Now this is a hidden gem!!It's a very chill spot. It has a patio that opens late for the last call. Sports on the big screen. But it's really 5 stars for its food and entertainment atmosphere.Service is 5 stars as well. The kitchen is cooked to order. I strongly recommend this place. Sometimes it's not always the fanciest place but the most down to earth

We tried a lot of the popular dishes: chicken adobo and pork skewers as well as pancit bihon and it was all really delicious and good portions. There was karaoke and that was really fun and lively. Good prices on beer too. Def recommend if you wanna have some great food and a great time. Because of karaoke it can get a little loud but that's part of the fun

The best food in town! Outdoor seating is excellent especially in the summer or when the weather is gorgeous. Family friendly restaurant and at night, it’s lots of fun environment to dine-in and relax.The owner emphasized that it’s not a Peanut free facility.

I took me a while to post this because I Wanted to give Marcelinas a chance and the benefit of the doubt. On Friday Nov 19th My sons 10 birthday, he asked for Marcelinas Caldereta. We have had it for years with no issues but this time was different. After a long day of soccer we decided to eat at the house because the kids have soccer in the morning. We live less than 5 minutes away from the restaurant and only ordered the caldereta. After one bite Aariah reacted with stomach pain and his throat feeling funny. We called the restaurant and they confirmed there was no peanuts in the food. We took him straight to the hospital where they confirmed he was in anaphylactic shock. He is only allergic to nuts. I called the restaurant a few times after the incident where a lady told me she would have the owner call me and had my information. She did not call. I decided to go there today to get answers where she told me “Youre his mother, you should know what your giving him” “who knows what you have in your house” Not an apology or even acknowledging that there might have been cross contamination with the spoons and the Kare Kare. How could my son have an allergic reaction to the only thing he’s allergic too when that was literally all he ate. May God bless her conscience and what goes around comes around. In the end she asked me to provide me with my information and told us we are not allowed to eat there. Please share and make aware what kind of owner is behind this business as a fellow kabayan.

Marcelina's is a lovely hidden gem. For anybody who wants to go walk into an establishment with consistently delicious food and services than search no more. The hospitality and smiles that the Philippines is known for can be found right here. This is what truly authenticates the genuine experience of dining here. I have never seen an owner work so hard in keeping her customers happy and all the while looking amazing and beautiful. Support your local small businesses especially the hospitality industry who we all know are the essential workers that have been able to normalize our lives during the pandemic.

Marcelina's is the place to be to experience delicious authentic Filipino food, a welcoming family oriented environment and to have the best time with friends and family. Each and every-time I have visited Marcelina's the owner and all the staff never fail to create a personalized and warm experience making it feel like I am part of the community. They take pride in each and every dish they serve and it comes out hot and delicious every time. I recommend Marcelina's to each and every person I know!Reading the previous negative reviews I would absolutely disagree with the hateful comments made - the owner is a loving and caring mother and does not deserve to have negative review made on her restaurant.

This spot constantly delivers. They serve fresh dishes for fair prices, there is no waiting time even when they are busy. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for good Filipino food. My Filipino friends recommended it to me and it has been awesome! I come from a greek household and this place has me hooked on Filipino food!

BIG NOOOOOOO!!

BEWARE OF CROSS CONTAMINATION & rude service. If your child has allergies don’t even bother eating here. Their food that was said to have no contact with peanuts was served to a child and that child was rushed to the hospital. The owner was rude and obnoxious to the mother telling her that she was not welcomed there anymore and that she shouldn’t have fed her child that. AND THEN the owner went to Google to post a fake review alongside her daughter. Bruh, you could just apologize and move on like normal people.

They are unprofessional and hearthless,one incident need a proper action from the owner but owner dont even show respect and concern to the mother and child that eat caldereta and they tell the mother that they are not allowed to eat there anymore.
