What Diners Say

★★★★★ "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!)

★★★★★ "Amazing savory breakfast/brunch option. It looked like it was popular spot for locals/regulars.

★★★★ Venessa Manzano 11 months ago

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/takeo...

★★★★★ "For a quick morning breakfast or afternoon snack or a full-fledged dinner the food was terrific!

★★★★ "I had the number 2: Tiglog (fried pork) with egg and garlic rice for breakfast, if you like you meat on the sweet side you will love this plate. It was so delicious and plentiful. After the big breakfast I could barely have room for lunch at 2pm.
