carinderia with so much nostalgia. It feels like home away from home. The food is authentically Filipino, with a great variety of skewers and viands to choose from. It was so comforting and familiar that I ended up calling everyone β€œTita,” as if they were my own.

First time trying this place and it did not disappoint! 🀩🍽️πŸ”₯ I ended up getting my lunch to-go because the place was packed when I arrived β€” always a great sign! πŸ‘ I ordered the chicken adobo over rice and it was delicious. πŸ—πŸš The chicken was tender and well-flavored. I personally could have used just a little more seasoning and maybe a touch of heat 🌢️, but I’m not sure if traditional chicken adobo is supposed to be spicy β€” either way it was still really good. The rice was perfectly cooked, and the presentation was almost perfect. It probably got shuffled around a little during my walk back to the office πŸšΆπŸ½β€β™‚οΈ, but it still looked great when I opened it. The restaurant itself was clean and welcoming. ✨ The person who took my order was very friendly, and the staff member who handed me my meal when it was ready was also super friendly and professional. Great customer service! πŸ™Œ 10 out of 10 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ β€” I would’ve given it an 11 if I could! Definitely coming back to try more dishes, especially Silog Thursday (I may not be spelling or pronouncing that perfectly πŸ˜„ but I’m excited to try it!). I stopped in today March 13 around 1:00 PM, and it was busy β€” especially considering the

I am very ignorant of Filipino cuisine and this was the perfect place to learn (they offer to taste what you don't know ) and love (everything is delicious!) The dinuguan (thick pork blood stew) was an absolute delicacy, highly recommended. Canteen-style so don't expect fine china. Go there for the food and the warm welcome.

Amazing savory breakfast/brunch option. It looked like it was popular spot for locals/regulars. I did the pork skewers and it melted in my mouth! The very kind man taking our orders also sent us off with a dessert snack. As we headed out we overhead a convo and it seems like this sweet business helps give food to people in need. Im a fan of this place and will have to come back when I visit again.

This place was only a block away from the hotel we were staying at. The staff were welcoming, friendly and helpful. It was small, yet was able to seat about 20 people total. It was a busy place especially around brunch, as several people starting coming in to order and eat inside or to pick-up/takeout. The food was delicious -- comfort food that definitely reminded me of home. The portions were big and worth the price. I definitely recommend stopping by if you're looking for some good, Filipino breakfast food.
