I was so excited to try it because of all the hype, but I left feeling disappointed. The empanada was too salty, the dough wasn't crispy enough, & the egg was undercooked. The taho was also bland.it was too watery & seemed to be missing flavor.

The skewers were also overpriced for the portion size. I understand that everything is more expensive these days, & I don't mind paying more if the food is really good. But paying that much for two small skewers just didn't feel worth it.

That said, the staff were very friendly & welcoming, which I really appreciated. I truly wanted to love this place, but unfortunately, the food just wasn't for me.

This place is a 10/10 by all parameters!! The food was amazing, but the staff were also so personable & the chef was extremely kind!!! We weren't even gonna dine in but decided to stay because of them :D

We had the empanadas & they exceeded my expectations by far. Worth every bite & worth a wait.

This is the best place to get deep fried empanadas! They even fry it twice so it's super crispy :))

Staff were super friendly & accommodating, even offering us drinks as we came on a particularly busy day with a backlog of orders. Got the famous empanadas & they were super yummy, filling & affordable! Will definitely recommend this place to me friends :)

Franchement, l'empanada était plutôt bonne. Visuellement, elle donnait super envie, la pâte avait un super croustillant & la farce était vraiment pleine de saveurs. En plus, le petit vinaigre à côté apportait une touche d'acidité hyper sympa. Le seul vrai problème & c'est ce qui l'empêche d'être excellent, c'est qu'elle était beaucoup trop grasse. Je pense que l'huile n'était pas assez chaude au moment de la friture, du coup la pâte a agi comme une éponge & a absorbé beaucoup trop de gras. En tant que grande fan d'empanadas, c'est dommage parce qu'il y avait un vrai potentiel, mais ce côté huileux m'a un peu écoeurée & ne m'a pas donné envie d'en reprendre une deuxième.

I was excited to try Tusok Tusok & drove 35 minutes to visit for the first time. Unfortunately, my experience was very disappointing.

After placing my order for fish balls & kikiam , I waited for over 30 minutes without any update. When I went back to the cashier to ask about my order, the staff realized they had completely forgotten it. There was no communication!

To make matters worse, I had already left a tip before receiving my food, & based on the service I experienced, it was not deserved.

I understand that mistakes can happen, but this level of service is unacceptable. I hope the team improves their attention to customers & ensures that every order is handled properly. Future customers should not have to remind the staff to prepare the food they already paid for.

The food was just okay overall. Unfortunately, the taho tasted sour & was quite bland, which was disappointing. The balut also didn't have any juice at all & was dry. The portions were surprisingly small for the price, making the meal feel overpriced. It was an interesting place to try once, but not somewhere I'd personally return to.

The food brings back a lot of childhood memories. I got the four-piece box, where you get two skewers each, & I also got the Ilocos Empanada. Honestly, it was amazing. I would definitely go there again. It's definitely something that brings a lot of warmth in my heart to feel again what I felt back in my country.

The empanadas were amazing! The crisp on them 😋 Took two to go lol.. The fish & squid balls remind me of my aunt's cart back in the Philippines & that fresh Taho.. omg.. very delicious. The sauces were good too. The price honestly seems reasonable to me. We took the box & one empanada & two drinks & we were full. Bill came to $44 with tip. The only thing I would have wanted was maybe rice on the side lol.. I know it doesn't go with the theme but hey, Filipinos need rice with their ulam lol
