This place on Google was 5 stars, but once I got there, this place off the food alone exceeds 5 stars!
Let’s talk about the food— everything was seasoned to perfection. The sinigang had these thick cuts of pork belly with the perfect tamarind and sour balance. The sisig tasted so clean and fresh and I loved how there was elements of pickled onions and peppers in it. The diniguan (pork blood) didn’t taste heavy at all, it was the best consistency and had a slight sour to it which I loved. Everything we paired with the garlic rice and tocino and walked away full yet surprisingly didn’t feel heavy at all.
Now let’s talk about the service— I’ve been to a lot of Filipino to-go spots, and at these other spots, it feels like you’re a nuisance for being there. At Tita Lina’s, you feel like you’ve walked into your grandma’s house. The hospitality, conversation, and care made me feel so welcome and happy to recommend to my friends and come back for more!
The place was clean and even with people walking in and out, every staff member smiled and made our experience impeccable!
I’ll be back when I’m in the area or if I need catering...
Read moreMasarap na pagkain! Stopped by on the way to a concert in Anaheim because we wanted Filipino food. As soon as we walked in we were greeted by the lady behind the counter and also by a customer who is a regular who was sitting at a table! I’m familiar with Filipino food but my friend isn’t so the lady behind the counter explained all of the choices and gave us samples. She was really helpful and made us feel very welcomed. Once we ordered our food we sat at a table next to the regular customer and had a great conversation about the Philippines with him. The food was EXCELLENT! The lechon kawali was especially good, as was the pancit bihon. The servings were very generous. We were even treated to complimentary turon by the owners who happened to be sitting at a nearby table. We really enjoyed the food and the people, it’s just a small place and easily missed if you don’t know it’s there. I can’t wait to bring my wife next...

I was craving Filipino food before heading back to Arizona so decided to make a stop here since they were one of the few restaurants that opened early. So glad I did!! Kare-Kare is one of my all time favorite dish and this is probably one of the best I’ve ever had. I wish I lived closer so I could eat here more frequently and be able to taste the other dishes.
I also think the pricing is awesome for the quantity and quality of food. The customer service was also amazing! So friendly!
Just be aware of parking. Very few spots, but luckily, my sister dropped me off and came back to pick me up after grabbing our food so no issue for me. I would definitely say that it was still work it if you can find a parking spot! Or if you’re ordering to-go!
Will be stopping by again on my next...
