My husband and I have been dying to try this place. So recently, we went on a Friday afternoon around noon. There were only a few tables sat. Very quiet. I wish I could rate the restaurant higher, but for me, I feel like the reviews hyped it up and it definitely didn't hit the mark with me. I could be bias because I'm Filipino and have eaten at tons of Filipino restaurants. I expected more from this fusion.
The chips they gave to munch on were yummy.
They had no Filipino drinks, which I thought was strange since they have a few takes on Filipino dishes. They only had like apple juice or oj. Why not offer Calamansi or melon or coconut?!?
Anyways, my husband ordered the langonisa burger which he gave 4 stars. It came with mac salad which I felt was bland and lacked any real flavor. He compared it to like a Hawaiian salad, and he even thought that Albertsons mac was better.
I ordered the pupusas with some kind of meat and cheese and honestly didn't taste like anything. The plantains were the best thing on the plate, fried and sweet. But when I sent it back for not tasting at all, they took it haha.
So then they apologized and asked me what else I would like. I tried the tocino take they had. It's not like your normal tocino. The "tocino" flavor was on fried pork belly, which consists of mostly just fat. It may have tastes better if it was crunchy. But it was literally all fat. I couldn't eat it either. The garlic rice was no good either. (Better at baby stacks or any Filipino buffet).
It just lacked any real taste. I also thought it was weird that the waitress didn't ask how the food was after the second plate was considering the first one was horrible. She prob thinks I'm a complainer lol but I just tell it like it tastes.
I won't return. But my husband might with some of his friends who've never had Filipino food lol. Price seems like it is at any other restaurant in the area, average of like 15 bucks a plate.
