The service was chill and he was nice. But the food was expensive for the portion they give you. It's mediocre at best. The best part was finding a long hair in our food. Needless to say, we're not coming back.

When you’re here it is family should belong to Olive Garden, but this is an actual sentiment and vibe you feel here. They have a wonderful bar, creative foods that actually taste good, and owners that care. If anything - you should check it out because of the flair and the accommodations. Desserts are also well deserving of their own praise.

My family and I loved every bite. My one wish is that we had it in the restaurant itself. It was all takeout and still tasted amazing.

It was our first visit here tonight and it will certainly not be the last. The food was yummy Filipino cuisine and the service was quick. On top of that, the gentleman served was very kind. It’s a nice spacious restaurant and it could also be preferable for family gatherings or to watch games as a group since there are tvs on display to follow games as well.
There was even a yummy vegetarian option for my vegetarian girl which was great!
Thank you Palo Palo and we will definitely come back soon.

Downtown price for amateur quality! The food tasted meh (but on dry and bland side), and way too expensive for what they are. Portion was ridiculously small. They also didn't include one of the sides I ordered. Definitely not going back.

I would definitely return to this spot for some tasty Filipino food. We tried the pancit with chicken which had great flavor. The garlic rice was so good. The chicken drumsticks with adobo were amazing-get them sisig...jalapeños and onion sautéed w/seasoning and placed over dish. The pork belly was cooked to perfection! The ube churros and a banana pudding were our dessert. I'll just say-wow. Every dish was flavorful and cooked just right. We were even given some type of Filipino hot dog to try and it was quite tasty! I would order it off the menu next time 😋 I would also highly rate the service as well. Everyone was very friendly, welcoming and helpful to answer our questions. The wait time for the food was pretty quick too! This place was a 10/10 and we will definitely be returning and highly recommend.

My partner suggested this place from a friend so I went there with my family. ***The menu is new and is no longer Mexican food***. It's more Filipino - American Fusion.

We had Talib Kawali, Cauliflower Sisig, Palo Stix, Pancit Walabok, the Fili-bisteak, cheesy fries, and the Sisig Spareribs.

For Dessert we had Ube Cheesecake, Coffee Cheesecake, and the Iced Banana Pudding with Vanilla Wafers.

The dinner was very good! I think they hit the fusion concept well though the dishes are a little small and probably not Filipino enough. I think it clashed with the look of the restaurant which feels somewhat casual (you order from the bar).

Dessert was alright. The Ube Cheesecake was amazing. More mixed reviews on the Coffee Cheesecake and the Ice Banana Pudding. The later looks beautiful but they didn't burn off enough rum when making it. It's a new dish though and it didn't take away from the rest of the experience.

9/10.

Really interesting spot with a lot of dishes that I don't think I've seen anywhere else. They have a very unique naming convention for their dishes so don't be afraid to ask for an explanation on certain things - the servers are really friendly and happy to explain things!

My favorites were the pork belly, Ube Churros and Ube Cheesacake. Our group also enjoyed the beef ribs, pork belly, lumpia, prawns, brisket sandwich, brisket fries, pork belly sandwich, cheese fries, garlic rice, and Oreo cheesecake.
