After coming here several times, we've sampled enough of the menu to attempt a meaningful review. They actually combine several different menus into one, partnering with different restaurants to license a few popular items that would work in a combo kitchen.
We started coming here to try the Senior Sisig Fil-Am fusion burritos, from the city, but they've added more local favs like Asian box and Curry Up Now.
The store is located on the quiet edge of Cupertino. There is good street parking and more parking in back. They have some indoor seating, but its mostly takeout and delivery.
// Senior Sisig
The signature sisig dish is a limey vinegary pork meat (or other kinds of meat), rolled into a burrito with adobo infused rice. They have the other typical burrito ingredients, and the whole thing is a different experience. Quite good--the reason why we came. It was worth it. You can also get the famous sisig meat in a bowl with the adobe rice and veggies.
I would avoid the Toscino sausage burrito. They actually gave me this by mistake the first time. A bit dry. I called and they fixed it. Yay sisig!
// Little Chihuahua - Mexican
We also sampled the ordinary burritos. The super burrito is what you'd expect. Ordering online, we were able to customize the carne asada experience. Whole wheat tortilla, cheese, sour cream, and guacamole, which seemed to be fresh.
The shrimp burrito was good too. I recommend not getting the super, so you can really taste the shrimpy goodness.
// Sajj - Mediteranean
I love Sajj, which is a chipotle style of build your own. Using the website, we built a chicken shwarma bowl with tumeric rice, eggplant, tzatziki, cucumber mix, on a bed of greens. Extra tahini sauce request was honored.
// Curry Up Now - Indian fusion
They call this is Indian street food, but I suspect its just more like americanized indian. Unfortunately, they don't offer the Deconstructed Samosa, my favorite item there. But we did get the Tikka Masala bowl.
One time we ate in store. It hit the spot. But when we ordered it delivered, it wasn't quite there. The chicken was okay, but the lentils were a soggy. Maybe this just doesn't travel well.
// Wise Sons - bagels
So the bagel shop has a hot pastrami sandwich. Very good flavor, meat stacked high on the sourdough, but it still seemed a little small.
// Slocumbe - Ice cream
I saw a bunch of pints so I thought why not. The crazy flavors secret breakfast, which has kids cereal in it! She said it was popular, and I can see why. They also have blue bottle vietnamise coffee. What a combo of bitter and sweet. Good stuff.
The rub was that the pints are not cheap. They were good, but the next day I happened to notice them in Andronicos for a couple bucks less. So its good if you're doing a takeout party, but don't order your icecream to stock your freezer from here.
// Asian Box
They featured a picture of the grilled chicken on the home page, so that caught our eye. Rice was good, and they had their signature street dust seasoning. Always a favorite.
Overall, there were some hits and some misses. I liked that they have such choice, and good website, and easy pickup. Now that we know what's good, its a great place for take out when we can't agree on what to get. There's something for everyone here.
