Never judge a book by its cover. You can call me one of the OG customers of Manila Turo-Turo since we all have been coming here since “Darling” was the owner.
It has been through a few change of ownerships since then, but under the new regime, it feels and tastes just like the good old days, even better.
If you haven’t been here before, the food is authentic homestyle Filipino food covering all the top favorite ulam (dishes) from sinigang na baboy, adobo, pancit, lechon kawali, binagoongan and the must have pusit.
Service is genuine Pinoy hospitality with mom and daughter team upfront serving food with smiles. The dining area is small but similar to eating in Nanay’s (mom’s) kitchen.
My favorite is tocino and longaniza. Both are always soft and tender with kapampangan style timpla in the longaniza. It’s been consistent so far in the way it is served along with their very delicious sinangag (garlic fried rice) which alone can be enjoyed by itself along with the perfectly cooked egg on top.
There are many choices in the Bay Area if you are craving for good Filipino food, but if you’re in the vicinity of Manila Turo-Turo or even 500+ miles away, it’s worth the drive every time.
