Got the Combo 6. The two beef dishes, the beef was very dry. The crispy pork belly, garlic rice and the egg roll-like dish were pretty good. For the scoop of ice cream there were two flavors to choose from on the day I was there (cookie and strawberry). Good bang for your buck, I was completely full by the end. If you are in the mood for taste may want to look elsewhere.

Absolutely amazing food - the lechon & lumpia in particular are juicy, crunchy, and paired with a delightfully sweet sauce. Don't forget to get the Halo Halo as well, SO good!As if that weren't enough the service is also spectacular. Such a cute place with a fun outdoor dining area perfect for casual eats or scratching that Filipino comfort food itch!(Pictured: Combo 1, 5, and Halo Halo!)

Uncle Ed was very fun and informativeAll the staff are really kind and all the food is really good to the point where I wish had more stomachs to savor all of it. Would definitely be a regular if I lived in the area!

Great food! My moms first time and couldn’t stop raving about the chicken adobo and the halo halo. It’s pricey but good. And the staff is very nice.

We ordered when they opened @ 11am. We chose the Pork Sisig, Lechon Kawali and the Fried Chicken to go. It took about 20 minutes to receive our order.While we were waiting, we didn't catch his name but we believe he's the owner. As soon as we entered, he greeted us with "Welcome Home" thought that was kool.When we opened the containers, the lechon looked yummy but the chicken looked dry. The sisig, we like ours to be crispy. So I sauteed it in bacon fat. It tasted much better afterwards.Also, the lechon was chewy from being over cooked and the chicken was too dry from being fried too long. I guess that don't do quality control before serving it!We really wanted to find another Filipino restaurant. Very disappointed. Unfortunately, we' won't be back.

Sarap….try it.

I love their Bansilog and Sinigang Pork ribs. they're delicious and fresh. the owner is always friendly and accommodating. staff are also nice and good work attitude. I will give 4.5 ? ? ⭐??

Good value, big portions, great service.Spoke to the owner and he was so friendly! This is his second restaurant by the same name Tapsilog and he said this new location is where he can express his creativity more with the menu and recipes.We got one of the daily combos - pork soup, fried pork belly, lumpia, garlic rice, and a scoop of ube ice cream. All for $15! I tried the limited cantaloupe drink and it was so refreshing on a hot day.You can order a la carte, individual meals, or communal style. They also have a small retail section of Filipino goods, such as banana ketchup, frozen bbq skewers, and frozen lumpia.

This place is a diamond in the rough! The staff is incredibly helpful and courteous. I’m pretty sure Uncle Ed himself was here on Saturday personally seeing everyone was enjoying themselves. He personally wanted to make sure my infant was comfortable outside.The food is classic Filipino, and there are unlimited mimosas available. The food was fresh, the juices amazing. The fried egg was a perfect medium, which is very rare in the food industry for the low prices you’ll see here.They specifically call out vegetarian and vegan options (separately so you know for sure).Inside the cleanliness is deceptive. Bathrooms are spotless and smell like they were cleaned “just 2 minutes ago”COVID? You can see all the staff, cooking or otherwise due to the layout of the restaurant. Masks are always worn properly and never removed.Will I return? Absolutely! Would I recommend this to literally everyone I know? Absolutely!

Had a great lunch group visit. The food was excellent, well prepared and tasty!
