This review dated Nov 30 2021. Their version of bulalo is one of the better ones even compared to the restaurants in tagaytay and sto Thomas. All the excess oil has been removed so in your bowl is a soup that's not greasy. The cabbage that goes with it is cooked perfectly. There are a lot of viands to choose from. There are silogs and a variety of ready choices. They even have soup no. 5 but you have to be a bit adventurous. I have been eating here even before this building was constructed. For years they had no doors or walls streetside. They were open 24 hours. They survived Ondoy which submerged the whole first floor but amazingly their fish in the pond remained in spite of the floods. Some few years back they had the place airconditioned. They also survived Ulysses. Although the taste and quantity of the food remained the same the prices have dramatically increased. Whereas in 2009 the bulalo would cost 180 pesos its current price is 480. With the bulalo I would order crispy shrimps. They have two versions but both are crispy enough to eat even the shell. I might also order the sitsaron bituka. Also good. What I like about the place is speed. There's very little waiting because the food is already cooked and on display turo turo style. The usual favorites are there like Sinigang, kare kare, Adobo etc and the not so common like kinilaw. There also are desserts like Leche flan and fruit salad. On the corner of the counter is where they boil the large containers of bulalo and where sinangag is always being cooked. They now allow dine in at 50 % seating. With your order comes soup, iced water and kalamansi with sili. The wash area and comfort room is average. No Wi-Fi. Cash only. You pay at the counter as you order.

Craving tapsilog, I decided to try this place in Marikina instead of Goto Bob, which tends to have long waits and no air conditioning. I was happy to find plenty of parking available. The tapa was tender, juicy, and well-marinated, pairing perfectly with their spiced vinegar. However, I wish there were options to have the egg with crispy edges and the sinangag to be fluffier and more garlicky. Also, the tapa-to-rice ratio felt off—there's too much tapa for the amount of rice. If you're dining with someone, you could easily share the tapa by ordering extra sinangag. The food quality is above average, though a bit on the pricey side at Php 175 per order of tapsilog. It's a good option if you're looking for an air-conditioned place to eat, but be aware that beggars and street children may occasionally pass by.

The restaurant Have parking space in front of the entrance door I think it can accommodate 5 cars the most. They have guard to assist you in the parking. Parking is also free. The food is also good but a little bit pricey for our meal as you can see in the picture this is almost 800 pesos, there is also variety of foods that you can choose, I can recommend this to my friends and family as their food is tasty and good. The serving time is also very fast, i think it only take 3 minutes from the cashier for the waiter to deliver our order. I am happy about the fast service

I was excited because I thought it would be a good Karinderya type of resto. Yes it was, the food looked great and appetizing complete with ambiance. However, my okoy was so thick it wasn’t well cooked . Sadly. The beef caldereta looked so good but the meat was hard. I was so sad when I left. It could’ve been perfect. But they paid attention only to how it looked and not how to properly cook the food. Sayang na sayang talaga. I thought I found a gem.

Tapsilog cravings satisfied! Our go-to place since high school for tapsi. And if you are looking for an affordable and traditional tapa, this one is for you. We usually order tapsi and kare-kare. Haven't tried the others though. Love their service! Staff is very courteous, from security to the waiters. 🌠 🚲 = they have space for cars and limited space for bikes. Will definitely go back!

First time to go here for breakfast, the atmosphere of the place is nice and it has a very spacious and big dining area and the ceiling is so high so it gives more comfortable feeling eating all those fried dishes in the morning. They also have free soup which is very tasty. The price of the food is okay since the place is good as well, a bit pricey unlike the usual Tapsihan.
