Nita's was pretty busy on this Saturday morning, they had lots of people waiting to pick up platters. The restaurant was clean & had tons of parking out front. The staff was super helpful with identifying the different food options. The prices are a little steep, but they do give you more food/meat than what I've experienced at other Filipino restaurants. My lola was actually impressed with the amount of meat & veggies in the sinigang, and was so curious of where I picked up lunch! The food was good (not the best, but not the worst). Some of the meats were a little tough, and there's just something missing (maybe, salt?) Nita's does take all forms of payment, but be prepared to pay a 3% fee if you're paying with anything other than cash. read more

Nita's DINAKDAKAN.... Balanced creamy and tangy sauce, lots of onions and chili, and the grilled pork parts were tender and smoky....Still the best for me. read more

If you are in Carson in search of Filipino food that just hit the spot, Nita's is just the place to go. The restaurant is usually very crowded during some visits. But I will say that the ambience feels like an authentic filipino restaurant experiance with all the small decor that just screams filipino and it makes you feel at home. My favorite thing to order is usually the barbecue skewers, because I love the strong smoky flavor fresh off the grill. So if you are looking forward to trying filipino cuisine, Nita's would be a really good spot. Also, me and my family often like to buy here a lot so it is one of our top places to visit for food. read more

Parking lot gets full easily. The food was alright. They didn't have pork bbq when we came. The dinakdakan was good as well as the squid dish and the Sisig. The lady at the cash register tried to charge us for two chicharron ($12) when I got 1 chicharron ($6) and 1 balut which costs $4. I caught that and spoke up. She didn't give us the right amount of change either read more

To the older Filipina woman working the cashier, you have no etiquette or class running a business. I did not get a "Hello, how are you?" or even "Your total is..." No eye contact and felt hostile. Just snatched my cash when I paid. I was very polite so I don't understand this attitude behavior. The food is medicore, nothing special at all. I will never set foot in a food establishment that doesn't respect their customers. I hope you lose customers and close down. read more

Last time i went there was 2018. And it wasn't a good experience back then. Yesterday, i missed a turn to go to Tita Celia's so i ended up at Nita's. Thought to myself, uhmmm okay, everyone deserves a second chance! My God! It's even worse experience on top of a truly expensive prices, the quality of food is subpar and the quantity is super small. Go someplace else! Tita Celia's or Pinoy Republic! read more

Paying with card. They charge you extra. You need a plate, you pay for that. Food quality. So so. Wth! read more

I've been ordering from this place for years, from 2-3 small trays to full catering, and they never disappoint. The food is always prepared cleanly, tastes amazing, and the prices are very reasonable. Highly recommend! read more

Drive all the way from OC for my favorite hometown Filipino spot. Their bbq always hits. I remember when they were cash only but everyone takes tap now! read more

The lady with the bangs running the cash register was very rude. I asked for things nicely even nicely interacted with her. I don't suggest this place the food is okay but the service is horrible. Mabait lang yung nasa cash register sa mga ibang tao pero kahit tagalogin mo pa grabeng inis. Nanghingi ako ng napkin dahil natapon ng 2 years old ko yung tubig. Imbis na maayos pag bigay sakin ng napkin talagang galit na galit siya? Kung gusto niyo ng magandang service sa iba nalang kayo kumain. Nakakawalang gana ugali. read more

A+ all the way! The food is clean, fresh, and tastes just like authentic home cooking. Perfect choice if you want delicious, daily home-cooked meals without the hassle. read more

Food is good but extremely bad customer service to think they're only serving 2 person at the time including myself.

Being half Filipino, I'm always looking for new Filipino restaurants. The food was decent, still haven't found Filipino food that compares to my mom's or auntie's cooking. Service was whatever. read more

My favorite dish in this place, Pork bbq and igado! They have variety of filipino dishes. Reasonable price. Servers are fast and friendly. read more

Service is bad. Staff in the front cashier is even worse with no manners. Messed up our order. I don't recommend it.

We dined in on 5/6/23. There was only one person serving so the line was slow. We would have given this place easy 5 stars bc the food was excellent! Everything tasted authentic and full of flavors. We ordered: kare kare, menudo, afritada, pancit, pork bbq sticks, sisig. Kare kare's meat was super tender. They did not have oxtail but the meat they used is pretty good. I don't usually eat tripe but one snucked in and I tried it and it actually wasn't bad. It was clean tasting. Our bill was almost $80 and we asked for plates and we were charged $.25 cents for each! What? You can't even give your customers plates for free? It's not like they were reusable, they were styrofoam! Seriously?! That bug the heck out of me, service was not 5 stars! The place is ok. They have tables available for those eating in. Just beware that if you ask for plates, you will be charged $.25 each styrofoam throw away kind! The gentleman who was serving was nice and patient. The cashier lady isn't as friendly. The food is really good though so yes, we will be back but next time we'll order a combo so we can have a plate and rice already. Rice is $1 per small scoop. Prices are not the cheapest but the tasty food is worth it. read more

Best sesig ever. Everyone here loves their sesig. That's their specialty. I've had great sesig before, but theirs is truly exceptional.

The BBQ is WOW! and their sisig i# like it's made from their BBQ. The staff is very very helpful will definitely come back here....

the food is good, variety of filipino entrees to choose from, staff is friendly, chill vibes, plaza parking, prices are reasonable.

