I find the food over price for the small portion that you get! The meat they use if full of fat and cartridges or sometime more bones like the sinigang soups. Also, the beef steak soy sauce lime I got! I mean for a medium that looks more like a small size the cost close to $19 and full of fat and rubbery cartridges you can’t even eat any meat portion just bad hard parts of the meat you can’t eat. I can’t even see the onions they are so over cooked it melted away, when they should have put fresh cut onions in it when they serve and pack it as the heat from the food will warm the fresh onions. The bbq skewers were so small half of what I would usually see from other Filipino places, again over priced for what they give you. The fried chicken smells like it was cooked with Burnt Old Oil. Photo is the beef steak but it’s all hard rubbery cartilage only 15% meat. This is unacceptable! Seriously get better on the quality of your food. I would suggest ordering to another Filipino establishment or maybe just cooking Filipino food yourself. Last time I will order from this establishment...
Read moreI'm super surprised that this is rated not so well on Google. My wife and child enjoys the food from here especially the dinuguan, kare kare and beef steak. BBQ sticks are also delicious! The combo comes with steam rice, two choices of entree and a drink (pop) and is less than $20 including tax. Wow! When ordering takeout, the two choices for entrees are packed separately from the rice to keep it fresh and tasty.
Staff are very friendly when my wife picks up the food. My daughter, wife and my sister in law are extremely picky and this is the only place that they say are consistent in flavour. There are spaces for dine in but it is only 3 tables and this is more of a point, order and carry home type of place (take out).
We drive from Markham and Durham region to eat the food from here despite all the other choices along route. It is that enjoyable! Try a combo for yourself and you will see why my family enjoys the food from Elmer's.
Parking is street only. Easily accessible for those travelling by TTC along Pape or Mortimer/Cosburn Avenue....
Read moreI'm curious as to what region this cookery comes from in the philippines, I'm with a kapampangan and bicolano heritage, and i have never seen sinigang so greasy, there's so much grease it looked like adobo, and the taste is more of nilaga rather than sinigang. Nothing more disappointing than getting a spoonful of grease instead of the sour savoury flavour. i would suggest using meat with less fat in it and more bone, sinigang is usually sour flavoured with tamarind or guava or citrus, this though just had a bit of saba taste and thats it no sourness at all whatsoever.
Pretty disappointed, this place is being sponsored on uber eats when filipino foods is looked up, please fix the recipe as people of first time trying the cultures food might be highly disappointed as the recipe is highly misinterpreted, and not in a good way.
It shows on your website that your place sells grocery as well, im thinking it shouldnt be too hard to maybe use some tamarind flavouring, it might be artificial but at least it is...
