If you want to experience Filipino street food then this is the place for you. Not only does the food taste exactly like home, the atmosphere and the vibe of this place will bring you an experience like being in the Philippines. The owner Rich is really nice and caters to all the customers and all the staff are just great. The best part is you get to cook your own skewers! I always make new friends every time I go. It’s honestly the best experience and you leave full and happy!

EsKiNiTa offers authenticity. The BBQ Skewers are delicious. The verity of Skewers always impress me. Its a street style spot. You grill your own Skewers to your liking. My personal favorite are the pork belly, chicken and pork meat. The owner is super friendly and always makes sure you are good and will guide you if needed. Highly recommend this spot.

If you’re craving an unforgettable Filipino street food experience, Eskinita in San Diego is a must-visit. From the moment you arrive, the energy is palpable, lively music, the aroma of sizzling meat, and the warm welcome from staff make you feel like you’ve stepped into a bustling night market in Manila.
What truly sets Eskinita apart is the interactive dining experience. Each comes with its own charcoal grill, allowing guests to cook their skewers to perfection. There’s something incredibly satisfying about hearing the sizzle and watching the pork belly, longanisa, and isaw caramelize right in front of you. It’s not just dinner. It’s a shared ritual that brings people together.
The food itself is phenomenal. Every skewer bursts with authentic Filipino flavor, from the sweet savory glaze on the BBQ pork to the rich umami of the beef pares. The ingredients are fresh, the marinades are spot-on, and the variety is impressive. Don’t skip the ube ice cream for dessert. It’s the perfect cool-down after the heat of the grill.
The atmosphere is vibrant and welcoming, with friendly staff who treat you like family. Whether you’re Filipino or just discovering the cuisine, Eskinita offers a genuine taste of the Philippines with a twist of DIY fun. It’s more than a meal, it’s a celebration of culture, flavor, and community.
Highly recommended for anyone looking to spice up their dinner plans with something deliciously different.

The vibe was exactly like what others mentioned in the reviews—on point! I actually found them on Instagram while searching for “isawan” in San Diego. I absolutely love the atmosphere here. It was our first time, and the moment we stepped out of the car, we were warmly greeted by Kuya (I think he’s the owner). He asked, “Family, is it your first time?” and when we said yes, he guided us through the menu and pointed out their specialties. We got to sample the beef pares and sisig, and they were absolutely bomb! We ended up ordering the beef pares, sisig, and beef mami… saraaaapp!!! Salamat po for treating us like family and making us feel so welcome. We will definitely be back!

If you’re looking for delicious and authentic Filipino food, Eskinita is the perfect place to be. The owner Rich and their staff were extremely friendly and welcoming, making our experience that much better. This was one of the best Filipino foods we’ve ever had and we will definitely be stopping by every time we’re in SD.
