Just ate my dinner here tonight (found it by accident). Ordered monggo and lechon (they also have bangus and pork barbeque and pansit). The skin of the lechon is still crispy!
The Ates are very warm, a typical pinoy culture - reminds me of home.
Definitely i am going back if i am staying in this area.
I strongly recommend this to those looking for Filipino resto.
Halo halo is the best here in town, taste and value wise👍😋😋😋 This place is great for Filipino food cravings in downtown SF. I usually go for the snacks/merienda and depending on the weather. I usually have the arroz caldo, shredded chicken ginger base rice lugaw/ porridge with boiled egg. And 1$ turon(banana) and lumpia (vegetables) with original vinegar and garlic sauce than the sweet & sour sauce.
I thought the food was excellent and the portions sizes were huge. I would totally go back for another dinner and a movie. Located inside the Metreon.
I have never had Filipino food before so I cannot compare. Menu was a little confusing. Regardless, the food was fulfilling and delicious. I had the pork skewers and some other meat. Would eat here again.
Finally got a chance to grab some grub here. And. Glad I did since it's tough to find good Filipino food anywhere. There were a few hungry diverse folks in line, but you get a chance to watch the Filipino cook grill the fresh meats (BBQ chicken, "sisig" meats, etc.). Service is great, portions are GENEROUS and best of all, the food is really good, and like some of you said, it's bona-fide Filipino cooking. Enjoy :)
My favorite to get here is the Bicol Express with Garlic rice but I've also tried their lumpia and chicken adobo which were delightful as well. Standard Filipino fare with a good assortment of different dishes and the staff are very polite.
I can't attest for the authenticity of the food here but everything is very tasty and I love the spicy kick that some of the dishes have like the pork sisig and the bicol express. There is an adorable old lady there(I think she is the owner) who is very friendly and always gives you extra food. The rest of the staff are not as friendly and not as generous.
The food is freshly made everyday, without fail. They serve barbecued chicken, pork and riast sucling pig.
The breakfast is reasonable at $7 which includes garlic rice, 2 fried eggs and a choice of longanisa or sweet sausage, milkfish or fried pork or chicken. The lumpia or Shanghai egg rolls are good.
The sour soup with rice and vegetables is always good to order.
I love their dessert: Halo-halo, shaved ice and milk with an assorment of sweet mung beans and white beans, jello, custard, fresh coconut strands at the bottom, and then topped with rice crispies and either ube or mango ice cream.
Decent price for food in San Francisco. Great taste as well. Loved the Bicol Express and fried bangus belly. Also ordered some bam-i.
First time and the price is acceptable for the amount of food. Got the garlic fried rice, BBQ chicken, and pancit and they were good.
