Loved their Tokwa't Baboy especially the sauce which is not so sour. Their much-talked about crispy pata with skin is properly cooked. Service is fast which is commendable. Ambiance is nothing special maybe because it was lunchtime that I went there.

The service is amazing. The food is superb. Ghe ambiance is good. Very accessible to everyone, even senior or pwd. The staff are amazing. They have clean toilets. The only challenge will be the parking space on a busy day.

We loved all of the dishes but I'd have to say the mongo was underwhelming. But all the rest were 100% yum most especially the crispy pata. The gising gising was also really tasty and everyone on our table loved it. The asparagus with veggies were spiced really well. Food was served so quickly, my boyfriend went out for a smoke and he didnt even finish his cigarette and the food was already there! Great service from the staff and we also got to sit at the nicest spot there, on the couch. Oh and thanks for playing the bday song for me when it was time to blow out my candles on the cake we'll be back for more, for sure!

I have Standards when it comes to Crispy Pata and the pata with Livestock somewhat differed and reached the bar. FOOD The PATA tasted like it was marinated smoked before deep frying process. However, i think the Pata that was served to us lacks crispiness which is the selling point of having "Crispy" Pata. I hope that they also have served different dips for their pata and did not rely to common vinegar soysauce dip. Sinigang na Salmon - Delicious, warm, and comforting. Kare-kare - tasty and flavorful.. doesnt need the bagoong for it is already packed with flavor. Sisig- Plain. Missing the crunch and charred flavors. SERVICE Our visit is a Sunday night. Not too busy service i should say despite of quite a few group/families dined during that night. Service is a bit slow, though the servers are very polite and smiling. ATMOSPHERE A bit dark for my dining preferrence. However, it is understanding to what the design and fascade of the resto wanted to envibe... modern rustic..

Price of the crispy pata has gone up considerably (now P1265) since I last ordered but it is big and still has its award-winning tenderness, crispy skin, and taste. Still one of the best in the city. Lots of freshly cracked black pepper throughout the meat which I love. The sweet vinegary tamang anghang (heat) toyo-based (soy sauce) sauce is a perfect complement. I did a takeout and opened the box while transporting it in a car to keep the skin crunchy so I kinda smelled like crispy pata. I think I’ve never been more alluring to my wife when I got home haha.

Ate here multiple times in my life and every visit was very good. Food was really good. When they say good for 3-4 person, it really is good for 3-4 persons. Price isn't so bad. Service was really good. Our waiter proactively asked to take our picture for us. Crispy Pata is a must try in this restaurant. Limited parking space for peak hours.

Their crispy pata is probably the best one I ever had! The meat is so tender and the skin is crunchy, too. Their other food is also good. Price is reasonable.

It’s been ages since I last ate here, but the food hasn’t changed a bit. Still that perfect blend of comforting, traditional Filipino flavors, just elevated in the best way. It’s so good, I can’t wait to make this a regular stop again. Highly recommend!
