For a "hole in the wall" restaurant... this is it. Imagine a hallway size place and you have a cafeteria type choose your food. This authentic Philipino food is good for those who is into the small mom and pop type restaurant. It's not going to even come close to winning any ambiance award but good is good and people are friendly. I'd go again

BEST DINUGUAN IN THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA.

BEST DINUGUAN IN THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA.

Real talk, I've eaten in hella Filipino restaurants. From fancy fusion to classic family-owned eateries, and this spot has the best dinuguan I've ever tasted. Even my lola (grandma) loves this spot--I buy some take-out for her whenever I drive down to LA.

This is a super small spot. Definition of hole-in-the-wall. Flavor for their munggo is also solid. If you "dine-in" here, they also give you a little cup of soup along with hella rice.

Folks who are highly critical probably don't know the carinderia style of Filipino restaurants where the food is displayed in the front for you to see and point to, thus also called "turo-turo" which literally translates into "point-point"

Come here, be humble, and taste hella good food. Forr bougie hipsters, go somewhere else lol.

I really like this place! It's actually a tasty turo-turo place. I actually came here with low expectations the first time, just because I have been disappointed by a few turo-turo spots in the city. But this place is good! There isn't a menu, so it might be difficult if you have no idea about Filipino food. But the gals here speak English, so don't be afraid. Have only tried a few dishes such as the adobo, palabok, and the crispy binagoongan. All of them were very good. Although binagoonan is usually very salty, as it is made with shrimp paste, so if you aren't use to it, it might be too strong for you. They do have okoy (shrimp fritters) here, which I get really excited about it, because I usually only get it in Antioch, when I'm visiting my auntie who lives there. Highly recommend that.

And for you bold risk-takers, they have balut! You know... that partially developed baby chick? You know it was on that Joe Rogan show... What is it? Oh yes.. Fear Factor. Balut is really a delicacy in many Asian countries like Philippines, Vietnam, and Cambodia. It's not just a novelty snack. People really enjoy eating it, so don't snub it, and say that's it gross. Respect other people's cultures and food traditions.

A very excellent Mom & Pop Filipino place. The food is delicious. This was my Mother's favorite place for Filipino food. They knew her very well, & still ask about her. Every time I invite family/friends here, I always remember all the times we ate here. My Mother had a funny Filipino accent, which I still use. Sometimes I hear her Humor in my Head. I would recommend this place. The tables are meant for 2. Salamat. Rest In Peace Mom, Victoria Martha Orea.
