  Amazing food, reasonable prices!
  
  I went here for the first time today with my mom, who is Filipino. We had looked at the menu online before coming so I had an idea of what I wanted, but it was a little overwhelming seeing all the food options in front of me when I was there. They're not labeled, so luckily my mom recognized the dishes and ordered for me (she speaks Tagalog).
  
  We each got a plate with half garlic fried rice, half pancit. I ordered the chicken adobo and lumpia, she ordered kare kare and lechon. They had two options for lechon - one mixed together with the sauce and one where they cut the meat off something they roasted. She got the one they roasted (sauce on the side) and it was SO good, super crispy and the liver sauce was sweet and light.
  
  We decided to eat first, then go back for dessert. The dining area is pretty small (three larger tables, two mini tables) and luckily we got a two person table a bit father from the bathroom. The staff was quick to clear off and wipe down tables once people got up.
  
  We went back after eating and boxing up our leftovers to pick up dessert: hopia ube, cassava cake, banana turon, and two more things I can't remember the name of... one is a single packaged bread with cheese on top, the other almost looks like an empanada and they said it's stuffed with chicken and potatoes. We split the banana turon (bananas deep fried like lumpia and covered in caramelized sugar) - yum! The bigger pieces are better because obviously they have more filling. I had never had hopia ube before and it was delicious... And cassava caks is my FAVORITE Filipino dessert so we took home a big order.
  
  Our main course was $22 total (no drinks), the dessert was $17 total. We had a ton of food and desserts to take home and share with our family. The portions are huge and the food is SO good. There's nothing showy about it, just really good food.

  This is my go-to place when I'm craving Fililino food just because its nearest to me. With that said, food is not always the best but good enough to satisfy cravings. My favorites are sisig and pakbet. I have tried most of their dishes and it's always okay. Service is a hit and miss. The one consistent is the guy server/cashier. Very polite and really fast. Very efficient too!
  Parking can be tough as you have to go thru a back alley to get to the parking lot. It was easy to miss as well when it's your first time going. It's in an odd office type space.

  Had breakfast here and have to admit, pretty good and even better price! I'm used to two pieces of longanisa, a scoop of garlic rice and one egg. This place hooked it up with THREE pieces of longanisa, HALF PLATE of garlic rice and TWO eggs! Will definitely come back when I'm in the area!

  As a Filipino, I try to support local businesses. This one is the closest to my work, so when I have a hankering for Filipino food, they are the luck recipients of my patronage.
  
  PROS:
  - They have a good selection of breakfast / lunch foods and dessert. I especially like coming for breakfast.
  - The employees are for the most part nice and you can tell they work hard.
  
  CONS:
  - The food quality is hit and miss. Especially the eggs during breakfast. They also run out of stuff, like garlic fried rice.
  - Last time I went there, I got the breakfast combo. As did the lady before me. It's supposed to come with coffee. They offered it to the lady. Not to me. What's the deal with that? I didn't press the issue as it was hot and I didn't want coffee anyhow but to not be given it or even offered it was a bit rude.
  - Last time I went, I tried to use the Yelp Check In Offer for a free hopia and the lady had NO clue what I was talking about, even after I showed her the app on my phone. She eventually relented but more so because she seemed to be too annoyed to fight me on it.
