Maynila On Main Street — Restaurant in Carson

I'm Pinoy myself, so I know really good authentic Filipino food when I try it. These are the genuine flavors of my homeland, and I love how everything inside is presented as well (GMA on the TV, iconic decor and images from the Philippines, etc.)

As you are waiting in line awesome items are available for purchase, like the tangy achara (best with fried pork skins or chichaerones) and diles (anchovies).

I had Kare kare (oxtail beef with veggies like bok choy in a peanut stew) and lechon kawali (roast pork to a crisp). Both were flawless. Kare kare was savory and thick and nutty. Lechon was salty and satisfying.

Customer service kindly provided an ice cup for my refreshing calamansi juice, even when I was a klutz and spilled the first. Great place and homely vibes.

Even when given the bill, we were not offered to get more items to hit the $100 threshold. Lastly, we were told the policy at the end, when the bill has already been given out (too late). For the managers and other staff in the proper higher level position, be more transparent about such important policies, preferably placing them at the front door, where everyone can see. Other places such as Gerry's Grill don't have...

Came in for chicken adobo and clearly ordered rice with it. Told the girl twice. Got home and no rice. Called back ask why there was no rice and the guy only wanted to argue that i didn't order rice. Why would i order chicken adobo without rice. I wouldn’t. If you order from this place. Make sure you check your order before you leave. Almost $40 for half of what i ordered. Only to get argued with. Great customer service. Thanks for...
