My husband went to pick up food for us, and i was on ft with him and the staff was completely rude!! They weren’t welcoming and majority of everything you’d have to wait 30-40 minutes which didn’t leave us with a lot of food options. What really upset me is just how the staff treated my husband from the moment he came in to the moment checking him out. I wouldn’t recommend anyone coming here.

Recently stopped by Pampanga express for lunch. They serve authentic filipino food. I got fried fish with rice and lumpia. The fish was pretty tasty, had a nice seasoning, and lumpia was fresh. Everything was nice and hot. Everything was reasonably priced. When you walk into the restaurant, they have a hot bar set up, they have pricing near containers to make it easier to order at the register. They also offer catering. Unfortunately there is no seating available. So this is definitely a grab and go place. I can tell they sell out fast of some of their more popular dishes, so I would definitely order ahead if you can. They were out of the pan it, I'll have to go back to try some.

Place in a bit rundown area where other businesses have closed and moved or just went bankrupt Didn't even bother trying the food-- front of the space is cluttered and disorganized plus what little food was available is no better than 2 day old below avg cooking-- not worth the money-- go to Lola Adangs instead

Been here a few times in the past, but their hot dish selection is typically limited, call ahead

Food was pretty good. Staff were very friendly and helpful. I would come here again, but the prices were just too high in my opinion.

Before coming to this place we made sure to read the reviews and they were very positive. It really made my wife and I very excited to try it out. Unfortunately, it didn't live up to the hype and it's very far from what we expected it to be. When we got to the restaurant they didn't have much of a selection, maybe 4 dishes and some mini lumpia bites as I like to call them. The food was very salty and the servings weren't that big. It's not just something we want to come back. For the amount we paid for the food it's not worth it at all. Might as well go to a buffet or better yet cook at home.

My husband and I stopped in with our 5-year old twins for the first time after following on Facebook for a few weeks. We all shared two 2-entree plates with pork adobo, beef asado, coconut chicken and pancit. We also ordered a side of crispy fried pork belly. Everything was delicious and it was plenty of food for all four of us- and our kids eat A LOT! (We even took some leftovers home.) We had fantastic, friendly service and cannot wait to go back- hopefully when there is some lumpia!

We've been craving fresh lumpia for a while now and it is the hardest thing to find. After calling around, I called Pampanga and man am I glad I did. I had to place the order a day in advance, but it was well worth the wait. That was the best fresh lumpia I've had in a long long time. I also grabbed an order of asado and some ube and mongo hopia which were all really good too. The woman that helped me out was very friendly. Definitely ordering from here again!

I recently found this place and what a find it was. Let's start with the owners( Nicest people ever) so friendly. Now for the food Diniguan is out of this world SO GOOD ....Beef Asado pork adobo Kaldereta we're all amazing.
