The best Santa Maria BBQ in Santa Maria? It very well may be…read more The Filipino Community Center opens its doors during the weekends and serves mouthwatering, tender, smoky, and delicious barbecue. If someone visited me, and asked me where to go for signature Santa Maria style barbecue, I'd tell them to go here. Get the tri tip. Get the chicken. Get napkins, because you may cry. This place is like a local secret. We only heard about it through friends and neighbors we know. They have plenty of bench style seating in the community center. Many people just do takeaway. Is it the best? It's a tough call. But if there was a competition, Filipino community center bbq may be best of 3

Very tasty, delicious BBQ…read more I've been a customer for decades. Just wanted to jump on here and spread the word that the BBQ is at the center. Super delicious flavoring, seasoning and the meat was juicy (I ordered the chicken). You can ask for all salad (no rice) or all rice (no salad). The lumpia takes them about 5 minutes to deep fry on the spot to order. The outer wrapping is nice and lightly crspy; very satisfying with an insanely delicious aroma. Soooo good. Inside was corn kernels, carrot, peas, and ground meat. A little hard to find but not really. Just drive on Preisker and it's the driveway entrance after Boomers nextdoor. Directly across from the firestation. Go inside the center to order and get food. Nice friendly staff. Love it! My favorite. I send my my fam that visits from out of town here and they rave about it too.

So with the horrible traffic on the 101 we got there around 11:30, figuring there won't be much left half hour before closing. The location is a private Ranch - looks like it could be used as a wedding or party venue? Anyway the baked goods were indeed mostly gone with the owner Tracy telking us she had sold over 80 scones that morning. But bc there were only 2 scones left and we wanted more , Tracy was kind enough to put some more in the oven for us. We left were a couple bags of goodies - the homemade pop tarts with fresh made jam, Scottish cream scones, lemon poundcake and shortbread cookies. All were delish! The pop tarts though.... omg ... soooo good. I could eat these every day. $5 per item and worth every calorie ....yummmm!

Seeing that there was only 1 review, we were skeptical of coming. We checked their Instagram ahead…read moreof time and thought what the heck let's go check it out. We were welcomed by the warmest and friendliest smiles of Oscar/Glenn and Denisse. Oscar asked if we wanted coffee and because we had already had coffee earlier we decided to split one. I'd say it was pretty good coffee. We also tried the pop tart and the quiche. We thoroughly enjoyed both! The pop tart was so tasty! We bought 3 more! And a pie. The bakery farm stand is part of their home which you can imagine set for a very homey and comfortable experience. My husband and I played bocce while we were there. Oscar gave all the credit to his wife Tracy who does all the baking with the help of Denisse. We will definitely be back when we are in town. I feel honored to be the second review of the Bakery Farmstand. Thank you Glenn, Tracy, and Denisse for a beautiful experience.

I've only had the meatballs and pasta from this tiny establishment just 2 blks east of 101@ Tefft…read moreAve. I grew up in a 'little Italy' neighborhood south of downtown San Jose and ate plenty of local deli and restaurant plus home cooked Italian meals. These meatballs remind me of those days! These are fine textured, tender and juicy with plenty of meaty flavor. The sauce (or gravy) was JUST like my friends' Nonnas, and rivals the iconic La Villa Deli sauce, seasoned with a delicate touch and not oversalted. I 'll try some of the other Italian sandwiches, incl the Pastrami dip, which was a childhood favorite. Very friendly staff and they do a steady takeout trade, so call in if you're in a time crunch.

Cute little shop/stand located in the parking lot of a deli. Lots of residential street parking or…read moreif you are lucky theres like 5 spots at the deli. Got here around 12 PM on a Saturday and there was a line already. Moves quick though. We ordered 2 drinks which costed almost $20 after taxes and without tips. Pretty pricey compared to socal matcha spots. They cost around $8 a cup. I got the strawberry matcha and it was okay. Compared to rok or airoma, it's definitely not worth it. The cup is pretty small for the price and the taste is mid. The strawberry reminds me of the jam in the jar you buy for sandwiches. The straws are also not very functional. Small and weak so mixing was a struggle and it was hard to drink from as the straw was deteriorating. There really isn't any seats there so it's more of a pick up and go kind of place. Hope their drinks improve for the price they are charging. As you aren't really paying for service or ambiance, just the drink. Wanted to try their blueberry matcha but it was sold out.

They even have a woman making handmade, HANDMADE! Tortillas!! Ordered burritos and a quesadilla de Suadero(rib meat) and it was very tasty. Burritos were nicely filled with carne asada. But they have all the meats you could think of, even buche and el trompo. Everything was delicious and tasted as if we were back in Mexico Very nice Taqueros, Carlos and Francisco, plus they know what they are doing and two young ladies that were very helpful and kind. They are also there every evening. Try them out‼
