Tagpuan (Van Horne) — Restaurant in Toronto

I used the Too Good To Go app and tried out this Filipino takeout food. I was initially disappointed when I opened the package. There was rice in the center, some meaty things on one side and some vegetables things on the other side. They did not look substantial. The meaty thing was stewed goat. The vegetables thing was a mixed vegetables with eggplants, beans, and bitter melon with a garlic sauce flavored with dried shrimps I believe. Since I am a guy and a bigger eater, I did not find the food substantial or to be exceptional value. There was also a bun. I felt that because I thought these things through Too Good To Go are meant to be leftovers so my expectations were a bit higher in terms of volume of food. But my expectations might just be unrealistic. Now the taste. The food tasted really good. I reheated the food in the microwave for 3 minutes. Both the stew and the mixed vegetables tasted quite yummy. There was also a bun but I was reserving that for lunch tomorrow. Did I like the flavour? Absolutely. The stewed goat was boney though and did not have a lot of meat. But everything tasted pretty good. Would I do it again? I would say yes. Overall the process was super easy, the staff was courteous and the food was tasty. The area for improvement I would hope for would be a little more meat. I can't give a perfect score but it...

Guy who served us was so reluctant and as if it’s a favor that we are buying from them. Viands spread are extensive but will never go back to this place. At the end of the day, having a good meal coincides with better customer experience, the vibe here is just not there. Although, one tall lady was attentive and friendly, but the guy is not meant to face customers I guess. I have always been known to be patient and tolerant but, just can’t get pass to that last experience. No wonder there are way less people there ( despite the massive space) than in Van Horne which is just a quarter of the size in this place (Victoria). Also for some reason their Sisig from this Victoria branch is different from the Van Horne, I thought they have the same commissary. Van Horne Sisig is way better, less oily too. Some friends also felt disappointed and while there are more choices here, they don’t want to come back, not worth the...

Cute spot with 1-2 2-seater tables for dine-in and Filipino grocery products. I was especially stoked that they carry San Marino Corned Tuna which many Asian grocery and Filipino stores don't carry for some reason. I was 2nd in line and did have to wait around 10 minutes, although the party ahead of me bought over $100, ordering several different dishes. There were a couple of customers dining in as well, so it seems steady, though not a crazy busy store; I'd be prepared for the chance of a wait or call ahead. Decided to take out one of their -silogs as well, which are all cooked to order, unlike their other dishes, but it was less than a 10 minute wait. Great fresh housemade chicharon too and they didn't charge me extra for using VISA, unlike many other Filipino stores that either don't take it at all or add a surcharge of as high as $5. Overall a walkable-friendly addition to the...
