I've been here before years back. At the time, you can only order from their breakfast menu. Now on my second visit, I'm very pleased that their entire menu is available the entire day 😃 You can even order from their Merienda Menu (available 2pm-5pm) at 8am, subject to availability of course. You know me, from my previous posts that I'm quite partial to establishments that can serve their entire menu at anytime of the day 👍👍😁 The wait staff are fast and very accommodating. The demeanor they exude is I'm here to be of service so don't hesitate to ask anything. It's like your talking to your old buddy kind of vibe. Very friendly and cheerful. An example how attentive they are? My mom accidentally dropped her table napkin and before we can even ask for a new one, a female staff was already handing my mom a new one 😄👍 We weren't the only table at the time. I think there were at least three and each table had at least five or more guests. You can park on the street and there is a guard who will guide you. The place was an old home converted into a restaurant. The interiors retained some of old home parts. In fact every part of the place is picture worthy and you'll see a lot of guests walking around the place like they're visiting a museum. Be careful of what you order because each order can easily feed three to five. I didn't even get to order my Halo Halo because I was too stuffed. An order of a slice of their cakes can be shared by three. Each dish was tasty and well made. I definitely have to try more of their dishes on my next visit and hopefully I'll be able to order my Halo Halo. You can also go shopping. They sell some bread and pastries. They have bottled sardines and atchara. They also have some nuts and other munchies.

Went here earlier with my partner and mother-in-law for late lunch. We always loved the food here. When we arrived at 1:30pm, the ambiance was peaceful as usual, just the way we like it. Their security guard assisted us with the parking and Clark the server was very friendly and attentive. Their food is always good! It never disappoints. However, we were upset when they told us they can’t separate the igado sauce from the pork anymore (photo attached was from our previous visit). We totally understand the chef’s policy. I don’t usually give low ratings but I’m really disappointed with the other server who bust out our plates, the way he took our plates is really irresponsible. He ended up spilling a lot of vinegar in my louis vuitton bag. I don’t want to name drop but his colleague, Clark, knows his name. The server also had ego when we called him out, on his defense, he’s just newly hired, he didn’t saw my bag placed in the seat. I would understand if he just say that he’s sorry since I know he won’t pay for the damage. So, they just randomly spill food/condiments at their chairs? I don’t understand. Additionally, what’s inside my bag is my Passport and Passbook since we’re heading to the bank after. Thank God, there’s no marks but it really smells! Is that how Victorino’s train their employees? It’s kinda upsetting that they have staff who lacks basic hospitality.

Serendipitously found a corner resto, planning for a quick snack of cake nd cold beverage... instead went for pansit musico-canton style but topped with bagnet crisp bits, fresh lumpia ubod or palm heart and poqui-poqui-roasted eggplant sauteed in creamy egg, shallots, tomato nd garlic. Lite lu nc topped off with really delicious ube macapuno cake. Resto generally serve Ilokos specialities, a cake shop and a niche for Ilokos textiles. Really a gem of a place. Part 2-went back for a proper lunch of laing, crispy pata, kare2, pinakbet and freedom rice. Meal preceded by combination appetizer of chicharon bulaklak and gambas! As expected all super delicious. The freedom rice was a surprise-salted ducks egg, scrambled egg, tinapa flakes, minced fresh tomatoes etc colorfully arranged over rice fried in garlic and onions. This time tried their scrumptious Sans Rival! Was in the vicinity and decided to have breakfast at lunch time. Ordered the vigan plate as mains and traditional chocolate cake for dessert washed down with hot black coffee. Wasnt disappointed with the vigan plate of 4 thick knobs of vinegary garlic fla ored pork chorizo, steaming hot garlic sinangag and perfectly prepared sunny side up. Chocolate cake was moist, just about right sweet and full on chocolate delight. Great meal to have before taking a siesta from high noon summer heat!

Spent Father’s Day here and we really enjoyed the food! My dad’s an Ilokano and he was so happy to have found a restaurant that mainly serves Ilokano dishes. We got Fiesta Rice (5/5), Ensaladang Swa (5/5) the dressing was so yummy!, Pinirito nga Baby Pusit (4/5)- the quantity is just so little but it’s yummy!, Lumpiang Tinapa Flakes (4/5), Karabasa Soup, Ladec (4/5)- wish this was more crunchy, Kinilaw Tanigue (2/5)- have high standards for Kinilaw and it was just not it sadly. But I feel like pwede na siya here sa Manila haha, Adobong Kambing (4/5) - love the garlic confit and the meat was so tender, again portion size lang talaga medyo sad but it’s yummy!. For drinks we got Dalandan Shake, Pomelo Shake, Watermelon Shake, and Sago’t Gulaman. All great, didn’t know you could shake Pomelo 😅 For dessert, we had the Pistachio Sanseival and NY Cheesecake. Both were also so good. All in all the food was yummy the only set back was the staff. Medyo ma-attitude lang sila and we were seated right in front of the bar so servers were quite loud, mas malakas pa sila mag chikahan haha. Other than that atmosphere was great except for the SOBRANG DAMING LANGAW. Even the table behind us had to tell the staff about it. 😭

Nice place. But only have street parkings for about 3 vehicles, and 2 on the front. We went in on a late afternoon. So, there were just a few diners. But the attention of the servers, is seldom on the table on which they seated us, which is in a small area near the front. I have to stand up & call for our orders, several times. The place is big, yes..But, i do hope, that they have kept that in consideration. The menu, for a fine dining, should have been kept interesting, instead of just in plain sheets of paper. The food...Most of what we ordered, were i guess is, more than average. Imagine, their fiesta rice, for example, after waiting for more than, 20 minutes...It arrived cold. Even though, it was laden with lots of ingredients to be called a classic fried rice, It lost it's savory taste. The Bistek, thinly sliced, could have been perfect, but it absorbed all the saltiness of the sauce. The others like inasar na manok is ok. The laing with bagnet, also good. And, the corn soup, really nice. Pasta is superb. And the pancakes, just ordinary. Well, my experience here, is both nice & not so nice but at least, is not awful. Price is on the mid to high, depending on what you are ordering.

Booked a private room to celebrate a special occasion with family, and it was well worth it. 🍽️ FOOD: Everything tasted great 🙌🏻 even the plain rice 🍚. Check out the photo captions to see what we devoured. 🐷 The longganisa and bagnet were not greasy - IDK how they managed that (🪄 sorcery 😋). 🍰 Desserts by Heny Sison are available here. Cake slices are generous, so we ended up sharing amongst ourselves. The standout was the Bibingka - it's so fluffy I'm gonna die 😆 🦄 🛎️ SERVICE: Superb 🙏🏻 The wait staff were very helpful and attentive. Although our private room was at the 2nd floor, we had no trouble reaching out to staff for additional orders or requests. ✨ ATMOSPHERE: Home-y in a good way 🏠 The place seems like it was una casa muy grande in its past life. If you have an eye for detail, you'll notice (and appreciate) the Filipino/Ilocano touches throughout the interiors - there was even an inabel lampshade in the little ladies room. ⭐ Victorino's: Longganisa Platter, Lumpiang Gabi at Hipon, Bagnet, Pancit Musiko, Lemongrass drink Heny Sison: Bibingka, Carrot Cake, Ube Macapuno Cake
