Meryenda

The burgers here were super good and very juicy! I tried the bistek burger pan and the pork longganisa pan. The sauce they used was really unique and added a good balance to the burger. The kamote chips were crispy and had great flavor. The service was friendly and welcoming. Will definitely come back again!

We had Impossible burger and chips. Both of them are really good. Service was nice. 10$ burger is very filling. Got to know more about history of this truck. Highly recommend trying out.

This is a food truck in a commissary of Belmont. I came here for my Friday night dinner. I had a hard time choosing what to get because on one hand, I was curious about the aioli sauces that come with the Bistek Pan and the Chicken Adobo Pan, but I was also craving longganisa. (The longganisa one comes with mayo.) In the end I did end up getting the Pork Longganisa Pan. The "bun" is a large Filipino pandesal and the patty is made of longganisa meat. It came with a fried egg and a slice of tomato. Since I grew up in the Philippines, I tend to prefer smaller meals than the average American and this one Pan probably got me 90% full for dinner, which was great since I don't like feeling overly full. If you're a hearty eater, I'd definitely recommend getting two Pans for a complete meal. I'm personally not super big on chips with a meal (I tend to think of them as a standalone stack) but I also sampled the kamote (sweet potato) chips and they were good too. Nice to have another place serving Filipino food in the neighborhood!

Tried Meryenda for the first time at Humble Sea brewery up in Pacifica. Heard they also stop by South San Francisco farmer’s market occasionally as well. The pandesal bread tastes like a thicker and heartier Hawaiian roll: the same melt in your mouth texture. But, the bread soaked and held up all the tasty sauces and meat that make this food truck worth trying! Their sweet potato chips are memorable with a very nice crisp. Can’t wait to try their Ube chips when they come back in season! Also, tried their buko pandan bread pudding, and it’s a flavorful bread pudding that has a nice custard like texture and pandan flavor. I don’t usually get bread pudding anywhere, not my favorite. But their bread pudding is changing my mind!

Unique modern Filipino sandwiches. Pro tip: the impossible sandwich is amazing even if you aren't vegan.

Great sandwiches with a Filipino Twist. Get the Longganisa Burger!

So sad this place has closed. They were the perfect sized lunch at a reasonable price. Corned beef pan was really good. It had some crispy bits which was a delightful surprise. I don't know it was from the fried in onion or if the corned beef edges were crispy or maybe it was both. The caramelized onions were in the corned beef patty and it was a bit salty as expected from the soy sauce but the pandesal bun and egg balanced it out perfectly. The adobo pan was really good. Flavor of the adobo was traditional with the soy sauce, vinegar, garlic and pepper. I was going to save the whole thing for dinner but decided to take a couple bites to try it fresh and I'm glad I did as there were some crispy onions (I think) in it that would've lost their crisp. The owners wife says to keep following their IG account (@eatmeryenda) as they plan to resurface in the future in some way.

Great for a quick snack spot! It's situated around a little parking area in belmont. They have one table to sit on, but otherwise you would either have to stand or stay in your car for a snack. The staff are very friendly and the food was really good. We grabbed the spam and adobo sandwiches. I would come back here for more, the only downside is that they have short open times.

Whether you have the munchies from smoking weed or need some carby salty goodness with a beer on a hot day, Meryenda has got you covered. Typically, a pandesal (pan de sal) is a staple bread in the Philippine culture that soaks up liquid really well. I've seen old filipino geezers eating it with their coffee at local filipino coffee shops, so when I checked out this food truck, I was curious. I went to one of their collab events at Humble Sea and after crushing several dranks, I wobbled over to Meryenda and ordered up a Longanisa w/ chips. Longanisa is like their version of a sweet chorizo. While smothered with sweet mayo, then smackled with scallions and a thin carpaccio slice of tomato, it brought this cute sammich altogether. Though I ate all these sammiches, I saw that they also served dessert too! Looked like a piping hot green colored pandan coconut bread putting made of the same pandesal bread. It might put me out if I ate that! Observing the people around me, it looked like dessert was made for sharing between two or if you're a fat a s s like me, you'll indulge in all of it! Definitely going back and recommending this to others who like trendy new spots in the bay.

Food is pretty legit. Bistek burger is seasoned decently- can taste the acidity/lemon that makes it bistek! Service is friendly! He answered all my questions about the Dalandan soda. Soda enthusiasts should try. Ambiance was great as we beat the lunch rush! Happy they came to Pacifica today

