Manila Express Gourmet Fast Foods

It was my second time when I went earlier today. I was in the area so why not grab some homemade Filipino food, right? I bought Lechon Kawali and Nilagang Baka. The taste reminded me of how my grandmother used to make these dishes back home. This little gem is not a fancy place but the taste of authentic Filipino comfort food is there. However, the owner mentioned that she is retiring this year (she said she has been working for 40 years). I'm glad that I went today.

I've been going here since I was a kid & the owner has maintained the quality and deliciousness over 20 years!!! It's a hole in the wall behind a 711 but it's truly one of the best food places in the Bay Area. I live far now but I would easily drive an hour to eat this bc no other place compares. The owner is super sweet & helpful and treats our family so well when we come in :) please support this amazing small business

Lechon isn't your typical East Asian style where it's deep fried and greasy, Filipino style is more of a fried and grilled to burn off the excess fat. Less crunchy...read full review
