Coming from a mid morning doctors appointment, we decided to pick up lunch nearby before going home. We were passing thru Filipinotown, so I searched (within google maps) Filipino restaurants along my route, and this popped up.
Its just by Temple and close to the 101 inlet, across a small hospital. The ambiance looks bare and industrial-hipster, but clean. A bit of a stark contrast to this area, which isn't the cleanest part of LA.
Their menu is very simple: BBQ CHICKEN, pork, sisig, crispy pata, and they are already served with rice ($2 to upgrade to java rice if one preferred.) Most of the meals were $12 and up.
I opted for pork sisig and crispy pata. The latter's portions were HUGE! and considering crispy pata is such a fancy feast, and was affordable for lunch, I went for it. I almost bought dessert (taho!) however they were quite expensive for a small portion so I skipped it.
I really liked how soft their pata is. The sisig had a lot of onion flavors (so that may or may not be up your alley), but overall had good flavor and was good value for the money. I wouldn't mind coming back!
A couple of parking spaces on the side of the restaurant, but the front of the restaurant also allows people to park. Not sure if they are metered.
