With their special twist on a Filipino happy hour dish sisig, Señor Sisig took the portability of their favorite Mexican taqueria dishes and melded the two together to reflect their diverse palette and down-home appeal. Though sisig is traditionally made from parts of the pig's head bought from the butcher to make use of the entire pig, Señor Sisig's more palatable version uses the meatier pork shoulder. Taken from his father's family's recipe in Pampanga, a region renowned as the "breadbasket" of the Philippines for its legacy in culinary traditions, Chef Gil Payumo marinates the pork shoulder for over 24 hours in a special blend of spices and charbroils the meat until it is packed with succulent juicy flavor. He then uses it as the base for most of the dishes. Not a pork lover? They also have an outstanding version with chicken and tofu, every bit as delicious and filling.
"Filipino-American pioneer Senor Sisig has been winning fans with its sisig-stuffed Mission-style burritos for more than a decade now, and the Ferry Building outpost makes for an accessible and affordable dining option on the Embarcadero. Order a torta or the shop’s version of a Taco Bell Crunchwrap with a bottle of ube horchata to enjoy on the back patio just off the water." - Lauren Saria, Eater Staff
"Señor Sisig’s first permanent location in the Mission serves a meat-free menu of Filipino-inspired dishes including burritos stuffed with adobo garlic rice and fries topped with your choice of protein, nacho cheese, sour cream, guac, and pico de gallo. But you can also get your fix at the Ferry Building outpost." - Paolo Bicchieri, Eater Staff

"The pioneers behind this Filipino-American food truck are not to be slept on. The burritos aren’t exactly traditional but rather take a Mission-style burrito and swim it through the Pacific archipelago, meaning fillings like adobo garlic rice, cilantro cream sauce, and, naturally, the restaurant’s take on classic Filipino sisig. They use pork butt instead of pig face, but it’s still a hearty and flavorful dish, though the menu also includes several vegan protein options." - Lauren Saria, Paolo Bicchieri, Eater Staff