The best pork barbecues! Don't forget to get the suka! They also accept credit cards now but with a very minimal fee. Place looks and feels clean. read more

Not impressed. Had the 2 item order. Chicken and the other was just green beans. 1 dessert and they charged me an outlandish $20. 2 stars because the dessert was good. read more

Food is super yummy Pork bbq skewers are so yummy. One of co worker gave me and I'm going to get more soon! read more

Food is good but the customer service towards me was terrible. I don't know if it's because I'm a man of color but the service provided to me was terrible. The restaurant was empty at the time of my arrival, the lady behind the counter continued what she was doing and did not acknowledging me what's so ever for a few minutes. That I can get over, it was when she finally addressed me with a stern and rude "WHAT?" I should have just walked out of the restaurant right then and there read more

Food is great.. staffing great.. about the price everything anywhere it's going up. So people don't complain or eat at home..

This restaurant used to have a fair price and quality food. NOT ANYMORE! The quality of service and food deteriorated. Also, price keeps changing every time after few days. This restaurant only accepts CASH. But prepare to pay tax and RECEIPT is not given. Think about that. Charging the customers more including tax and no proof of purchase. If you ask for a receipt, it only has the price breakdown without any details. Wonder how they declare sales to Uncle Sam. Lol Lower your price since you only accepts cash! read more

Best Filipino food in the Carson area. Love their sisig, beef or pork. Love their pork bbq and pork isaw. It's nice enough inside that you can bring non-Filipino guests. read more

I come here for the sisig! One of the OG Filipino restaurants established in Carson. Must try. Great menu selection. I believe they circulate their menu options depending on the day. It's best to call and ask if they have what you're craving that day. Plaza parking. The price is right. Cafeteria style. Indoor seating only. read more

sarcastic & rude staff. poor customer service. if you ask them of their business hours- they get mad. might as well close if you get upset when customers call & ask on what time will your restaurant open or close! read more

Poor cashier customer service. I bought two combos with pork bbq & chopsuey and pigs ears and chicken adobo, I was asking for two small container of vinegar for each combo, the cashier gave me only one and cashier said I get only one. He said that if I want more, I have to buy the bottle of vinegar that they are selling. Also he gave me a small amount of food. Overrated filipino food and very expensive! Not like before customer service was good. read more

I know prices went up especially food ingredients but come on just decide what price to charge people and not charge extra dollars for every meat dish selection. The base price is like 14 dollars but for every meat dish you pay extra 1 dollar. Why not just charge 16 dollars and do away with extras. On top of this food quality is sub par. The taste of the dishes are nothing g to be desired. It is no longer a go to place if you crave Filipino food. It's one and done for me. read more

If you're looking for an authentic delicious Filipino fast food, this is the best so far! Gave them 4 stars only because my mom's cooking still the excellent one. But their pork bbq is die for. read more

Cashier Macmac not showing a good customer service relation. The rest of the team were helpful and friendly. It was a sad experience starting our day with the negative energy around us. Nothing against him though but I just hope he'll learn to communicate next time. read more

The best Filipino food in Carson. Every craving is always satisfied and the staff is super friendly and sweet. They're happy to give "sabaw" (delicious broth) if you politely ask for it. Their sisig is a favorite and it's a dish we always order upon every visit. We keep coming back for more! read more

Sisig, Caldareta, Rice, Dessert and Royal Orange Soda for 7 bucks! From my understanding, Sisig is a few different meats originating from the pig's head. This, along with Crispy Pata, are two of my top five dishes. Years ago, a friend of mine from Papanga told me that Sisig was Kapampangan and meant eating sour snacks. That is pretty much my history lesson for the day and I am not sure how true it is. What is true is that this place offers up some decent food for a cheap price during lunch. It is relatively clean and they only accept cash. It was not the best Filipino food I have had, and believe me I have had plenty, but it was AOK. There was a coconut based dessert that was seriously good. Five stars. I wish I knew the name. Customer service was great. Parking was easy. Overall, AOK. read more

Nita's Restaurant - Filipino Near Me - Carson, California

See all

Ahh I think Nita's is one of my favorite Filipino turo-turo places. What: turo-turo you ask? Well the literally the English translantion is "point-point. I believe this is because customers go into the restaurant and point out which dishes they want . My two favorite dishes that I "point" at here are their bbq sticks and their beef pepper steak. They sell their bbq sticks for a $1.50 each and they are some of the best in town. Unlike other bbq sticks, the bbq pork is very lean and not fatty. The beef pepper steak is another great dish. It has bell peppers and sweet beef mixed together. They offer some other goodies such as pancit (Filipino noodles), sweet Filipino spaghetti (the sweet kind with Filipino ketchup) and good old Filipino fried chicken. This used to be a small place but as it became more popular with the customers, they expanded their restaurant. They have a more spacious place now and plenty of tables for folks. There seems to be always a line when I come here. That alone should be testimony to how popular and good this place is. I came to pick up some food for Christmas and the line was almost out the door. If you want to try good Filipino food with decent prices and great portions, you should check Nita's out :). read more

This is your regular Filipino turo turo restaurant. The place is clean and their food is freshly cooked and taste good. Our family specially love their sisig, pork, barbecue, igadu and kare-kare.

I love the food here. Hands down the best in Carson. Problem is the service is horrible. I've been coming here every so often since they opened. My visit today was the last straw. Service was so bad I'm just gonna drive to Cerritos for my Filipino fix even though I live in Carson. read more
