Genuinely one of the best meals I've ever had. We got the crispy boodle with garlic rice. Everything was so crispy and tender, especially the lechon. The owner was incredibly sweet and nice and service was amazing. He even gave us a free halo-halo which was delicious. The place felt cozy and very welcoming, I absolutely be coming back here. read more

The service here was amazing. I forgot to catch his name but the guy that served us was super nice and gave us a complimentary halo-halo. The food was incredible as well. The lechon-kawali was so soft and juicy. All the food was freshly made and overall it was a superb experience. 10/10 recommend. read more

My usual spot when craving Filipino food in town and I'm too lazy to make it myself or I just was something nice and crunchy! My go to is the bangsilog for breakfast with garlic fried rice and egg! Yum! And when I need some crunch I order the lechon kawali and the pork ruffles they pair well with the vinegar sauce and rice. You can't forget dessert the halo halo is the way to go! The crushed ice, sweet beans, coconut jellies, cream and condensed milk all the different textures and flavors especially on a hot day. read more

A welcoming family run Filipino spot where husband is the main one taking orders and serving the food. I felt a little guilty coming in at 6:30 when they close at 7pm but there was still another party that came at 6:45. I appreciate that they didn't mention anything about closing soon or that they didn't have enough time to prepare the foods. Restaurant is good size with about 10 tables that seat 4-6 people. Food was ready in 20 mins. The skewers had such a tempting sweet charred aroma on the grilled pork and chicken. Both were juicy and not dry but 8 skewers for $39 is a little steep read more

FoodTrip - full, happy, and smiling. We loved this place. First of all, the young waiter (owner's son maybe?) was everywhere -- running the floor nonstop with the best attitude. Super attentive, genuinely hardworking, and honestly impressive. I ordered the crispy milkfish (the famous Filipino national fish), and my husband had the chicken skewers. The seasoning was slightly bold, but with rice it was perfectly balanced -- exactly how it should be. At the next table, a group ordered noodles and Crispy Pata. What a generous portion of the food! Let me just say: that pork leg looked like something a medieval barbarian would proudly feast on. Huge. Legendary. Easily enough for four people. This is not a "small portion" place. This is a come hungry, leave very full kind of place -- in the best way. We were curious about the ube ice cream, and they kindly treated us to it. A lovely surprise and a sweet ending. Bonus: Bible verses on the walls made the whole space feel warm and welcoming. Great food, generous portions, kind people. This feels like a place destined to succeed. We'll be back. read more

This place is our go-to for Filipino food! We love their pork BBQ and dinakdakan. Their sisig bangus and pinakbet are also good! The people here are so welcoming and nice! The owners are down-to-earth and fun to talk to! They always have Tagalog songs playing in the background, and you feel you are back in the Philippines. read more

FoodTrip - BBQ LUNCH SPECIAL !!! - Filipino Near Me - Santa Maria, California

Good food, reasonable price. Lechon is really crispy. Pancit taste good and wholesome

So outstanding. Been here a few times each trip is amazing. The pata is indulgent. Crispy and fatty. Unctuous meat. Lechon is great too. Great opportunity to challenge the palate and try some new textures of the tendons and gristle. Not to be avoided, but as a contrast of flavor and texture. The tamarind veggie soup is a great counterpart to some of the fattier pork options. Longaniza is tasty. Bangus sizig was a great surprise. Had my first Halo-Halo there too. Loved it. For value, easily one of the best restaurants near SLO. read more

We were on our way to Morro Bay and needed to stop for gas and grab lunch since we hadn't eaten yet. Not knowing where to go, we Googled Filipino restaurants nearby and found Food Trip. It was a great decision! As soon as we walked in, we were warmly greeted by Relly. We asked for recommendations, and he suggested their best sellers: crispy pata and tortang talong. We ordered both, along with garlic fried rice and pork BBQ--and we were not disappointed! The crispy pata was perfectly crispy on the outside, while the meat inside was incredibly tender. The tortang talong and pork BBQ were equally delicious. To top it off, Relly treated us to a complimentary ube ice cream affogato, which was the perfect ending to our meal. Relly and Jeremy were so friendly and accommodating. We mentioned we were visiting the area, and Relly kindly recommended places to explore and where to find fresh seafood. Overall, our experience was fantastic, and we'll definitely come back next time we're in the area! read more

