Tapsilog Cantina

I ordered the loco moco ground beef patty with lots of gravy which was topped with a over medium egg on a scoop og harlic rice. Not to mention the very crisp tater tots. The beef patty was a little overcooked but still delicious. Maybe next time ask to have the beef patty medium. We also ordered bangus fish and lechon kawali with garlic rice which was even a better choice. The tocino was homemade which i appreciate. All in all a good filipino restaurant with a great selection.

Decent size cantina. I liked that they have 'sungka' on the table to use while waiting for your order. Plenty of sauces and oil for condiments. Service is great. Friendly, accommodating and helpful. I ordered the Sisigsilog, and I like the generous portion. The plating of the food is actually efficient and labor-saving with the use of banana leaf on top of bamboo paperplate. The sisig was good but i think it needs a bit more mayo. Nonetheless, it did hit the spot. Will definitely come back again.

On September 3rd around 12:15 PM, I asked for hot water in a double cup — which makes it very clear I wanted it hot. The server literally filled it straight from the sink, lukewarm, and I saw it with my own eyes. Then he handed it to me and said “hot,” with zero care, almost mocking. That’s just disrespectful and lazy service. If you check your cameras, you’ll even see my reaction — I walked out, poured the water out right away, and left the cup on the table. If staff can’t even handle something this simple, it shows how little they care about customers. Definitely not coming back.

My first time to order food here. I was lazy to cook and wanted just buy cooked food instead. My mom who is sick wanted to order pinakbet. The pinakbet super lansa ang taste. Then I ordered my favorite dish which is kalderetang goat, I very dissapointed how bad is taste 😩 kulang sa tomato sauce tapos ang tigas ng karne at maanta ang lasa! I understand its a commercial bzness buti kung mura lang ang price, its expensive for that kind of taste. Very dissapointed 😞 I will never go back here again. Everything I ordered was nothing to expectation. I think they should hire a good cook so that people will be satisfied and happy.

Welcoming and cozy atmosphere. Food is homemade, made one by one - explains why they are delicious! Staff are attentive, and the owner often checks in with people, even recognizing patrons that visit.

They also occasionally play some city pop - heard plastic love even come on the radio!

Silog platters are great value as well. You can add more meats for just a little bit more. Tried the ribeye steak, was also pretty good.
Great place for any kind of meet up, whether casual or for post-work vibes.

Highly recommend this place.

Sorry, not so good. I was excited to try this place, it reminded me of some of the many Filipino parties my wife's family have given, but we would have never served food like this. The pork skewers I ordered were mostly inedible fat. The pork adobo silog my wife ordered was also mostly unrendered fat. The rice tasted like it was old. I really wish the food was better, especially paying $45 for two silog dishes.

Absolutely loved this spot! Ed, the owner, is amazing — super welcoming and passionate about what he does. The service was top-notch from start to finish, and the food? Incredible. Flavor-packed, fresh, and authentic. Definitely one of those places you want to keep coming back to. Highly recommend if you're in the area!

First time there. Greeted by nice waiter. Only had time for lumpia. They were yummy. Crispy crunchy and good sauces too
Was not too happy to see there was a happy hour and what we ordered was cheaper on the happy hour menu.

I ordered pork adobo and the pork was hard as a rock. It was old and probably sitting out all day. I tried to call for a refund and the phone just rang at 8:27 pm. Halo halo was not good. Not a lot of ingredients. This was at the cantina. Seafood sinigang is the only entree I like at both locations.
I had ordered Lechon kawali at the bistro and did not like it. It was fried pork belly and it did not come out crispy. Also not tender.

Disappointed twice now.

Tapsilog was overall a miss for me.

The service was really great. The food was pretty good. The meat fell a little bit short for the price and the soup could’ve had more vegetables in it, but it all tasted great. The service was excellent.

Love some good Filipino food! Everything were so tasty. The only “meh” was the pansit bihon. They cut the noodles about .25” so they sort of looked like leftover. Not that great tasting either. But the shrimp, Tocino and tamarind soup were yummy. They have polite and friendly staff. They are all efficient! Price was also fair and you will be full when you leave. Highly recommend!

What we got was average. They are very kind though and all seven of us got ice cream even though we did not all order the combos. Garlic rice was a bit dry and the garlic taste was very subtle.

The portions was definitely above average though for what you pay for. The burritos at the other table looked super good and HUGE! May have to try those next time. And also try their happy hour, Thurs all day, Fri-Sun 2:30pm - 6:30pm

Brought my family here from our of town around brunch/lunch time. They have mancala at the table while you wait. I ordered the pork moco while my wife order some kind of fish stew.

The pork moco is delicious. It came with tater tots and they smothered it with gravy so it was perfect. The rice given is garlic rice and it complements the entire dish no matter how you combine it.

My wife fish stew was also excellent. Its mackerel in a tomato sauce similar to the ones you get in a tin can but they added extra spice to it. It's not a knock on it, I find it very delicious and I would actually prefer this over my pork moco.

Either way for the two dishes I ordered, can't go wrong with either of them.
