    My wife and I have had Senor Sisigs burritos off one of their food trucks over the years but we were in the mission on a rainy Friday afternoon and we had a hankering for one of their burritos. We ended up with their classic pork burrito and one with the sweet pork and a fried egg and both were delicious as usual. Two burritos plus a tip ran us over $40 so let's hear it for rising food costs and inflation plus they didn't seem as packed with the sweet pork that we have had in past but it was still tasty. Not sure over $20 for a burrito is something I'll stop in for often esp without any chips or anything accompanying them but a nice option compared to the usual Mexican fare in the mission. Plus the sauces they give us are nice and spicy.

    We were in the neighborhood seeking something quick and filling, fortunately this spot was close by. We ordered as soon as we walked in on the self service kiosk. They had a ton of options, but I landed on chicken sisig crunch a dilla. It was a savory and crispy quesadilla resembling an elevated Taco Bell crunch wrap. It came with a spicy nacho cheese and green salsa on the side. The price was steep, but worth the serving portion and flavor. Once we ordered we waited about 15 minutes for our food to be ready. They standing indoor seating, but a ton of outdoor seating. Definitely want to come back and try their tacos or sinigang wings next!

    Fantastic Filipino-style burritos with plenty of flavor and deliciousness. Ingredients are freshly prepared. Each burrito is big and plenty filling. Service is fast and efficient.

    Nice location, outdoor seating in from on street and in the back...and friendly staff. Tried Tasilog burrito, Ube churros and pandan tea. Pandan tea had good flavor but very sweet. Burrito was good, some fatty pieces of pork, but now crazy fatty. Ube churros were kinda hard and drenched in cinnamon sugar and then coated with a sweet Ube sauce. Tasty but again, very sweet.

    Panoramic of the backyard patio.  Sweet!

    I had the Mission Burrito and it was tasty enough, but I wouldn't say it had much of a Filipino tinge to it. It wasn't particularly huge either, and I feel like $25 all in for a burrito ($19 + tax + health surcharge + tip) is much more expensive than equivalent fare in the Mission. The backyard patio is pretty sweet though (see photo). I think hanging out there with friends would be the main reason I'd go back. Server was friendly and deserved his tip.

    Horrendous, just horrendous. Even if other people want to blow smoke up Señor Sisig's ass because they don't have standards, I won't. What a disappointing fall from grace ever since the days of being a food truck that visited SFSU. Look, I get that things won't be the same price as they were ten years ago but if you're gonna charge your burritos like two or three times the price of what they were back then, I think the bare minimum I should get back is two or three times the quality. These burritos are tiny as all hell for more than $16 each. Most egregiously, there's more TOMATOES than protein. So not only are you ripping me off, you're actively stiffing me on top of it. Don't insult my intelligence. I always had a sneaking bad feeling when I heard Señor Sisig opened actual physical storefronts. I always suspected they would take a dip in quality because that's how it always happens when a business becomes booming. On a personal level, good for them. It was well deserved after how much I loved them in college. However, in execution it sucks on every imaginable level. I took my nephew from the Philippines here because he thought this was such a fascinating concept and I thought it would impress him. Bang up job, you failed. I never thought I'd say this but Los Kuyas is better than Señor Sisig now and I don't even like Los Kuyas. That's almost impressive except it's not a badge of honor.

    While we were in the city for an SF weekend to visit Dolores Park with the kiddo chasing the Bay Area sunshine, we stopped by the Señor Sisig location off Valencia to grab a few things to-go before heading over. We ordered a plain cheese quesadilla for the kiddo and my personal favorite, the Sisig Crunch-a-dilla. It's basically an adult, elevated Crunchwrap. Simply perfection. The wrap is served with a side of their spicy nacho cheese sauce and one free salsa (tomatillo or habanero). To be honest, I could pour that cheese sauce over anything :)) This location has a kiosk to order from or the counter with a person, and a small back seating area. This location also has beer/wine, other kiddo options, vegan options, bowls, salads, and their traditional taco & burritos. Would love to try the California Sisig Burrito or Tosilog Burrito (Filipino sweet pork served with adobo garlic rice, sliced tomatoes & a fried egg). The Tosilog also comes with a side of vinegar. I'm getting hungry just thinking about it! Parking may be a bit challenging, but we parked in a garage close by while we enjoyed walking and exploring the Mission's best.