Lumpiang Shanghai: Unfortunately they were soggy and no longer crispy. (Note that we did get takeout but this shouldn't be too much of an effect because our lechon was nice and crispy.) The flavor was alright but I've had better lumpia anywhere else. Also curiously small in size. Lechon Kawali: Whenever we got a piece of the pork rind/skin it was nice and crispy. Unfortunately all we got in our order was pork skin. Only about 10% was any actual pork meat. We basically got chicharron. Pancit Bihon: This was the third best part of our order. There was a nice assortment of proteins, got some shrimp, chicken, and sausage. However it was a bit dry. Garlic Rice: Nice and flavorful, not too oily or salty. My favorite savoury item that I tried. Can't go wrong and it complements every main dish. Halo Halo: This was the best part of our order. The ube ice cream complimented the other ingredients. It was sweet (as it should be) but this was balanced by all the different textures. As far as service goes, we chose to do takeout so can't speak much on that. The wait was about half an hour which may have been longer than usual because a large birthday party was dining in when we arrived. We were assisted as promptly as the single worker taking orders could. The interior is very casual. One thing I'd keep in mind if dining in is that the place can get pretty smokey. Not sure how their ventilation system is but when I came back to pick up my order, the inside was looking a little hazy. Cost would deter me from coming back because our order was nearly $70 for what we got. The Halo Halo alone was $10. The quality of what we got did not justify the high price. It could have just been a bad day because they had a bigger party to tend to but it shouldn't affect the quality of food coming out even if it's just for first time take-out orders. read more

Supper authentic and friendly, was finally able to visit this restaurant with my family and will go back to try other dishes. I like the a la cart aspect to the menu that way we can try multiple proteins, very humble server and pretty fast service for only seeing one server and assuming one or two cooks read more

I haven't had Filipino food since 2000. I was so excited to try FoodTrip and they did not disappoint. Friendly service, outstanding food, generous portions. I had the Sisig Bangus and, if you'll pardon the pun, it was BANGIN'! Kinda like Filipino ceviche but not as citrusy. I'm definitely gonna be a regular at this place. So many good things on the menu to try! read more

The service and attention is what you'd expect in a Filipino restaurant. All smiles, kindness and hospitality to the max. The food was wonderful. I'm glad they had lunch specials because we wanted to try a little bit of everything. Unfortunately the pancit is ordered only as a big plate (it's huge!) for sharing so we missed out on one of my favorites. We will be back. read more

Who knew that you can find a rare Filipino restaurant in Santa Maria! We enjoyed our meals so much, we went twice. We're a big fan of grilled meats such as the chicken inasal and the lechon kawali. The pinakbet (veggies) was very authentic. I'm glad we found this location courtesy of Yelp. It was a 10 minute drive from our hotel. The host was very friendly. The food came out super fast, we didn't have to wait long. The prices were affordable as well. read more

FoodTrip - Lunch special Lechon kawali - Filipino Near Me - Santa Maria, California

Decided to get the family out to try something new for dinner on a Saturday night. It wasnt too busy when we came in, only one other table therr at the time. But it was definitely a lot more filled by the time we left. Service was friendly and quick. They were very helpful with any questions we had and gave great recommendations. We were a bigger party so we ordered a bunch of different things and shared. Unfortunately they had run out of the sizzling sisig! Everything we ordered was phenomenal but one of the fam faves was ghe crispy pork (lechon kawali?). Will definitely be bringing the family back. One small thing is it can get smokey in there. A better ventilation for the restaurant could help when it really starts getting busy. read more

