Petite Peso is a tiny DTLA Filipino spot blending classic homestyle bites and inventive pastries, perfect for takeout with a fresh, modern twist.
"Petite Peso is a mere babe in restaurant years (and in normal years, too). That’s because this Filipino restaurant opened during the age of Coronavirus. Located in teeny storefront in DTLA, they’re serving a variety of traditional classics here, such as buttery pan de sal (slightly sweet bread rolls), lumpia, kare kare (a thick, savory stew made with peanut sauce), and adobo - all of which can upgraded to family size. Whether you’re actually feeding other people, however - that’s between you and your God. Available for takeout and delivery, call (209) 438-7376 or find them on most major apps." - kat hong

"Chef/owner Ria Barbosa of Petite Peso says that she is “ready to leave Downtown” after finding several smashed windows at her small Filipino restaurant on Monday, August 8. Barbosa says that her group is “actively looking” for other locations." - Farley Elliott
"While most of the collective's 16 members run Chinatown-based businesses, some of the members operate restaurants outside of the neighborhood, including Rice Box and Petite Peso in Downtown, and Woon Kitchen in Historic Filipinotown; everyone in the collective is of AAPI heritage." - Cathy Chaplin
"Still others, like Ria Barbosa of Downtown (mostly) takeaway Petite Peso, say that the baseline for being a restaurant is in many ways a simple exchange: food for money." - Farley Elliott
