Authentic Filipino dishes like sisig and chicken adobo
"This Beacon Hill counter spot is filled with the smell of garlic and colorful homages to Filipino culture, like a proudly displayed flag, sungkâ, and intricately woven baskets and hats. But it’s the food you’re really here for. Their peppery pork sisig has a sizzle that could replace a white noise machine you turn on before bed, and a garlic aioli that comforts like a weighted blanket. Or, if menu-related FOMO takes hold, the Island Combo provides a little taste of Chebogz’s greatest hits." - aimee rizzo, kayla sager riley
"The halo-halo from this Beacon Hill Filipino restaurant is a sugary excavation. Dig through layers of milky ice and bright purple ube ice cream to narrow in on sweetened red beans, coconut shavings, and leche flan. The mix of textures and sweet surprises is a nice change of pace from cold desserts that are just a big old pile of tasteless ice. This one keeps things interesting." - gabe guarente, kayla sager riley, aimee rizzo

"A food truck-turned-restaurant, CheBogz serves authentic Filipino dishes in its Beacon Hill space. The name has a double meaning. “Chebogs” is a Tagalog slang term meaning “to eat” while “Chez” and “Bogi” are the nicknames of owner Trixia Parais’s mother and father, respectively. Start with an order of crispy pork lumpia but save room to dig into mains like longganisa ( a Filipino sausage) grilled pork ribs, and beef kare kare served in a rich peanut sauce. Vegetarians aren’t forgotten about, with veg-friendly options like tofu and vegetable sisig. Wash your meal down with calamansi juice, a tart and refreshing Filipino citrus fruit." - Alicia Erickson
