Yep! Typical Filipino restaurant . Barr minimum but food was really good. The cook came out said hello to everyone. First time coming here and will be back again. My favorite was the Sinigang and my hubby liked the Lechon paksiw. It’s not cheap but they give you a lot of food.

I loved the lumpia and lechon. The deserts look great. Prices are about $15 per person. Nice Christmas decor inside. Would definitely return! Great restaurant in Tampa!

Went with a friend who is from the Philippines. We always try whenever we find a Filipino restaurant. This was not a sit down and order shop but an order at the counter from pre-made dishes type place. The choices were a lot less but the food was still great. The owners were super awesome and sat with us to have their lunch. The amount of people coming in for to-go was impressive. Nothing fancy but authentic and food made with love.

Brought my family before my mom leaves back for the Philippines after being in the states for 40 years. The food is amazing, the atmosphere is amazing, and the service feels like home. Its bittersweet but its nice to take a break and trust someone to make food from home!! Plus the kids were excited to get Halo halo closer than St. Pete or by the International Airport!!! ❤️ Salamat Po!!! Plus the live singing was soothing and fun!

This Filipino restaurant is a true hidden gem! The adobo was perfectly seasoned and tender, while the mechado was rich, flavorful, and full of comfort. I absolutely loved the palabok, which had the perfect blend of savory sauce and fresh toppings. Ms. Veronica,the cook owner was incredibly friendly and sociable, making the dining experience even more enjoyable. I’ll definitely be coming back—everything tasted like home-cooked perfection!

First time visiting here 2 weekends ago and it was absolutely AMAZING!!! I’m half filipino and did not grow up around Filipino foods so I’m kind of afraid to try out this type of food but this place rocks!! The pork adobo was fantastic along with the noodle dish that I got… oh and the Halo Halo was so much better than I’ve had elsewhere!! I’m so glad that my adopted sisters family brought me here. I’m looking forward to another visit to Tampa so I can try some new things here! Food is great, the staff is so friendly and they even have live music, the girl was singing was awesome!

Really enjoy this place! I mostly do take out but today I decided to eat in. Sundays are very lively as they have open karaoke. (You can definitely sing whatever you want.)
It’s just a cute and cozy environment. The food is always delicious, the people there are so great and inviting. You can tell they care about their patrons.
I usually get the dinuguan. Today I also ordered the chicken adobo and pinakbet. The dishes come with a side of rice. I pre ordered my halo-halo but didn’t get it until towards the end of my meal. Which they were able to make fresh when I was ready.
Can’t wait to be back again!
Their lechon kawali and crispy pata are made to order so it’s nice and fresh. Will have to come back and order it next time!