    Tosilog Burrito
    Kristen B.

    Tried Senior Sisig on Mission and overall had a good experience with a few standout items. The mangonada drink was really good, and the calamansi ginger lemonade was super flavorful and refreshing. We also loved the sinigang wings--perfectly crispy with an excellent sauce on the side that really made the dish. The one item that fell short for us was the tocino tocilog burrito. Unfortunately, it was a little disappointing--there were large pieces of tomato that overpowered the burrito, and there wasn't much egg (barely half of one). Because of that, it was just okay for us. Still, there were enough great flavors that we'd come back and try other items on the menu. Ambiance was nice, spacious.

    Traveled 30 minutes to get 3 of the Tosilog burritos. I asked for 1 w/out tomatoes, all mild, and a side of their mild salsa. Just got home to find that they all have tomatoes, and one is "Hella Hella + Spicy". I cut all three in half, hoping they just put the wrong ticket in my bag, but it wasn't the case. I tried calling and they don't answer the phones, even during business hours like they say. I'd kinda understand if they were busy, but I was actually the only one there. I also noticed both, the person who took my order along with some other guy (cook?), just standing next to each other and looking at their phones instead of making sure my order was made correctly. Now, I've gotta call my credit card company to dispute the $70 charge and then find food for me and the kids elsewhere. P.S. - the portions are "HELLA HELLA" smaller than they used to be. Definitely not going back for their food.

    I've seen this restaurant recently on DoorDash and today when I was down in the mission, I walked by it. I was having dinner later, so I just got a snack. I really liked that they took the time to explain the menu to me and all the different options, including a lot of vegan ones I only ordered a snack of a child's bowl with the pork on it. It came with rice and a lime. I also had the ginger lemonade which was out of this world really really good. We will definitely be door dashing this place. Highly recommend very tasty.

    Came on a Sunday for lunch right and managed to get seats in the back area before it got super busy. I ordered the ube horchata and tosilog burrito. I was really excited to try it since there's a lack of Filipino food in my city, and I was not disappointed. The flavors were fresh and definitely hit the spot. As for the space, you order at the counter up front and you can grab a seat in the covered patio in the back. There's a good amount of seating but I definitely wouldn't recommend it for groups of more than four people. We watched two large groups attempt to wrangle seats for everyone and it was a nightmare just to witness. I would definitely recommend Senor Sisig for a quick bite if you're in the area!

    VEGANO Señor Sisig Burrito & Pandan ice tea
    Sabrina M.

    This place is so good! It screams Filipino, Mexican, and Bay Area pride. The food is so tasty and is truly the best of all the cultures. I also love that they have a whole vegan menu not just one vegan option. This location has a self order kiosk and a traditional cashier and then a lot of outdoor seating in the back with really cool art murals. It's a go to spot whenever I'm in the area.

    Crispy Sinigang Wings
    Cat F.

    First timer here and I finally made it to Señor Sisig! Visited on a Saturday around 6 PM and there was already a line out the door. They have a long, tall outdoor table that seats about 10 people if you want to hang out and eat right there. Parking was a bit of a headache but I got lucky and found a spot around the corner. Definitely buffer some extra time to park. The area has a nice vibe with plenty of nearby shops to wander through if you're waiting. Here's what I ordered: Senior Sisig Bowl + Tocino ($16.54) - 7/10 - Tasty overall but the tocino (sweet pork) leaned a little too sweet for me. Sisig Taco + Pork ($6.83) - 7/10 - Packed with flavor and fillings. Served on two tortillas. It's definitely on the pricier side for a single taco but worth trying at least once. Sisig Salad ($15.23) - 5/10 - Pretty plain for my taste. I'd skip this one unless you're here for a lighter or healthier option. Crispy Sinigang Wings ($25.67) - 7/10 - Crispy, flavorful and the tamarind sauce was absolutely delicious! It cuts through the richness of the fried chicken and tied everything together. Sisig Crunch A Dilla ($18.38) - 10/10 - Must order! All the best of Señor Sisig wrapped up in one quesadilla. Overall, delicious spot with a fun atmosphere. I'll definitely be back!

