As a non Filipino person , I must say this place has got some amazing food. They go out of their way to make sure you are being taken care of and you will love the food. The food is fresh . The meat is delicate and tasty. Everything about this place is awesome will come back again for sure !!!

I absolutely love this place. The food is super yummy. I love the banana turron from here! Super crunchy and perfectly sweet. I got the pancit as well and it was great. Highly recommend if you're in the area and craving Filipino food!

We passed by Filipino Express while traveling to San Diego and the food was good and staff are very nice. They offer dine in, pick up orders and to go orders.

Best food I’ve had in a long long time. The lady who served me gave me by far the nicest reception I’ve ever had. Would go to this place 1000x more, so stoked on it.

This was our first time visiting and we couldn't have enjoyed it more. Owners Danny and his wife are two of the kindest and most humble people you will ever meet! The pancit was not dry and very flavorful. The turon was amazing too. We will definitely be back again and again!

Filipino comfort food and classics. The owner is very nice as others have said. Flavor wise the food taste like a home cooked meal is how id best describe it. If your comparing it to a sit down Filipino restaurant like Gerry's the flavors here will be more subtle. The food rotates daily and she doesn't have a big spread like others. I think at most I saw 10 different foods. After some talking her bulk of business is catering and would imagine the food taste better freshly catered. I tried the diniguan, and pork adobo. The saltiness just right and the meat tender i didn't even have to chew. Id come here again for a casual meal when the Filipino craving hits again. It seems the business is dependent on the owner cooking, I would understand some frustration if the business hours don't open when they should if it's a one man show.

Amazing food. Every option is delicious and nutritious. It has a homemade feel, like mama used to make. The staff is extremely friendly. Great experience all together.

I am from San Diego and a lovely lady helped me and my mom. They are very kind and understanding of what food we were looking for! There Buto is amazing and one day we will be back to try it!

The most delicious food I have had. Longganista and lumpia must be tried. Leoni is the most sweetest lady you will ever meet. She makes you feel at home and always ready for suggestions on what to eat for the newbie

Have you had Turon before? Turon is often called banana spring rolls, fried banana rolls, or banana lumpia. It’s a popular Filipino snack that's sweet and crunchy; made with ripe banana, jackfruit, and brown sugar and rolled together in a flour lumpia wrapper and fried to a golden crisp. So yummy! I picked some up for an event and they were a big hit!! Leonie is so sweet and helpful. I usually get lumpia from there. They go fast at a party! It’s a great place for authentic Filipino dishes. Grab takeout or order for a party or event.

GREAT place to get food for your business and ur family. The food is fresh and yummy. I would recommend this place.for people looking for a place to cater for their event. I'm not sure if they deliver.

Over all it was ok.. had the menudo and the dinuguan .. the menudo was a bit bland. The dinuguan .. i think it was chicken.. never tried that before... didnt really wow me. but the lady that helped me... was fantastic.. great customer service! She offered to cook me what I wanted... I'll still go back and try another dish cause of the lady....

I pass by this restaurant every single day while working. This weekend the wife and I tried it out. We were extremely disappointed with the food quality and service. Everything in the menu tasted like vinegar, in short we through the food away after tasting it. We are not Filipinos but we LOVE filipino food. We will not be back to this place.

The lovely woman at the front was kind, thoughtful, careful, and overall very pleasant. I only my wish the back house staff had the same qualities... The food taste/quality was "o.k." at very best. Based off a product sticker still being on my bell pepper (as seen in my photo), bell pepper seeds randomly in the dish, and dry beef I can tell they dont put much thought or care into the food they prep and cook. I imagine if they dont care enough to prep and clean the food properly then the kitchen and everything else must be a reflection of their lack of care. The Pancit was very bland, greasy. The Chicken Adobo felt like it was uninspired. Sorry but I will not be returning 😓

This place is a solid 2. I would have given this place a 1* but the “nice” lady saved the day. Come to think of it, I think she was being nice because she knows this place is on a serious downward trend. The food looked sad when I saw it behind the display but I wanted to try Filipino food for the first time. Rice was mushy and the pancit was dry and flavorless. The pork adobo was just salty and flavorless, some pieces were tender while some were tough. Longaniza was the saving grace here but it still tasted old. She could have given me one more because I can’t believe I paid $16 for a two item combo when I am calculating the food cost to be around $5-$6. I don’t think this place will survive. Beware of food places that are not attentive to customers, the food does not look fresh, and the person serving you is overly nice. Avoid this one.
