Filipino Restaurants in San Diego, CA

“I love the lumpia !! You really have to order in person as they rarely answer the phone and the hours are limited !! But the lumpia is so worth it!!! However ... their building on 38th is being sold and I stopped there on 4/12 and no one was there :( On my previous visit on 3/30 I was told they would be finding a new spot and would update their Facebook !! So I'm on here looking for updates !!!“

“AMAZING FOOD and remind me of HOME❤️“

“Excellent service, nice artistic space, solid and original food. Definitely recommend.“

“The ube pandesal is 🌬👌🏾👌🏾👌🏾🤙🏽🤙🏽🤙🏽 so freaking good. Highly recommend it! I ordered the loganisa dish and it was a good sized portion. The bowl of food was prepared very neatly, and you can tell the cooks actually take their time cooking and prepping this food for you. Check them out if you can!“

“These folks are cooking with love and also real fire. I don't know enough to say they're the best but they're doing a lot right. Good variety of options (mostly offal) and good quality. They'll grill for you or you can do it for yourself. I especially liked the flavor of lobster balls. The texture on the blood cubes, chicken hearts, and livers were excellent. Nourishing for body and spirit.“

“I miss R&B in Mira Mesa! The best food here is Sisig and Lechon Kawali! For lunch, we tried Kare-Kare, which is a dish with beef, long string beans, squash, eggplant, and shrimp sauce. We also had Bicol Express, a spicy Filipino dish. Of course, we couldn't miss out on Sisig and Lumpia! I miss it so much! The server is nice, and the atmosphere is good. It's always busy and affordable, so if we can't finish, we have leftovers.“

“Loved this place! The food was great. The service was amazing. The owners are super friendly.“

“Live music and special events, especially DonL on the occasional Wednesday!“

“Delish Sapin sapin don’t taste the same like home. They separate from each other. Otherwise delicious 😋“

“It's a hidden gem. It's a mom and pop shop, it's absolutely delicious! My friend was telling me about this location and I decided to go before they close. I got some of the noodles, sausages, bread and beef as well as two canned sodas (I don't know the exact name of some of the dishes because I kind of just took whatever they had left) such great portions and I will 100% be back so I can see what else they have. I spent less than $40“

“Orient Valley Filipino Cuisine is like a warm hug from your tita, but with better food. The lumpia is crispy, the adobo is full of flavor, and the halo-halo is a sweet, ice-cold masterpiece. It’s the kind of place where you’ll overeat, but it's totally worth it because who’s counting calories when there’s turon involved?“

“Coffee

Came across this place last week when I was walking Marty. What drew me in to the front door that doesn’t scream coffee shop, were the hours. This place opens early in the morning. Like East Coast early. The coffee is good. It’s got a nice vibe, and it moved onto my list of places I will be back to.

Parking: Don’t know if the parking on the street was free or not because I parked in the parking lot. That was free.

Kid-friendliness: Typical of any coffee shop in the city.

Wheelchair accessibility: It’s a little, narrow inside, but certainly doable. Also, for a wheelchair you want to enter on the 4th Street side, right in the middle of the building. The corner door has stairs that would be difficult.“

“found the Las Vegas Sayulitas 2 yrs ago when staying at the Luxor. there burritos are beyond spectacular. big and so delicious. I can't say it enough. and the sauces on the little sauce bar are outstanding. I've never had anything like those sauces. the hot green sauce and hot red sauce are phenomenal. I like the green the best. I lived in AZ years ago. went back home to upstate NY. there is no place near me that even comes close. I love Sayulitas and wish I had one near me. you can't go wrong if you love Mexican style food“

“Super Café. Kleines Café nett eingerichtet“

“The food is amazing, from the bowls to the dessert. highly recommended for anymore in the area and looking for a great lunch or dinner.“

“This is a hole in the wall. Line up and get your food and take it out to the outdoor public seating. They have an eclectic mix of (I want to say) Filipino barbecued pork, barbecue, chicken adobo, curry chicken, spicy chicken, some kind of sausage, fried rice, plain rice, chow mein. The barbecue pork is so expletive delicious! It has a sweet and charred flavor.“

“One of the best place to visit if you are craving for Filipino food. There are plenty of options and my recommendations would be the sisig and bbq. The ambience is good and it can accommodate a lot of people. The staff are friendly and efficient. Be ready to eat cups of rice because the food is yummy“

“Trining’s is “in transition” and it shows. The front is a bit disorganized, but well divided into baked goods and ready-made take out products. The menu is hand-written on a wall-mounted white board (see pictures), but is easily understood and clearly legible.

Now, for the food—Very good! Loved the lumpia. The sweet chili sauce had just a hint of heat to it. Perfect!

We also got chicken adobo and pancit. Both were excellent. Since I ordered two combos to go, I was very careful not to tip the containers and tried to avoid contaminating the pancit with adobo sauce. All for naught. I must have leaned on the brakes a bit too heavily because the very fluid adobo sauce obeyed the laws of physics and colored both the pancit and lumpia. With dark, rich, peppery adobo flavoring. But—it was still great! The chicken adobo was tender and tasty, and the pancit was yummy, even though it tasted more like adobo than pancit. The lumpia, as I expected, was to die for. Crisp and crunchy with a hint of heat from the chili sauce. So good!

Well done Trining’s. Get your front together and I’ll be back. Can I bring some friends with me? I’ve got some East coast buddies who think egg rolls are the bomb. Your lumpia can easily blow that theory out of the water…“