    It's basically fast food level quality -- but with all the glory of Filipino flavoring. Good prices. Convenient location.

No utensils, just straight-up digging in, and it was such a vibe. We arrived early for our reservation and the servers brought out shrimp chips for us to nom on while we waited for the main event. The spread was insane: heaps of garlic rice, crispy lumpia, grilled meats, fresh seafood, tropical fruits, and a ton of veggie dishes that were super fresh, bold, and succulent, like a family party exploded on the table in the best way. We were laughing the whole time, getting messy, and connecting over the food. Perfect for groups (you need at least 4 and gotta reserve ahead). If you're in SoMa and want something festive and unforgettable in SF's Filipino food scene, hit up Mestiza for kamayan. Totally worth it, coming back soon!

    I came here on a Tuesday evening with my two sisters, a party of three; we made a reservation for…read more8:15 pm through Resy which was easy. We were quite excited to try this place, but there was nothing redeeming about this place, and I would not recommend coming here. Food: 1.5/5 We shared a small Pamilya meal, which comes with 1 appetizer, 1 salad, 2 mains, and 2 sides. This is a good amount of food and good bang for buck to try many items on the many, but unfortunately most items were bare-minimum decent at best. Lechon bites (1 appetizer): 3.5/5 This dish came with a sour-ish sauce. This was a pretty standard dish with nothing special about this dish, and I'd be more impressed if they messed up pork belly. Sweet heat (1 salad): 2.5/5 Nothing special about this dish. Looking back at the menu, which lists the ingredients, I see that this dish was missing mangos and Asian vinagarette. It was just a dry salad with a bunch of veggies and lacked flavor. Pork adobo (Main #1): 1.5/5 90% of the pork pieces were overwhelmingly dry and 10% were tender and moist. The flavor was okay, but just thinking about the dry pieces makes me want to reach for a glass of water. Bistek silog steak: 1/5 Again the flavor was okay and texture was terrible. It was unexpected that the steak was sour, but the texture was so chewy it was unbearably uncomfortable to eat. They pre-cut the steak for you which is nice, but I tried biting into a piece, and it took me 4 minutes to chew on just that one piece, and I had to use my fingers to pull the food out of my mouth to slowly chew on that one piece multiple times. This was nearly impossible to eat without cutting with a knife which they didn't provide, more on that in the service section of my review. Pancit canton (Side #1): 3.5/5 I actually liked the flavor of this. It was quite sour but in a good way. I've never had pancit with egg noodles but upon looking it up I guess there are multiple variations of pancit; I've only ever had pancit bihon which uses the extremely thin vermicelli noodles. Mongoo stew (Side #2): 3.75/5 I think this was the best dish of the night. It had earthy flavors and a light comforting flavor/taste. Service: 1/5 So my party and I were ready to order pretty quickly. What was odd was that I had to look at my server multiple times before she finally gave our table attention. It almost seemed like she was avoiding our table. Moreover, when we started to order, our server mentioned that she was eavesdropping on us stating that she thought we needed more time because it seemed like we wanted to order more. That was so strange to my sisters and me. We ordered a steak that was excessively chewy (I've never had steak this chewy before, think of a word opposite to tender or melts in your mouth - this would describe this experience), yet no knife was provided. We also ordered the Mongoo stew, and no bowls were provided (only plates). We also noticed that the two other tables being served had watched pitchers / big glass bottles of water that they could readily pour into our cups whereas we were not given a pitcher or big glass bottle of water. Thought that was odd as well. There was a clear lack of attention and felt like we were getting the cold shoulder. I had to walk to the front and ask for all these things because the staff never checked in on how we were doing. I'm not sure what my party and I did wrong, but it felt like the staff had an unspoken animosity toward my party and me the entire time, was not a pleasant dining experience. They close at 9 and we had an 8:15 pm reservation but still left around the same time as the other groups - not sure if we came closer to closing that had anything to do with why the food was so mediocre and service terrible? If that's the case, they should not allow for people to make reservations close to closing time. We would've just chosen a different restaurant. Ambience: 3.75/5 It was pretty loud and lively with two big groups at the tables adjacent to us, which we were surprised because it was a random Tuesday evening. There is only outdoor seating, but the heaters kept us quite warm. The lighting was dim, which contributed to the lowkey ambience. The restaurant had a nice aesthetic overall and felt clean, and while the food was mediocre in taste, the presentation was aesthetic. I've been debating between giving this place 1 or 2 stars out of 5, but rereading my review, I think they're more deserving of a 1 star. We had high expectations for this place, but they completely missed the mark with my group and me. I would not recommend this place to others unless you prioritize ambience, but even then, there are plenty of SF restaurants that do it better.

