I got the Lumpia nachos, ube canolis, lumpia and one of their specials that I believe is something of a deep fried shumai. The lumpia nachos leaned sweet. The sauce that you can optionally dip your lumpia in was already pre-added. The chips are wonton chips. It has a good crunch. Getting normal lumpia is probably the better move here. For that I ended up getting two meats because they were out of one of them. I can't remember which but I'm fairly sure that whatever is the more popular one, is the better one. There was a stark difference between the two. I enjoyed the ube canolis and the special. I don't think I have to get either again but that's fine because they have so many other items along with an almost overwhelming number of specials.

Solid 4.5 stars My…read morewife, mother-in-law, and I ran into the folks from The Parlor at Fallbrook Winery. They were serving up Wagyu smash burgers, hotdogs, and chili. Their pop-up restaurant moves around to various venues, like wineries and breweries. The service was very good, and Chef Taylor (owner) and his staff were super friendly and open to my feedback. We tried the Old Yeller ($14), a Wagyu beef hotdog served with chips and a sweet pickle. We also tried a bowl of their Wagyu Homestead Chili ($12), topped with cheddar cheese and jalapeños. Their menu primarily focuses on Wagyu burgers, but we had eaten a large breakfast, so we just wanted to try something smaller. I enjoyed pairing the chili on my chips with the red wines we were tasting. We enjoyed everything we tried, and I would love to check them out again to try a burger. I recommend that you follow them on IG ("eatparlor") to see where they'll be popping up next.

As a mestiza bride, serving Filipino food at my wedding was non negotiable but finding a full…read moreservice Filipino caterer in San Diego was honestly so frustrating. Every local option I came across would only drop off the food with zero staffing for cocktail hour, buffet service, bussing, or a late night snack. Then an ad for Tisoy Curryative Cuisines popped up on my Instagram feed & I am so glad it did! From the very first message, Matthew the owner was super responsive & made the whole process so easy. He got back to me within 24 hours, his pricing fit our budget perfectly, & he even reached out to our venue on his own to confirm everything was good to go before we even booked. No issues whatsoever. It also meant so much to me to hire a Filipino owned business that actually knows this food rather than some generic catering company just claiming they could pull it off. On the wedding day Tisoy completely exceeded my expectations. They served lumpia during cocktail hour in the cutest little appetizer dishes with sweet chili sauce & honestly it tasted exactly like my mom's recipe. I never got to do a tasting beforehand so I was a little nervous but the lumpia recipe was perfect. Our guests were obsessed. The buffet setup was gorgeous & their staff served at the line which was great for portion control & kept the line moving fast. The star of the night was the whole roasted lechon. It was absolutely beautiful & cooked to perfection. We did a lechon cutting photo instead of a cake cutting & it came out so good. We had guests who flew in from the Philippines & even they said they could tell it was cooked by Filipinos. That honestly says it all. The staff bussed all the tables as dinner wrapped up & then came back out at 9pm with a late night lumpia snack that everyone went crazy for. The next morning I woke up & Tisoy had already posted a reel of our wedding on Instagram. I wasn't expecting that at all and it was such a sweet & impressive touch. If you need a filipino caterer who truly shows up, knows the food, & handles every single detail from start to finish, book Tisoy Curryative Cuisines. You won't regret it! I can't wait to throw another party so I can hire them again!!!

It was about a 20 minute wait but they were at a USA World Cup game and the bar was packed and everyone was ordering food so that was expected.

My friends got the quesadilla and that portion was also huge and they enjoyed it

Owner was kind enough to bring me my food. He recommended the burrito that's not listed on the menu. I'm a sucker for adobada & couldn't resist. He did inform me the meats were greasy and that was no lie. I've never had adobada like this, bigger chunks of pork. The Chipotle sauce is delicious on the burrito. It was almost $20 but it's all meat, no fillers and very heavy. I'm never in North Park but I found this place on Yelp. Don't get disappointed, they don't have a bunch of stuff you see in the pictures.

It's all about the details! Santa's Lair definitely lived up to its height! We can't wait for next year. My only critique would be a better location- downtown is a mess and there's absolutely no parking without having to break the bank!

I would recommend checking this Christmas pop up bar out!

The vibe was cute and laid back and the service incredible. Despite the fact that it was very busy, the food came out really quickly. I will absolutely head back down to IB just to come here again. 10/10 recommend.

They also have a young man who plays jazz piano there every Sunday, so the ambiance is pretty awesome along with the nice weather. Sometimes it can get windy so bring a sweater, but otherwise, it's usually a really nice day to hang out with friends and family. I also had a matcha ginger thyme latte with oat milk which was just tasty since ginger is a rare flavor in coffee drinks. I loved it, and it was so good that I took an extra one home. The service is amazing, and on busy days you may have to wait a bit, but it's worth it. If you have any questions about a dish, don't hesitate to ask!
