They serve very delicious variety of Filipino cuisine from bbq pork and chicken all sort of entrées and desserts for you to pick from . All dry food ordered is twice cooked on the grill. Service is fast and friendly also they will gladly explain the food that you ordered.Vegetarian options: Nope ! The food they serve is too good to be vegetarian. It need some kind of protein to make it scrumptious.Parking: Parking can be difficult. Only a couple of slots in the area .Wheelchair accessibility: A little tight plus there's an incline when entering

I've been here a few times now, whether it was to get lunch or for catering. The food here is decent, not amazing but not bad. The staff are always welcoming but it seems that many dishes are always unavailable, maybe i just come in at the wrong time. As for catering, it seems that they run a bit late so make sure you set the pickup time earlier than you need to. I've also noticed prices have gone up. I think i would try somewhere new before returning to Turo.

Ordered through delivery so can't comment on the service or the ambiance. I thought that the Lumpia Shanghai was about the right bite size and was pretty tasty though a bit on the salty side. The tocilog was alright. Though it tasted good, the meat was tough. Can't tell if the eggs were overcooked poached or over hard. The garlic rice wasn't aromatic or flavorful. The turon (fried banana) was good. Ripe banana with just the right amount of sweetness. It's still debatable whether I'll try this place again.

Turo Cafe is my number 1 go to for Filipino dishes. I've been in the restaurant more than a couple of times, I've ordered take out and Door Dash delivery and Turo never disappoints. Foods are always fresh and delicious and prices are reasonable. I've also used them on 2 occasions, to cater my daughter's baby shower and my grandson's first birthday. My guests loved the food!

Cafeteria style service which means that you are in and out in minutes. Good tasting, reasonably priced. Im there at least once a week.

Turo completely satisfied my Filipino food craving. I DoorDashed the following:1) Laing & pork adobo plate ($14.75 via DoorDash). The Laing (taro leaves in coconut milk) was the best I've ever had. It had so much umami and slightly sweet with some bits of meat inside. Definitely would get this catered in the future if they allow. Pork adobo was a little heavy on the vinegar side and also slightly sweet. I would definitely get this again as well.2) Dinuguan and 1 BBQ pork ($15 via DoorDash). The dinuguan was very heavy on the vinegar side. It was also more pasty than watery which I prefer. If I get it again, I would get it as a small side but not as a main entree. The BBQ pork was sweet, had great flavor but a little on the tough side. I would probably stick with the adobo and Laing.3) Turon ($2 via DoorDash). Maybe I let the Turon sit for too long but it wasn't crispy at all. It was soggy and a little disappointing. It wasn't as sweet or caramelized as I was hoping for. All in all the prices are extremely reasonable. The 2 plate entree in house cost $12 and is pretty much 2 meals.TLDR: Get the adobo and Laing!

I don't even know where to start. Turo Cafe was our caterer for our wedding back in March 2023 (SO SORRY FOR THIS LONG OVERDUE REVIEW) and omgggg they did not disappoint! So many things went wrong at our wedding, rained out so we had to be inside, but one thing thing that went right was Turo! EVERY SINGLE PERSON, including my Titos and Titas who are great cooks themselves, absolutely loved the food! It tasted amazing and they made sure it looked presentable for our event. Catering was def one of the toughest part for us because everything is expensive but with Turo, the party package for that fit for 100 x2 (since we had 170 guests) was more than enough. Thank you so much Turo for being so wonderful and catering our wedding!! Can't wait to have your business again!! P.S. my husband and I went back to Turo not too long ago and their food is just as tasty!!

Ordered a tray of lumpia for a birthday party - lumpia were fresh and a crowd pleaser! I ordered and paid the afternoon before and had my partner pick them up the next day around 1pm while they were still piping hot. They were a bit smaller than I expected especially at the price, but will probably order again for another party since it's close to my house.
