"A few miles north of San Diego’s Filipino dining destination (also known as National City), Fredcel offers many of those same dishes in a very different venue: no long lines, no buffet. Just the food behind a display case, ready for consumption. This family-run kitchen, in a bright yellow building around the corner from a dollar store, churns out Filipino standards like beef lumpia, pancit and chicken adobo. While a quick lunch is one way to go, Fredcel is especially geared toward catering. Trays of various sizes, with prices written in large sans serif labels, make figuring out quantities easy." - Roxana Popescu
