Stopped by for lunch and was very glad that I did!
I ordered the Lumpia Shanghai and they were hot and fresh! They tasted good and the sauce served on the side finished them off nicely.
Presentation was on point! It was a bit nicer than most take out places and gave it an elevated touch.
For my main, I ordered the BBQ Short Rib Plate. My first impression was that there was a lot of heft to this container. They packed it full! The short rib itself was thinly sliced, bone in and tossed with their BBQ sauce. This made it a little messy, and less pleasurable, to eat. The sauced up meat tasted great, full of flavor and the meat was tender enough. The hands-on affair, fork and knife won't do it here, was less and less enjoyable as I navigated around the thinly sliced bone in each piece. Also to mention, the fat ratio was pretty high in each piece. The sauce made it worthwhile, the eating experience makes me not want to try this one again. The rice was hot n fluffy, and the drippings from the BBQ sauced meat topped the rice which made it that much more enjoyable. The pancit was a hit! So full of flavors, the thin noodles were easy to eat and kept me wanting to eat another bite. A small rice cake topped it all off. It was deliciously sweet, but not too sweet, and a perfect end to this dish.
I remember Lola Betty's from their food truck days and it's nice to see that they have a permanent home now. It's mostly a take out only spot, but they do have some outdoor seating options if you'd like...

I was in town for a couple weeks and had been craving Filipino food, but my lazy ass didnāt want to drive to Oxnard after hitting all the bowls. Then I remembered I still hadnāt dropped in here since they opened. Itās street parking only and thereās always plenty of spots available any given day. I got the pork bbq skewer meal which came with 2 hefty scoops of rice, 3 skewers, pancit and a puto. Let me tell you something - when I say I ate everything. I shouldāve taken an after photo because wow. Even that banana leaf at the bottom got licked clean. Yeah, I said it. Skewers- fire. Perfectly seasoned and super juicy. I hate dry meat. The dipping sauce they provided paired perfectly. I sure did use all of it. I loved how loaded that pancit was. There was a ton of veggies. Service was great. I only interacted with the lady working the front who was...
Ā Ā Ā Read moreSmall food stop place. You walk up the window and order your food. Theres only a few selections in the menu.
Pancit bowl $13 Chicken bbq $16 Beef short rib $17 Chicken adobo $15 Lumpia Shanghai 3 for $5
They serve it in a bowl. They have a couple of tables at the back. Ive tried the beef short ribs and chicken bbq. I like the short ribs. Im going back to try the adobo. Every order comes with pancit (noodles), rice cake, and white rice. Beef short ribs is good š š I wanted to try their lumpia but they were out. So if you decide to go perhaps go there before 3 or 4pm. They cook their food when you order and it takes awhile. So...
