Paragraphs:
Customers come for the Filipino comfort food with a bar vibe, and the tacos are the star of the show. The sisig tacos, especially on the $5 Taco Tuesday, get a lot of love, with the fish tacos close behind. Diners enjoy the juicy pork BBQ skewers, rich kare-kare, and noodle staples like palabok and pancit bihon. Pork lovers call out the crispy belly and crispy pata as melt-in-your-mouth highlights, and there’s even tapsilog for that classic rice-and-egg craving. Some folks also mention party trays for events and say the kitchen handles large orders well.

Diners enjoy the cozy, homey feel tucked inside a Western-style bar, sometimes with live music adding to the atmosphere. Staff are frequently described as friendly, helpful, and attentive, and many visits are quick and smooth—especially after work or during Taco Tuesday. Although, a few visits tell another story: a long midweek lunch delay where a later-arriving table was served first left one customer frustrated, with no visible manager stepping in to explain. People like the caesars and say there’s a decent beer selection, though a couple of drinkers wish there were more local options and felt prices leaned high.

Some customers mention small quirks: the entrance can be confusing the first time, and getting around with a stroller is a bit tight. Others appreciate that they can order via delivery apps or even arrange longer-distance delivery for parties. Overall, diners praise the flavors and portions—especially anything pork—while noting that when service timing slips, it can overshadow a meal that’s otherwise consistently delicious.
