Delicous. Ordered a combo with corned beef and longanisa and a combo with chicken adobo and sisig. Chicken adobo especially was good, tasted just like how my grandma used to make it . Had sides of sinigang and it definitely was made in-house and not some powder. Recommend and will make an effort to come back next time we’re in town

This place has become an absolute joke ever since the Conching's management days. Food are subpar now and they placed a premium on the more popular food choices like sisig and lechon kawali. REALLY!?!?! Would rather much go to Tita's where food tastes good, they give a good amount of food and not stingy.

The Halo-Halo is the only reason to eat here. But they're really starting to skimp on those ingredients! I purchased 7 orders of Halo-Halo, and each averaged less than 2 palm-nuts in each. (Most cups only had 1.5.) They're adding more & more ice to save ingredients, but make the cup look full. I understand why they might be changing their business name again.

The sinigang is really good and the halo-halo special is the best. My husband doesn't like the menudo he said it taste bland. His favorite filipino food is menudo too

Lots of different authentic food to choose from. Taste is good. Service is great. Only issue I found is the door entrance. It looks so filthy and dirty like it has never been washed or cleaned in decades. I didn't even want to touch the doorknob to enter. So I used a tissue to open the door. The owner must pay attention to cleanliness of their restaurant. Otherwise, it can turn off customers.

Big portions with decent quality. Flavors were 6 or 7 out of 10. The workers were very nice too.

Great authentic Filipino food! The staff is always nice and I always see them cleaning, which is reassuring. I hate that people don't go here simply because it's not "fancy". The food is delicious. My family is very Filipino and we prefer this over other restaurants.

The best! Wow just got introduced to this place and have come back twice. It's so good. Everything I have eaten is delicious. Local small business with a halo halo ice cream place attached on the side. They give you a lot of food! Definitely you will have left overs. It is kind of like cafeteria style everything's there and they scoop what you want. Everything that I have tried is absolutely delicious. I already want to go back and try a couple more things. They have a good variety of authentic Filipino food. Nice wide variety of drinks too! They are all bottled but usually most places have soda or water. Here there's a lot of different things to pick from. Can pay cash or there's a very small .50 charge to pay with card. Great place lots of sitting area with tables to eat. Definitely not fancy and there's no waiters and everything is in to go plates but it is delicious. Amazing service! Workers always so nice and sweet!

The food here is okay. However, there Halo halo is the best.

The food here is okay. We had the pancit, milkfish, pork adobo, and the pork sinigang. Pancit lacked flavor. Milkfish was good. Pork adobo was a bit dry and tough. The sinigang was pretty tasty. It was a bit pricey for amount of food and taste. We also got some Halo-Halo and something sweet was missing.

Friendly staff serving authentic food in a no-frills environment that is clean and comfortable.Kid-friendliness: You don't have to worry if your child makes a mess. Easy to clean up the table and floor.

Went in with my family at 6:30pm. We wanted to get some Halo Halo. Was told we can get it TOGO! What?? Because they close at 7pm and they need to start cleaning. Not a great way to run a business!

Not in a good looking neighborhood but but food is ok to me. I ordered the sinigang na bangus and it wasn't great. Still had the scales on the fish and I know your suppose to remove the scales when you cook. The sisig was not good to me. Lacking the taste of kalamansi and some other stuff. Wasted $20 dollars and also it's been 45 minutes and my halo halo is not ready. Wtf. No bueno

Hands down the best halo halo in SD. Just like Conchings. The ice cream flavors are delightful! We ordered special halo halo with avocado, ube and mais keso. Yummy!!!
