This is our go to place for catering. We've ordered a whole pig lechon and other staple filipino food and always have been very very happy. Yes it is a store and restaurant. If you've never been to an Asian store/restaurant prepare to be overwhelmed by the tiny size and close quarter seating. Culturally, this place is very typical of a filipino store as there are balikbayan boxes (boxes filled with items that filipino families pack for their loved ones at home) waiting at the front door. Definitely not American...so don't expect it! I'll be back.
This is my favorite dish that I always get whether dine in or to go. I just love the taste of it. It’s called sweet and sour Pampano. My husband likes most of their food too. This is our favorite Filipino restaurant as well. They are very nice people and very service oriented. I’ve tried their kakanin, but we’ve found someone that better suited our taste.
Bakery, Restaurant, and store all in one. Food was excellent. I had Paksiw na lechon and the special halo halo. Also I took tocino and longanisa home. All of them were delicious. I was not disappointed. I will surely be back next time I'm in Tampa. Also they have a plethora of magnolia ice cream including mango, tube, and avocado.
I cannot give this restaurant enough stars for the delicious food I had! Even though the place is small, the food is fantastic and reminds me of home. The cooking is great and the people are humble and nice. Despite living on the other side of the state, I would definitely make the drive back here in a heartbeat!

This is a grocery, store bakery, and small restaurant. The food is very good and authentic Filipino food. It is a nice quiet spot to catch a meal and grab some food to make meals in the future. It is clean and the service was great.
Love coming here with my mom--definitely get the crispy pata and/or sisig! Bought 50 lumpia for a work potluck today and everyoneee was asking where I got them. They included the sauce on the side too <3 Thanks Mercel team!
Keep up the good work!!! Light music will be nice to keep the atmosphere a little more relaxing while dining
Love this bakery! She made our wedding day amazing with the most delicious, beautiful cake ever!