After placing our order and my friend paying for it, we walked towards the left wall (https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=saJuyv784apZzH--psHZ3Q&select=0fy2Fh-Q2N9LVyvUK5PAUw) and saw two water stations under the Thrive City mural. We waited along the wall as the expediting station was just before the wall. There are cups provided at the water station so my friend and I each got a cup and I grabbed some napkins. After about 8 minutes, our order was called and my friend claimed it. We walked back to the outside dining area as all seats and tables inside were occupied. A kind gentleman at a 4-seat table kindly allowed us to share the table with him. Not wanting to eat too much before the game, we shared the California Sisig burrito, pork, requesting on our order that it be cut in half; our burrito was comprised of pork, French fries, shredded cheese, sour cream, guacamole, and pico de gallo. Here is a photo of my half (https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=saJuyv784apZzH--psHZ3Q&select=8-67jjaNjmA_nRVaWdrySw). I requested a complimentary tomatillo salsa (https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=saJuyv784apZzH--psHZ3Q&select=1gtm20H4kvvYMB_pEFNVOg) on the side which I poured onto my burrito intermittently as I ate. I enjoyed that it was tasty yet not messy or wet. That is one of my peeves, when burritos leave my hands dripping from the sauces from the burrito. My friend enjoyed hers and we agreed that we would dine here again. We arrived relatively early (5:30 pm for a 7 pm game) yet the restaurant was full. As we left a little before 6 pm, the line spanned to about 15-18 people. Since we used the iPad station, there was no interaction with staff other than picking up the burrito. I mentioned to one the expediters that one of the water station was running low. A few minutes later, he refilled it fully. This is a good option if you're craving Mexican items with a Filipino spin but I recommend coming early if you don't want to wait too long.