I have to say, this was one of the best most enjoyable experiences I've had in Santa Maria since I've been here for the past Month. My boyfriend and I are in town for a year, originally from Los Angeles where Filipino food is easily accessible but this was our only option in town so we decided to stop by and give it a go. When we arrived we were greeted by the owner, Relly, who explained their menu in detail and assigned us a table. Through conversation, he and my boyfriend established they were both from the same general area in the Philippines which was nice. He shared a story as to how the restaurant concept came about and his family story which was nice! We enjoyed our conversation and feel we made a genuine connection. We decided to keep it simple and try their Longsilong, Pancit Bihon, and Lumpia. Everything tasted very fresh and full of flavor. Filipino food can often times be extra greasy and somewhat heavy but theirs felt much lighter. Emphasis on the freshness! Very happy with their food quality overall. Their portions were also very large which was nice. We had enough to take home and have as a late night snack! I also want to call out how crisp the cabbage was in the Pancit, you can tell it was very fresh! Relly was kind enough to deliver a complimentary Halo-Halo to our table as a welcome gift which I thought was very thoughtful and kind. We were actually shocked at how large and delicious it was! I cant give this spot enough praise! What Relly has done for himself and family by creating this incredibly delicious concept is amazing and from what I can see, our community appreciates it as well. We'll definitely be back to try some of their specialty and traditional menu items soon. Thanks Relly & Food Trip! read more

Delicious food, friendly mom's and pop's restaurant with authentic Filipino food! The place is not much to look at outside or inside, but you don't need much when the food is so good! It's our family's favorite Asian restaurant in the area whenever we get a craving (which happens often lol). We always do family style and order at least several dishes to share. The pansit portion is huge! I always have leftover to look forward to the very next day (or that night :D). You know the place is authentic when every Filipinos you know tell you this is where they go if they want Filipino food outside of their home. With not many Asian food options in the area, this place has definitely exceeded my expectation! read more

I was Craving BBQ and decided to try this new place out. I did take out but the space looked clean and spacious. Not sure if it was the owner or a worker but, smile at the time of pick up, turned into a dissatisfied face when i didn't leave a tip. This is about the only negative I can say about this new restaurant but tipping on takeout is another talk for another time. I don't recall what the noodles name was but they had shrimp and veggies. Originally i thought the price was high but then I got the food and it's probably 4 portions. You get a family size takeout container and it is cooked very well and tastes delicious. The pork skewers were surprising because of how they're made on the stick. I was expecting kebabs but it's more of a schwarma style stacking on these. The pricing, again, made sense because there is a ton of meat on each stick, it's just packed down. The sauce on the meat was great and so was the citrus sauce on the side. Overall I would recommend this restaurant. Good pricing for great food and I will definitely be coming back to try other dishes. read more

Pismo Beach is our escape from a busy city like LA. This summer , we found ourselves having a hard time finding parking by the beach, so we decided to explore different areas and food close by in Santa Maria. To our surprise, there is a filipino restaurant in the area and got a really good review. So, we gave it a try. The owner, Relley, is very kind and friendly. Great first impression. We ordered the noodle, grilled pork, and pork sisik with white rice. The food was delicious . What I like is their food were not too salty nor greasy. The portion is good as well.

This restaurant is a wonderful find. It was recommend by a friend so we went for dinner. The bulao was so flavorful and the broth was very rich. The pancit was absolutely delicious. The portions are huge! We were stuffed and had a large portion left of each dish. The owner is so friendly and told us the story behind the name. We were just about to leave when the owner brings us this goblet with a scoop of purple on top. He said it was Halo-Halo and then explained about this dessert and how to eat it. It was one of the most amazing things we have ever eaten! Oh and it was complimentary to welcome us in for the first time. He won our hearts and stomachs! We will be back. read more

How awesome to find an authentic Filipino restaurant! Apparently there are 2 in Santa Maria, we stopped by Food Trip because it was open. I was so excited to eat some good Filipino food. I miss my best friends mom's chicken adobo, so I ordered that. Along with some lumpia and my friend ordered some pork belly. I forgot what it was called. Everything was DELICIOUS. The restaurant is located in a little strip mall with other businesses, it is kind of hard to find when you're driving. I missed it the first time. The place is small but clean, and everyone there was very friendly! They answered any questions we had, and they were very attentive. Food was a little pricey but I don't mind spending a little extra on some good food. I'll definitely come back again! read more
