First time at Manila Mart after having heard about it so many times and let's just say I'm…read morepleasantly surprised! I will say prepare a budget cause there's a lot to get, I ended up spending around $40 for everything I got. Let's start with the beef lumpia. It was crispy and tasted pretty good. I'm a sucker for spice so I would've loved it to be a little spicier or maybe offer some chili oil on the side. Next is the star of the show, the lechon kawaii bowl. The pork is so tender and perfectly crispy! I added garlic rice instead of the usual which was a great addition. I asked to try their vinegar sauce which comes with garlic and jalapeño in it which I found to be amazing. Lastly, the taro milk tea is heavenly, I'm still thinking about it!!! The service was friendly and because it was my first time they even offered me a coupon for the next time I come back and I will definitely be back! Plenty of indoor seating as well with a whole market inside where you can find an assortment of Filipino food, snacks, drinks, and desserts.

I will say that it was spicy. I found it hard to eat the whole bowl all at once. Note that it's also a grocery store but there are tables for you to dine in if you wanted to. Overall, I will be back :)

Just faaaaannnnnttttasssiiiicccc. I'm big on bread and it was so soft. It was served on a toasted roll along with big pieces of pork with a skin that was so crispy and crackling to complement the juicy meat. The portions were huge, which surprised me. Everything is such small portions these days but it was worth the cost. You have a choice between fries and chips. The chips were not home made so I opted for the fries. They also gave me a side of sauce, which almost tasted like Big Mac sauce? The arugula also adds on to the taste. My biggest regret was not getting two! A tip is you can call ahead and place your order. If you're in a rush, just call ahead. It looked like a nice sit down establishment as well.

Pretty casual spot with friendly and sociable staff! I enjoyed all the dishes we got. Loved their lumpia Shanghai as always. I liked the amount of flavour and salt their sisig had. Their take on halo halo was quite nice too, and not too icy like others I've had, although the flan was a little too sweet to my liking. After we paid, they gave us a free cup of Buko Pandan to share, which was extremely nice and great! Overall, had a great time here; great hospitality and great food for such decent prices! Would come back again if I was in the area.

And straight ahead is the person who takes orders, fills them, and finally cashes them out. Overhead is a listing of what the have in detail. Truthfully, being a new comer to Phillipine fòod, i was at a disadvantage. They alslo had a hot food display of about 10 or so dishes readily available. From reading reviews, the garlic rice and deep fried pork belly were favorites. Just plain delicious. Many of the other dishes were pork, chickèn, oŕ vegetables. Later we learned the pancet was in the back. My goofy order condisted of garlic rice (2 scoops) and a small order of deep fried pork belly. I was curious of what everything was by using the point and tell method. Somehow I endéd up with a chicken dish with more rice, that really jacked up the bill. All the dishes were labeled and the server was very helpful in telling what they were to the extent of pork or chicken.It became more confusing when the cashier came over to help. Sèrvings were generous. I have to give them credit, the restaurant, and store, were very clean.

The sauce tasted slightly tangy and garlicky, going great with the crispy and juicy lechon. The dinuguan was also good, with a hint of a vinegar taste, just how I like it. The turon also had some langka (jackfruit) in it which is my absolute favvvv. Mama Rosa is also a convenient place to get snacks!! This isn't just a place to eat, but you can shop as well. Their shop is a bit small, but it has a good selection of nostalgic snacks (at least for me) like shrimp chips, boy bawang, polvoron, etc. they also sell bakery stuff like pandesal, leche flan, bibingka, etc. The store is not pet friendly, but service dogs are allowed. There IS outside seating with shade, so I'm guessing you can bring your dog there. The staff was friendly and answered questions well! We would gladly come back again to grab something that we're too lazy to make at home like lechon.
