On a recent lunch visit I tried the Pork Adobo Fried Rice Omelette, Sari Sari and Mongo Beans. I've eaten the Pork Adobo Frice Rice Omelette and Sari Sari, from their restaurant in Waipahu, many times before. This was the first time I sampled them from the lunchwagon. Both dishes were as good as I remembered. The highlight of the dishes was the Mongo (aka Mung) Beans. It reminded me of a filipino style pork and beans, having the consistency of a thick pea soup. I think the pork made the dish, combined with the mongo beans it was delicious. This is definitively a dish that I would order again. Overall 3.5 stars.

I had Elena's for the first time at the Eat the Street event. I was on a mission: to try Elena's…read morepork adobo omelet. With all of the craziness of the event, this truck had one of the shortest lines and at first I thought it was because the food wasn't as good as their competitors...boy was I wrong! The line was so short because Elena's used their noggin before coming to the event! They had laminated menus with pictures and prices of all their offerings which they passed down the line, so by the time you got to the front you were ready to order and (in theory) had your money ready. To quote one of the girls standing behind me, "To wait two hours for a grilled cheese sandwich is bleepin' nuts! But guisantes, maybe!" Luckily the wait was only 10 minutes and I scampered back to my friends with the glorious omelet and an order of lumpia ($10). All of the food was extremely hot and fresh and the omelet was amazing! It was giant (I could only eat half) and the adobo was very flavorful and not fatty at all. The only thing I would change about it is a thinner omelet. The lumpia was good too, but it wasn't anything special, just plain lumpia. For me, this was the best thing about the Eat the Street event!!

The smell of the chicken papaya soup was enticing me to drive swiftly home. The pancit is made so prettily with large shrimp and tastes perhaps the best I've ever had. I squeezed some included calamansi juice on it before digging in. The pork lumpia is long not Shanghai style. Somehow the vinegar given adds a little sweet kick to me. Located inside Highlands Market on the right hand side by the restrooms above Sam's Club. There is a sign they are renovating their adjoining two spaces. The wait was extremely long but worth it. Many people were waiting for their orders and they were all of that ethnic origin so you know it's good.

OMG. WOW- The reviews are true, so GOOD! My first attempt…read moreto try The Savellano's Lechon was when they were at an event in Waikiki, few months ago but the lines were so long, I couldn't wait and they are normally at Ewa Beach for the night market during the weekdays which I can't make but happen to be at Ka Makana Ali'i, & they were here, pop up, no lines so it was my perfect opportunity to finally try. I got Combo B which comes with lechon, rice & pancit along with 2 lumpia which was a nice surprise, - I didn't expect to have lumpia too. This plate $22. , also comes with 2 sauce - vinegar and lechon sauce. We snacked on this while waiting for our table at CPK and I would pick choose The Savellano's Lechon instead. I wanted to cancel CPK and go back for more! We = my hubby, my sis & I sampled the combo plate and we all agreed this was legit good! I wish there's more lechon skin as wow, so crispy, the pancit was perfectly cooked ( not soggy!) the lechon meat was tender ( I hate hard to chew meats) and the lumpia- yums! Loved both sauce, loved that there's calamansi for the pancit. Definitely "Sarap" - We sure enjoyed this plate/snack, following The Savellano's Lechon so I can see where they are popping up next for my for lechon, pancit & lumpia fix! Filipino kine Comfort food, YES!!

I saw them on Instagram and went to the Pearlridge Village Night Market specifically to try them…read more The night market started at 5 PM, but some vendors were already open before then, including this one, so I didn't have to wait long. I ordered the lechon and garlic shrimp combo plate. The lechon was really good and well-seasoned, with none of that strong porky smell or taste that pork can sometimes have. It honestly didn't even need sauce, but I still enjoyed it with the lechon sauce. The skin was nice and crispy, and overall this was some of the best lechon I've had. The garlic shrimp was good too, and I liked that the plate came with two small lumpias. The portion size was generous, and I thought it was well worth the $25. Everything on the plate was flavorful, and I'd definitely order it again.

It was $20 for my plate and I was full and very satisfied.

I have been looking forward to trying this truck and finally spotted it at Waikele for a food truck…read moreevent. I knew I had to try it - all the photos I've seen on IG looked too good. Maybe I hyped myself up too much, but I ended up not liking it as much as I thought I would. We tried the sampler but because I'm not a fan of wasabi, I stuck to the original and the cheese one. The flavor is more on the subtle side compared to how it looks. I wish the sauce had a stronger flavor to it. The cheese also didn't add to much flavor either, so it tasted pretty close to the original. There's also a decent amount of rice, so it at least somewhat fills you up. So keep that in mind if you're trying to have a lot of different dishes at a food truck event!

They also sell spicy noodles which looked really good. But after a long day walking at Aloha Stadium; we were already hot and tired. The wraps came out pretty fast. They are made fresh and it was HOT. The pork belly is thin but has a lot of flavor. The rice was like sticky rice. Not too hard and not too mushy. The size is like a regular sized spam musubi. The cheese baby wrap was pretty good. It went well with the pork belly. The added siracha sauce was a plus. Their pork belly wraps are pretty good and I would recommend giving it a try especially if you love pork belly!

When I tasted it, it just did not taste as good as I remember. It lacked the flavor and depth of flavor I remembered. I was disappointed. The rice had this after taste I could not figure out. I was bummed not only with the flavors but the wait even though I pre ordered.

The food is just as delicious as ever - crispy, flavorful, and now they offer it topped with a fried egg and chili oil on the side... he was in heaven! We also spotted fresh lumpia in the warmer last time, so we'll definitely be back to try that next. If you're a sisig fan (or looking to become one), I highly recommend Sw8 Dada's Sisig! They are #1 in our book.

It is an order-at-the-food-counter experience. I got the pork sisig and lechon kawaii combo. The…read moreplace was nice/decent, clean, and looked new. The service was sufficient (low contact - could be off-putting to some.) The food was cooked on the spot, at least, the fried part was. My thing is, I've had different preparations of both the lechon and sisig before. I have to say that the ones I got from home-cooked versions versus commercial versions are different (at least for me it has.) It seems as if the sisig and lechon were initially boiled to cook it thoroughly, then they fry it before they serve it to you to get that crispy feel from the skin. The thing is, the jello-like/slightly slimy texture of the fat leads one to believe that it was boiled first or at least not fried thoroughly. There's nothing wrong with boiling as long as the skin and fat come through as crispy. The skin was crispy, but the fat wasn't. Perhaps, they just need to fry it a little more. Other than that, if it was crispy throughout, I would've given it 5 stars. I'm looking forward to trying the other things on the menu like the beef pares.
