Carin De Ria - Encinitas

I worked nearby and it was one of my favorite lunch spots. The food is delicious, the staff is very friendly, and the decor is very welcoming and relaxed. The lunch menu offers a lot for a good price. I want to make it back up here for dinner so I canexplore the menu more.

Been meaning to check this place out so we picked up takeout last night pork adobo and sizing lechon with lumpia. Everything was so good and we are really excited to have a good Filipino spot nearby! We'll for sure be back to dine in since the spot issuper cute inside.

Great Filipino food! The dishes are centered towards an American taste. We got the lumpia, kare kare, pancit canton, and salmon sisig. The lumpia was very enjoyable and super crispy. The kare kare was flavorful and delicious. For desert we got, halo haloand bibingka. The halo halo wasn't traditional, there weren't any beans, langka, jelly, or coconut, but overall taste was good.The bibingka was amazing, the best while warm. The server is kind and attentive, the food comes out very quickly. Overall, agreat restaurant and I recommend for some great Filipino cuisine. 5/5 stars!

Coming from someone who grew up eating Filipino food, I 10/10 love coming to this place! The sizzling sisig is hard to pass up as it's a showstopper when it comes out of the kitchen and everyone's head turns to see where the amazing smell is coming from.Whenever I come here we share the plates tapas style so we can experience all the different dishes. If you've never hadFilipino food, or don't know what to order, I definitely recommend the lumpia, chicken adobo, and sisig! You won't bedisappointed!

This resaurant is definitely a good introduction to Filipino food. The pork adobo and halo-halo were more mild in flavor. The pork sisig was different with the red, yellow and green bellpeppers and the meaty-meats (not the porky bits one is used to wheneating homestyle/ authentic versions. The garlic fried rice was garlicky good. The classic lumpia could have had a little morestuffing. The star dish was the lechon kawali. It was crispy and not at all dried out. It was a perfect cook. Overall, thedishes were enjoyable, just more tapered to American palate. That being said, we 'd still like to come back and try the othermenu items.
