Pinoy Bbq ATBP — Restaurant in Milpitas

Initially we drove to our favorite Filipino restaurant but unfortunately it was closed. But we still had a huge craving to satisfy. So we drove a few more minutes to Pinoy BBQ ATBP for the first time.

We arrived @ 1130 on a weekday and already there was a line out the door, which is always a good sign.

It's a fast food style restaurant with an entire wall adorned with Manny Pacquiao paraphernalia.

There are 2 small tables to dine in. But we took out orders to go. We ordered lechon kawali, beef caldereta and pancit.

The lechon was tender and juicy. The caldereta was the best I've ever tasted! The beef was tender and the sauce was the best. It had so much flavor. 😋The pancit noodles were stir- fried perfectly and had a good ratio of veggies and strips of pork.

The staff were pleasant and helpful. For example, we were told the lechon would be ready in a few minutes so we waited outside. One of the employees handed us our order, instead of waiting for us to come back in. Even though there was a line.

This was a great find and the food was...

I use to love their Kare Kare. Now they changed the meat. It use to be beef ox tail. Now their using pork instead. It not the same. I hate pork in kare kare. This sucks. I guess its cheaper to use pork. The other Filipino Restaurant in the same plaza use pork also but way before Pinoy BBQ. I use to tell them it sucks. Now they too switched to pork meat. It tastes horrible now. Man i was up set. Kare kare needs beef ox tail, not pork. I will never eat their kare kare again. The kare kare was the only reason why i use to eat there. Now I have no reason to go. I am very disappointed n very angry. Kalesa still uses beef ox tail. I guess ill start going there instead. Pinoy...

This place actually tastes like home! Went here for the first time and breakfast is really good. It's usually what my dad makes. Breakfast silogs are made for ready meaning that they prepare them and place them at the counter.

It is also a very small place where they sell snacks with limited amount of seatings here. I don't think many people come here for breakfast but rather for lunch I think. It's my first time here and so I never tried other Filipino food here yet.

Based on what I saw from the reviews, the food looks authentic and they probably make good BBQ. Maybe, I should try theirs along with other dishes to see if they matches our Filipino food...