So glad to have been introduced to this food truck!! Delicious, amazing Filipino food with a twist, made by such kind and passionate owners. Arrived at their food truck during lunch hours with my dog. The truck is located in the middle of a commissary, but there is lots of neighborhood parking nearby and a sign to direct you to the truck! There is one small table with seating, so expect the meal to be more to-go style. Meryenda serves pandesalwiches: a larger-than-normal pandesal as the soft bun, and different options such as bistek, longanisa, and chicken adobo as the filling. We ordered: 1. Bistek Burger Pan ($10): my favorite!! The patty was juicy calamansi citrus beef, and the caramelized onions were delicious!! This one comes with the Meryenda sauce, which is made in house and has a very strong garlic umami flavor. 2. Pork Longganisa Pan Combo with Calamansi juice and Kamote chips ($14): such a good deal for a side and a drink. The patty is made of a home-made longganisa, and the sandwich also came with a fried egg! 3. Chicken Adobo Pan ($10): Chicken adobo is one of my favorite foods ever, and I was not disappointed. The braised chicken was so juicy and tender, and went perfectly with the fried onions and calamansi citrus aioli. 4. Suman Bread Pudding ($5): refreshing bread pudding with coconut and pandan flavor! The leftover pan is used to make this; I love the crunch of the cubed pan paired with the soft, pleasant pudding 5. Kamote chips: sweet potato chips with the perfect amount of salt! It is very clear that they make these fresh; they are so addicting. Each pandesalwich was so filling - I couldn't even finish the combo! And at $10 each, you get such high quality food - from the flavorful patties/meats, the housemade sauce, the freshness from tomato and scallions, and of course the soft pandesal. I had the privilege of meeting the chefs Anton and Richard. They have such a strong passion for cooking and sharing this unique twist on filipino food, and I hope that more people get to experience their delicious food! If you are in the area, I highly recommend checking out this food truck! I have never before found a food truck with such high quality, well-priced meals!

A hidden gem for amazing, unique Filipino sandwiches for $10. Zero-wait made to order burgers that are worth the trip. Pork Longganisa - super juicy, aromatic and tender. Probably the best pork patty I've ever had. Unlike the bistek, the flavors here are classic and familiar. It's a solid sandwhich that I would universally recommend. Bistek Burger - I would consider this the specialty item of this food truck. The beef burger is incredibly juicy, and best enjoyed while it's piping hot. The special sauce is the star of the show, with a slight tartness for balance and incredible depth of flavor with a calamansi-forward accents. The burger is bold, assertive, and super unique. I highly recommend it to anyone looking to try something new. At $10 a burger, the food is priced really aggressively. Whether it is to attract early customers, or make a competitive dent in the inflation-driven price hikes of other vendors, this small, local business is offering a great deal! I would take advantage while they are still low-key. It's only a matter of time before it really takes off.

If you're looking for a hidden gem in the neighborhood, Meryenda is it! I tried the bistek burger, and it was awesome! The bread was perfectly moist and had a hint of sweetness that complemented the juicy and slightly tart burger. The caramelized onions and sauce was a great complement. What truly sets Meryenda apart, though, is the super exceptional service. The staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming. While I waited for my order, they even offered me some kamote chips, which were a tasty and thoughtful touch. I'll admit the food truck is in a bit of an odd location, but it's definitely worth the visit. I can't wait to go back and try their pork longanisa burger!

Ordered lunch via DoorDash and was very pleased with my order. Really enjoyed the pork longganisa pan, which was very hearty and had the right mix of sweet and savory flavors. Our group also liked the chicken adobo pan and spamsilog pan. Sweet potato chips were crispy without any grease at all. Buko pandan bread pudding made for a great dessert. One pan is big enough to make for a very hearty lunch for one adult.

A new Filipino fusion food truck near me that is really tasty! While it's in Belmont, it's worth a drive to come try it out! We've had the Bistek and the adobo chicken, along with kamote chips. Both are really excellent. I had the chicken for the first time today and was struck by how juicy and flavorful that is. My partner says he likes the chicken a bit more, but both are really flavorful. What you're getting here is a mix of flavor that is super well balanced -- sour/salt/sweet/savory. When the description says the sauce on the bistek is an umami bomb, they are not kidding -- it's exactly that in a delicious way. The combination of ingredients, sauces and toppings have clearly been thoughtfully chosen to give you that balanced flavor experience. The portion sizes are excellent -- a bigger than a slider, but not a massive burger. One burger and a side of chips makes a perfect lunch. They have vegetarian options, too, though I haven't tried those. :-) I'm hoping they get to show up at some of the area food truck events, because I think this is the next hot thing, yall -- the pandesal burgers are just SO f'ing good and the flavor profile is unique and well, *craveable.* Goooo!

Friendly, warm service. Dog friendly since it's a food truck. Delicious burger and chips. Homemade mayo. The drinks are canned and what you would find at Asian markets; also delicious. A double combo meal is $32 with tax, an excellent deal for what you get!

The longanisa burger is what dreams are made of. Seriously. The flavors are just so on point - savory with a hint/perfect amount of sweet. The chips are pretty delish as well. Cut super thin and with the right amount of salt. I 100% recommend this place!

Food was delicious and service is great. I love that they are in the area and hope to visit even more frequently!

Went to this place today. Ordered the Bistek Beef Burger. It's very tasty & the burger sandwich is quite big. Will be back to try their other sandwiches. This place is definitely worth trying.

We had Impossible burger and chips. Both of them are really good. Service was nice. 10$ burger is very filling. Got to know more about history of this truck. Highly recommend trying out.

This new local outfit is now in our family's regular rotation. We were impressed by the on-point flavors in every sandwich and their freshly cooked Kamote chips. The chefs are always friendly and ready to serve rain or shine which is a plus! We order online for pick-up so we can time our arrival when the food is hot and fresh - but we've also had to wait half an hour-ish before consuming and the sandwiches still hit the spot then! Also good reheat value for the occasional leftovers. Their Beef Bistek and Impossible Chorizo (with fried egg! yum) are the current favorites, but we've had all four and enjoyed every one. Just depends on what we are craving at the moment.

My mouth is watering! Can't wait to try... May need to come straight from SFO! What a great idea... An authentic Filipino pood truck!
