Please drain the empanadas before giving them to the clients. My bag & my food was soaking in grease. It's so heavy, that I regret getting two of everything at the restaurant. As other reviewers said, it's a little high in price, but I guess that's due to minimum wage/needing to balance out costs. I'd only come back for the taho.

Tusok-Tusok has been serving Filipino street food since opening in Montreal, & it's great to see a spot dedicated to the snacks many Filipinos grew up enjoying. It might even be one of the first places in the city to focus almost entirely on authentic Filipino street food, which makes it worth checking out.

The kwek-kwek is a must-order-the batter is crispy & flavorful, especially with the signature sauce. I also highly recommend the grilled intestines (isaw), which are well-grilled & bring back that true street food experience.

The only downside is the pricing. The portions are on the smaller side for what you pay, but considering they're operating out of a large commercial space in Montreal, it's understandable that rent & overhead likely play a role in the cost.

Overall, if you're craving authentic Filipino street food or want to introduce someone to these classic snacks, Tusok-Tusok is definitely worth a visit.

I really enjoyed this spot, especially the ilocos empanadas, I recommend you guys try those! I don't think you can order them anywhere else in Montreal! Skewers were yummy too, I liked the kwek kwek, the fish balls & the kikiam.
