Being a vegetarian, it had been hard to find anything other than Pancit and Filipino fruit dessert anywhere in San Diego or even LA, for that matter. But this place is just something else. My family and I were just mind blown! After looking up several Filipino places in Mira Mesa and Chula Vista and being disappointed for them not having any vegetarianoptions, my wife and I are glad we finally found this one. They have several vegetarian and vegan options, and the owners are amazing and make you comfortable and suggest their best items based on your liking. We tried their pancit, tofu sisig and a few desserts. Everything was really delicious.This place has the best Filipino food I've ever had outside of the Philippines! My wife and I are definitely going back there again!

Amazing Filipino food. Good quality and good pricing. Super friendly service and nice environment. Can’t recommend this place enough: Food: 5/5

Delicious, authentic family owned Philippino restaurant. Very fair pricing for quality food. (They did not raise price during the inflation! I love their stew, soup and deserts! Our favorite are Lechon, bbq pork skewers and the newest stew they invented on the new menu this year. Deserts are also very authentic and yummy. We can’t recommend this place enough!

Stopped by for dinner and we were sort of disappointed. The Lechon kawali was great. No complaints there. We also ordered the veggie lumpia. In the photo you can see some liquid on the plate. That’s cooking oil. It was so oily and mushy. Honestly we were expecting more from the ratings.
