I cannot give this restaurant enough stars for the delicious food I had! Even though the place is small, the food is fantastic and reminds me of home. The cooking is great and the people are humble and nice. Despite living on the other side of the state, I would definitely make the drive back here in a heartbeat!
When you have a craving for Filipino food, this place is definitely worth the trip!
Bakery, Restaurant, and store all in one. Food was excellent. I had Paksiw na lechon and the special halo halo. Also I took tocino and longanisa home. All of them were delicious. I was not disappointed. I will surely be back next time I'm in Tampa. Also they have a plethora of magnolia ice cream including mango, tube, and avocado.
This is my favorite dish that I always get whether dine in or to go. I just love the taste of it. It’s called sweet and sour Pampano. My husband likes most of their food too. This is our favorite Filipino restaurant as well. They are very nice people and very service oriented. I’ve tried their kakanin, but we’ve found someone that better suited our taste.
