Our server told us last order was at 6:45 since the cook had to leave early for another gig. They used to close later at night years ago. We had our usual chick-boy combo sisig, grilled liempo, tapa and garlic rice. Our friends embellished our spread with ginataang sitaw at calabasa (beans & squash in coconut milk), bam-i pancit, chicharon bulaklak (ruffle fat) and lechon kawali. Vinegar based sawsawan and Mang Tomas made this feast even better. We all had water because we were binge eating that weekend. Another large party satisfied at Chibogs. Can't wait for our next get-together here.

Phone orders are also welcomed too. The restaurant is always packed when I go in to get my food. The dining room is pretty small, but can probably fit 30 or so diners at a time.

I happened to be in Daly City recently and made a stop here to pick up some skewers. Found street parking around the corner. Fil-Am is a take-away restaurant with a menu consisting of BBQ chicken and BBQ pork skewers, panic, shanghai lumpias and turons. I wanted to get BBQ pork skewers and got to the last three that were in the tray. They were also out of the chicken skewers. But the chef was busy cooking as the grill was loaded with pork and chicken skewers. Not wanting to wait, I was happy that I got the three skewers. Many good-sized pieces of juicy pork make up each skewer. Generous portions. I enjoy the Filipino BBQ pork flavor as the sauce on it has a sweet taste to it. At $4.25 a skewer, it is reasonably priced. Will stop by again for these delicious pork skewers again when I'm in the area.

Once we got a spot, while walking up to the restaurant you can smell the BBQ aromas from around the corner so we were getting excited just walking to the restaurant! Ordered Fil-Am special 2 BBQ skewer items with Pancit (noodles). Skewer options are BBQ Chicken or BBQ pork. We got one of each. They also have a ton of other Filipino specialties on the menu but looks like they are for larger party tray orders. Lumpia, Menudo, Adobo, Kare Kare etc. There's also a couple dessert items Turon, Bibingka, Biko, ube, maja blanca and Cassava to name a few. Took dinner home and chowed down. The BBQ pork was fantastic, tender with great BBQ flavor. The chicken was a bit charred and dry (took off one star) but was tasty. BBQ sauce was sweet and savory. The pancit was delish! overall a great cost effective meal and worth trying

It was also nice to have a singer performing, but I wish they took more breaks so our party could have better conversations, given that it was pretty loud.

The crust had this perfect crisp, crunchy texture, and the vinegar dipping sauce really drove it home. The empanadas are generously sized, so definitely worth the price, but one is plenty for a single sitting since they're on the richer, oilier side. A couple heads up. The spot is tucked inside a gas station and they do sell out fast since batches are limited. I'd recommend calling ahead or checking online before making the trip to make sure they're open because I've noticed their hours vary. That being said, when you catch them open, it's worth it. Now I get why these went viral. I'll definitely be back for more.

The food didn't quite live up to the hype for me. The silogs were okay. I was expecting more from the sizzling steak, but it didn't really stand out. It lacked flavor, and the pork in the tokwa't baboy was mostly fatty pieces. The taho was not as good as I expected. The service was okay--the staff were busy but polite. Overall, it was an average experience. I'm glad I tried it once, but I'm not sure I'd go out of my way to come back. The Señorita bread was the highlight for me. It was soft and had just the right amount of sweetness. I definitely recommend trying it.
