Filipino food options are limited where I live in SATX. However, the filipino food here was...not the best I ever had. Enough to somewhat satisfy if you're craving, but not really satisfying.

I thought the sinigang was way too sour and salty. It tasted like they poured 10 packets of tamarind soup mix into a small pot (ang asim!). The dinuguan could also have had more of the blood pudding/soup served with it, and more vinegar in the dish. The lumpia shanghai was a little burnt. And the pork BBQ was ok. The kare kare was fine too, I wish it had more peanut butter in it and some more shrimp paste. Service was also a little slow when my family and I went. We went during karaoke night, but there was only 1 other party in the restaurant.

The karaoke host can sing very well though. 👌 But also why are the speakers super loud? The tables are maybe only 2 feet from the stage 😭 We couldn't even hear our server when we were ordering.

From “I Like” to “I Love”

I’ve been a fan of most of the Filipino restaurants in San Antonio, but Mahal’s Kitchen is my home. I love Mahal’s Kitchen! The friendly vibes, the genuine care, and the love they put into every dish make it special.

And their beef caldereta? Absolute BOMB. Best in town, no contest. 100% worth visiting!

After driving 24 hours into town for a wedding, we were dead set on having authentic Filipino cuisine — and Mahal’s Kitchen absolutely delivered!

Even though DoorDash completely dropped the ball on our order, Mahal’s Kitchen went above and beyond with patience and diligence to make sure we still got our food. Their commitment to their customers really shows.

And the food? Absolutely perfect. Every bite tasted like home — comforting, flavorful, and exactly what we needed after such a long trip. Truly a “home away from home” experience.

Highly recommend Mahal’s Kitchen for anyone craving genuine Filipino flavors and amazing service! Maraming salamat po! Ang sarap po talaga ng pagkain ninyo! 💛💙❤️ 🇵🇭✨

We worked with Mahal’s to cater a special event for us for 200 people. This business was outstanding from consult to day of service! They were professional, listened to our needs, and were overall amazing! And of course the food was delicious! Our guests continued to rave about the food all night! Highly recommend!

Super friendly staff, they were extremely good with suggesting additions/options for this order and next time without being pushy at all. Both my wife’s dinner and my own were 10/10. Had dishes I haven’t had in a decade and they just knocked it out of the park. The Biko rice cake dessert was absolutely insane. Almost like Mochi cake and Flan had a baby. Covered in caramel and just the right texture.

They came by and served food at my office through a service called Fooda. I tried the lumpia and a pork skewer, and the food was hot, crispy, and delicious. I can’t wait to go and dine in!!

I ordered the vegetarian pansit and it was very tasty and the veggies were fresh and well cooked. They serve a big portion so it’s definitely worth the price, which is super important these days. The service was great! We were not familiar with much Filipino food and the server was super friendly and offered to explain some of the dishes and which ones were popular. They also do karaoke every Friday night which I’m hoping to attend soon! Highly recommend this place and will definitely be going back.

Such delicious food and wonderful service! Everyone worked hard to make sure everything was delicious and fresh. If you're new to Philippino food, they have a buffet on Saturday and Sunday where you can try a variety of food and desserts. Our precious server (RB.... Also the owner) told us they have karaoke on Friday and we are excited to come to that!

We hired Mahal's Kitchen to cater at our wedding reception and couldn't have been happier with our choice! They were very helpful and accomodating in the planning phase (sent pictures and helped me figure out serving sizes), timely and efficient on the day of the wedding, and were very kind to our guests during service. There was more than enough food for everyone and we had plenty to give away and take home after the reception. Our guests loved the food, boba, and juice!
