Omg so good!! Tried this place last weekend and so happy we did. We do not live too far and love islander food. Hubby is Pacific Islanders so he knows what's good. And he is a fan ... our whole family is! We got 2 plates and a bowl The bbq beef, bbq chicken and keluguian all with red rice. And a side of the kimchi cucumber and daigo- so good! The keleguin is amazing!!! We loved it all- although not big fans of the Mac salad, was a little bland. However that does not mean we won't go back! So happy we found, we will be regulars

Love this place! The food here is very authentic. Tastes like the food came from Guam ?? The portion sizes are also very generous

The food overflows in flavor and in servings. I chose to keep it simple with a BBQ chicken and scrumptious side of red rice and Pancit. Absolutely delicious. But what really stole my heart was the Spam Musubi. Salty, soft, sweet and oh so filling.

We were in town for my daughters basketball and was looking for a quick bite. Glad we found this place, it's so welcoming on the inside. The lady at the front is very professional and helpful. The place is Very clean and they are taking COVID measures seriously. Now the food is soooooo good!! We got the Chicken kelaguen bowls and they have plenty to feed two people. The red rice is flavorful and moist, kelaguen is made just right! My husband got the chicken bbq plate and it was bomb!! Flavored just right and the Mac Salad is definitely a must to try. Definitely recommend!!!!

I ordered for takeout, and got the BBQ pork ribs. Their rice, mac salad, and meat were AMAZING. I'm so glad to have found this gem in Lemon Grove. Go support your local islander (Guam) restaurant - and PS - avoid GrubHub and ordering thru Yelp. If you call in and pick it up, they get more proceeds :) Yay cant wait to go back

Ordered the Chicken Kelaguen Bowl, it looks small at first but was the perfect amount. They pack it! Also my first time trying Guamanian food, definitely coming back

Great tasting Kelaguen, yummy red rice, finadenne was on the salty side (more like spicy soy sauce), and macaroni salad was bland. I haven't tried anything else, but it's worth coming back, just for the Kelaguen!

My all time favorite spot in SAN DIEGO.... Childhood foods!! Their dishes have unbelievable flavors just like home (GUAM).! Hospitality/customer service is very welcoming, you'll feel right at home. DONT FORGET TO TRY THEIR MÅNHA TATIYAS & OH HECK EVERYTHING...lol! #PositiveVibes #aMustStopAnEatPlace

My friend has been talking this place up but he likes everything so I wasn't sure how serious to take him but he was spot on. I'm not really familiar with food from Guam and I was pleasantly surprised with how good it was. We got the fiesta combo 3 (bbq chicken, kadun pika, and bbq beef) and then the manha tatiyas with kelaguen. The stand outs were the bbq chicken, the kadun pika and the kelaguen. The manha titayas are like coconut tortillas which are delicious for dessert. It was plenty of food for 2 of us and my hubby eats a lot. We will definitely be back since it was so good

I ordered their catering for a small party. The food was delicious! Everyone raved about how good it was. Would definitely use them again for catering, and would also eat there once dining inside is allowed again.

Half my family is from Guam and this place hits the spot when it comes to Chamorro dishes. I always bring my parents here when I come down to SD for a visit. We love their chicken kelaguen and red rice and their empanadas. Their customer service is friendly and you can tell they appreciate your business in how they treat you. Please show them some love; I'm sure the pandemic is hurting a small business like them.

I was craving Chamorro grill but, didnt want to drive too far from home. Thankfully came across this place and was shocked at how close to home it was. The food was AMAZING! I wasnt disappointed. We ordered the chicken kelugen and white rice bowl with a side of pancit and cucumber and daigo kimchee. We had some many food left over we even had leftover for lunch the following day. Definitely my new favorite location for Guamanian food.

PROS: + friendly staff + cute merchandise near front of store + grilled chicken was very moist and tender + orange rice was delicious + shorts ribs charred perfectly + spam :) + very clean + socially distanced interior CONS: - parking is tough Will definitely come back here. This is a better and mom&pop version of L&L's located in the heart of lemon Grove so come by to support Yelpers!! They are also participating in the Toy Drive for the holidays :)
