Conclusion:
Overall I enjoyed my time at Tinuno. The eating experience was definitely something unique. For $15 when ordering the Kamayan feast, you get an array of different seafoods, a pile of rice, types of pork and some vegetables. Food tasted good for the most part. Parts of the fish were dry and it felt like there wasn't enough of the squid, shrimp and clams opposed to the amount of fish we got. Both types of pork were tasty and the garlic rice fragrant and also went well with everything. For dessert, I got the turon, a jack fruit fill fried stick. It was tasty and enjoyable for the most part.
The food was good for the most part. I would consider Tinuno a place to take people to for the experience and less for the food. The food isn't memorable or tasty enough for me to consider coming back. I would however take a visiting friend here for the experience. I would recommend this place for the novelty.
Tip: I'd recommend making reservations ahead of time and telling them that your party will be having the Kamayan feast. Our food came out about 5-10 minutes after we sat down! Also forming the rice into a ball shape makes for an easy eating! No spills
