Diner notes
5 out of 5
What a gem! We shared the Fully Stacked Lechon Belly Combo. Everything was sooo flavorful! The Lechon was the perfect combination of crispy and juicy, the Longanisa was super flavorful and the garlic rice with the adobo sauce hit the spot! Don’t sleep on the beef empanadas either! Will definitely be back sometime! Seating can be hard to come by (so maybe plan on taking it to go), but a busy spot is also a sign of just how good the food is!

Ordered the fully stacked Lechon Kawali w the garlic rice n longanisa, it did not disappoint. I also ordered their Arroz Caldo delicious as well

Wowzers. The lechon is crispy, succulent, and chefs kiss with the dipping sauce. You get a better deal ordering by weight - $15.99 per half lb today (it changes based on market price). Also tried the sisig (yum), the garlic rice (seasoned nicely), sweet longanisa (my favorite thing, must order), the beef empanadas (flavorful, a bit small), and desserts - pandan cake (winner) and ube cheese cake (the flavor is spot on but the the texture is slightly too chalky). They cater!
