I was in the area and decided to visit this place. $15 (with tax) for a small size beef caldereta is crazy! The beef was not even close to tender, it was tough! It needed at least another hour on the stove but the taste was there!

The food is okay. My husband picked up 4 different kinds of protein and some steamed rice. 2 proteins were beef, one pork and one chicken. He said the beef and pork were okay, they were tender but also really small peices of meat. The chicken was battered and fried and a tad sweet but was soggy and not crispy. He said he won't go back again.

Gave us the wrong order as they are too busy talking to each other. We ordered batchoy to go and gave us this batchoy na may dugo daw. This cost $30+ dollars for this size! And no noodles as well. Banana for scale

My wife liked their Lechon kawali. She said it was perfect. They charge $19 per pound, so expect to pay around $23 + tax for a takeout container. This place is tiny with just one table. I recommend getting take-out.

Please save yourself time and don't even consider this place. Customer service is not good. You have to wait for your food for at least 10 minutes since they are busy talking to each other. Place is small and dirty. We ordered Bicol express, Bistek tagalog, Daingsilog and crispy Baby squid - all with "garlic rice". Bicol express and bistek tagalog was okay - edible. All the baby squid still has the film - as you can see in the photo. The "garlic rice" is made with uncooked rice and a pinch of fried minced garlic. Worst "garlic rice" I've tasted. They also gave free soup that is full of oil. Wasted $40 in this place - save your money and don't come here.

I ordered tokwat baboy from this location but as you can see from these photos, I am deeply disappointed as there are very limited portion of pork. The price is not worth it. I do not recommend others to order on this branch.

Very pleasant and friendly staff. The store is very cozy and clean. There is a nice selection of food to choose from and some snacks. Some drinks in the cooler to wash everything down. Take out or stay ..either way is good. Family enjoyed the food as you can tell the cook takes pride in their work. Thank you very much we'll be back for sure

Good value through the Too Good to Go app but was a bit disappointed by the food after unpacking it. The pork was pretty tasty, but I wasnt a fan of the bitter melon. I wasnt too big on being given actual scraps either. Overall, I thought the owners were quite cordial, but I expected more out of the food. I dont think Ill be coming back again.

We bought several dishes for takeout this past Sunday at Tagpuan on Kennedy Rd, and would have to say all the dishes were delicious and tasted authentic Filipino. We tried their mechado, dinuguan, bopiz and bicol express and really liked them all. Their turon was also yummy and has langka/jackfruit inside.

December 22, 2022

Terrible for making customers wait. Slow service. Friendly but I m not there to make friends. I want to get my food and leave. Nobody even acknowledges you while you are waiting.

We order turon from here quite often and its delicious! The turon is long and super crunchy which I like. The service is great and I always appreciate the lady who helps me as she is always so sweet when she takes my order. Lumpia Shanghai is delicious too! Prices are reasonable and I recommend this place if you are ever craving filipino food

Great food but service is lacking. They put remittance people before people who would like to purchase food at dinner

December 22, 2021

Ordered from Uber Eats.. Victoria branch closes earlier so no choice but to order from here instead. I shouldn t have.. I ve ordered thrice already from Kennedy branch and every single time, their food tastes old.. Chicken skin tastes of burnt reused oil.. Balut was dry of its soup and tastes like it has been reheated several times.. Every single dish we ordered tasted like old and low quality turo turo dish.. At least for most turo turo places, they replenish food everyday. I seriously think some of their food has been weeks old. NEVER buy from this place! If you have to buy from tagpuan, buy it from Victoria Road instead.. They taste 100x better.. To the restaurant owner, I hope you are reading this. pay attention to the quality of your food please! You give Filipinos a bad name!

I loved this store because I could get my pandesal conveniently. Today, I visited to get pandesal. I noticed that the stores short in staff, with a group of them just chatting. The place doesnt appear busy. Not a big deal, I can wait. Unfortunately, my patience ran dry after waiting 10 minutes for an associate to ring my item. The moment I was close to leaving the place, is when one of the employees asked if I was just getting pandesal and that she can ring it in. Ive mentioned to one of the staff who I understand was busy, and still no one bothered to ring my item. I understand most of the customers buy more than one item, but to keep a customer waiting for more than reasonable time with one item only, is poor business etiquette/behaviour. Its disappointing, and Ill have to start looking for other places.

Today we went here for kamayan (boodle fight). Not only was the food cold, but the chicken wings and lumpia Shanghai was undercooked! It was acknowledged by the staff who took it back, Which was great but it should be cooked thoroughly before serving. There is also a door to get outside nearby and it was often getting open blowing in cold air, which wasn t as pleasant on such a cold day. Sorry, but it was quite a disappointing experience.

Food often goes bad very quickly..(means not fresh daily so to buy for few days tricky) and sometimes a little oily or salty.

At 1000am staff seemed very unapproachable, their fried rice was very badly done. Tapsilog was very dry although meat was tender. Poor costumer service. Breakfast order only comes with coffee, i dont drink coffee so i ended up not drinking at all, because ill have to pay additional for a soda or bottled water. Their meal only comes with bottled water because they say to help prevent diabetes so since March 2019 they only serve bottled water with their combo meal and youll have to pay for a soda. You have no choice because they dont want you to have diabetes. I wouldnt recommend this restaurant to anyone.

The food was great, but the staff at this location are rude. The cashier answered a phone call in the middle of my sentence and was distracted while taking our order. When I politely asked for a bathroom, they looked bothered and failed to point me at the right direction. I suggest for all future customers to go at other locations (dundas, victoria park, etc...). Hay nako, food is served better with a smile po mnga tita. Dapat, good vibes lagi. Peace!

Specializing in Filipino food. Sells freshly cooked meals with about 10 different options. Also sells other produce from Philippines like snacks, cooking mix, instant noodles and desserts. They also sell and make their own products like Itlog na pula (Salted Egg) and many others. They recently expanded their space with more sitting areas. Great for family setting. They do dine in and take out.
