About

Tusok-Tusok centers on the vibrant world of Filipino street food, serving items like crispy empanadas and golden, deep-fried kwek kwek. The menu showcases various savory skewers, including fish balls and charred isaw, prepared to mirror traditional snack culture. Every portion leans into bold, salty profiles and textures defined by a signature crunch. While the fried selections maintain a noticeable oiliness, the flavor intensity remains faithful to home-style preparation. The menu strictly highlights these portable snacks, omitting rice-based dishes to keep the focus entirely on these singular, iconic bites that define the local snacking experience.

Review Summary

Tusok-Tusok offers a nostalgic experience for those seeking authentic Filipino street food in Montreal, with many diners praising the crispy empanadas, flavorful kwek kwek, and classic skewers like fish balls and isaw. While the food effectively captures the taste of traditional snacks, feedback remains mixed regarding the pricing and portion sizes, which some feel are a bit high. Concerns were also raised about excess grease on fried items and the lack of rice options, yet the establishment remains a popular destination for those wanting to enjoy unique and nostalgic treats that are otherwise difficult to find in the city.

Wow that ilocos empanadas is insane. One of the crunchiest thing I've ever eaten. Not overly oily & not overly salty. Well balanced :)
Absolutely get it at the restaurant (for $8,50) instead of the festival (because it's more expensive there!)
Love the'Boîte Street' with 2 x 4 flavours of fishballs. A really nice discovery ❤?

The taho wasn't what I expected, but everything else we ordered was good, fairly priced, filling, & the sauces were great. The place was also very clean. The only thing I'd suggest is a little more welcoming energy & enthusiasm from the staff. We did come in during the evening, so I understand it may have been a long day, but a bit more warmth would make the dining experience even better & reflect the Filipino hospitality we're known for.

Very disappointed, the batter was too thick & even if there was lots of filling, i cannot get past the batter. It was making a squeaky sound between my teeth when i try to bite into it. Also the bathrooms have no lights??

I was super hyped when i heard & saw that theyre selling empanadas now! I also got highly influenced by tiktokers who tried it but to my dismay… the hype is not worth it. The batter is thick & the filling didnt taste anything. I had to eat it with a lot of sauce just to make it'enjoyable'. I saw some reviews saying it was too salty so i guess they just overall toned down with the seasoning 😬

& the price? Wew.. 10$ for one is crazy.. everything on their menu is overpriced & youre paying for the brand & logo more than the quality & taste of their food.

We had the empanada 8.50$ before taxes (10$). The batter is too thick! It has a lot of yummy fillings, but i cannot get past the thick batter where it should be thin & crispy

The empanadas were salty literally unedible without a sweet drink. I bought 3 & 2 of them were too salty.

This place is a gem. Honestly can't wait to go back. I drove from the south shore just to try the empinadas & it did not disappoint. The food is crazy good the pork balls & pork skewers were so good. The service was a 10 on 10. I left with my food & had a bite while in my car & had to do a u turn to go back for there vinegar sauce cuz it is addictive. They were so nice to me they gave me a large cup on the house. I especially appreciate the service from the staff they are super nice . Thanks MARF
( I hope I spelled it right)
I recommend this place to everyone

If you're Filipino, this feels like home, & if you're not, this is a great place to start. Very authentic street food experience (complete with your choice of dips/sauces) in a clean, trendy atmosphere. Decent price too. The modern Filipino spot the Montreal food scene needs - 11/10 would come back!
