“Still one of the best values for Filipino food if you're coming from the beach areas of The OC. I discovered this place a long time ago while looking for a closer alternative to the famous Magic Wok (now Crispy House) crispy pata. At the time Sawali Grill's version was the closest.There are other items offered at this place which I favored, lechon kawali, beef kaldereta, bicol express, pork sisig, grilled liempo etc. The crispy pata is what draws me in all the time. The skin is crisp and the meat, very tender. As always, I order it "no chop." That keeps it warm on the way back home. And I always ask for vinegar instead of the standard liver sauce they always provide.Lately though I noticed a difference in the quality of the crispy pata. The skin is sometimes burnt in some areas. Besides that little variance, the taste is the same. Crispy skin as always and still a cost effective and closer alternative than driving all the way to Norwalk.Oh, and yes .. they are closed on Mondays as customary to most Filipino restaurants and yes, there is a surcharge for using a credit card for payment, customary cultural habit also! Parking: There are parking spaces right in front of the restaurant. This place is located in a strip mall so there is a huge parking lot if none of the spaces in front are available.”
