Their Longganisa (I think $1 per?) is the best thing on this planet. It is 10pm and I am thinking about them.
Superb atmosphere and very personal service. The meals were crisp and delightful. Will surely recommend this place to my friends. Fair prices and big meals. Keep it up.
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 Philippine food ever had, the turon its just unbelievable delicious, the lumpia are delicious, best curry chicken and the chicken apritada is just wonderful, delicious food!!
The vegetable egg rolls are great! Seating's a bit limited, so take your food to go, and enjoy the Excelsior!
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 came in here today. Got a plate with the noodles some beef and idk it is made with the innerds of cows. It is so good. The lumpia is amazing. Iove baby's
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.
I certainly enjoyed their dishes and service, good area very close to my home. The cashiers are always very friendly. Will come visit again.
Been going here for years

Thank you
Very delicious Filipino food! And has very kind employees.
This always has been a delightful meal. Get there early. Delicious adobo goes by quick. Gina
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.
Definitely the best hole in the wall for some authentic Philippino Food... I love every selection of food they have to offer. The beef soup on a cold day is so yummy... the Shanghai Lumpia is the best, the chicken Adobe is the bomb, the sweet sausages, fried plantains, Pancit... omgeee I love it all....