    Have you ever experienced something that while it was happening, you already wish it could be for…read morethe first time again? Filipino-Japanese fusion has been a tried and true combination, including my boyfriend and I's relationship (ba dum tss). However, Ox and Tiger have MASTERED the fusion aspect. Ox and Tiger is an intimate dining experience, with 8 seats, and gorgeous plating, menu, and cute chopstick rests! Comes with 3 courses with an additional 4th add-on. They also have a drinking menu, and they noted that the menu changes every 2 months (every even month!) EJ is such a wonderful story teller, and Hitomi (who created the menu for the month of May) had a great twist on everyday classics in Japanese cuisine. As the dishes were prepared and presented, EJ would tell the backstory on the dish(es), a personal note about each, and Hitomi's take on it to sweeten the deal. As soon as the experience starts, EJ tells us that the doors will be locked to prevent any distractions from outside (aka if you're late, you're outta luck), but we were encouraged to go outside for air if necessary. (I tried taking these notes on the food while EJ was talking about each dish so bear with me). ESL lunch The backstory was that Hitomi loved caesar salad while going to school in America, so she created a "perfect bite" with a Japanese twist to it. The word "gomoku" literally translates to "5 ingredients," to which I was only able to remember 2 of 5 of the vegetables, which were snappeas and roasted beets, with quinoa and tinapa (smoked fish). The fish that was used wae a cured Spanish makerel. T.A.M.M.Y I wish I remembered the words for this, but this is actually Hitomi's English name when she moved to the states. The acronym aspect was for the class at the time to think of ways to learn to like their name (each letter was a positive attribute and I can't remember what EJ said). The backstory to this was that Hitomi, being born and raised in Japan, was actually the biggest fan of California roll - did not like traditional sushi (or raw fish for that matter). - T.A.M.M.Y. is Hitomi's take on that. This was monk fish, with the fish scraps dipped into dashi sauce and kyuri (Japanese cucumber). In other words, no part of the fish was wasted in the making of this dish (in true Japanese AND Filipino fashion). This also had pinipig (granola-like topping glazed in shoyu) [Shoyu = soy sauce] Omiotsuke Now this is where I was blown away. First of all, I did not know what the hell this word was in English, but I watched every part of this dish being prepared and was even more confused when it was presented as dessert. When EJ started explaining, it made all the sense in the world. There is a tofu skin roll, vanilla ice cream, a mushroom topping, cherry miso compote concoction (this is where I butchered the exact creation - this is where the flavor was distracting me from what it actually was). Did you notice the ingredients? What is one thing one will eat at any Japanese restaurant, almost as a courtesy/complimentary item? Omiotsuke is, as polite as one could possibly say, is miso soup. This is Hitomi's take on miso soup, the flavor was spot on. I never thought to pair dashi-like flavors with ice cream (there is already shoyu with vanilla ice cream, but this was a flavor sensation). EJ was so kind when my boyfriend and I admitted we came for an anniversary, and we even got to see his reaction when we said we were also Japanese/Filipino (I'm also an Ox, but no Tigers here). They took this lovely photo of us to commemorate the evening, which sits on our fridge to this day. Again, gochiso-salamat :) to EJ and staff! We hope to come back soon.

    First started as a pop-up in 2018, Ox+Tiger offers Filipino/Japanese fusion cuisine inspired by the…read morelives of the two chefs behind the kitchen. Situated in a small, 8 seat counter, dinner is intimate with dishes being prepared right in front of you. The menu features three courses, an appetizer, main, and a dessert - with the option for an additional add-on. Our meal featured a focus on fish, in particular mackerel and monkfish. Each of the dishes were deconstructions of familiar concepts such as Caesar salad and a California roll, but enhanced with new flavors. The mackerel was sublime, perfectly charred exterior with a still raw interior. The monkfish was tender, coated in a ginger, wasabi sauce next to crispy sweet rice and avocado. The dessert was by far the most unique, being a miso dashi, mushroom cherry coated coconut ice cream with a tupig-like mochi on the side. The savory, sweet, sour combination completely catches you off guard but becomes increasingly addictive the more you eat. So bold and absolutely memorable. Ox&Tiger takes familiar concepts, breaks them apart, then fuses them back together with a flair of Filipino and Japanese flavors. This results in dishes that are utterly unique and innovative. Additionally, with menus and playlists designed by family, this truly feels like the epitome of a family-run business and a meal cooked with so much care in front of you. This is absolutely worth a visit and an opportunity to try new flavors you've never experienced before.

    Spot on Filipino comfort food…read more In all the years I've lived in the City, Kusina Ni Tess was a restaurant I had yet to try until recently. I think I may have evaded it out of homage to my Mom's own cooking, but Kusina provides the perfect opportunity to satisfy a craving for comfort food away from home. It was definitely a pleasant surprise. This restaurant is no-frills; the stars of the show are the fresh and tasty entrees you can see and choose from at the counter. They allow you to choose combination plates or ala carte depending on what you're craving. I had the Dinuguan with garlic rice, while my friend had the Lumpia Shanghai and Palabok noodles. Nothing disappointed--every dish hit the spot. For a moment, I felt like I was at a Filipino party with a few tables for parties of 2 or 4. The staff members were friendly and pleasant while taking my order. Bravo to Tess! I'll definitely be back now that I know where this hidden Sampiguita of a restaurant is, right around the corner from my downtown apartment.

There were plenty of menus posted throughout the restaurant, but I noticed that none of them listed prices. You order at the counter and wait for your receipt number to be called, then pick up your food on a tray and bring it to your table. Water is self-service. I ordered the Pork Adobosilog ($15.50) -- savory pork adobo served with garlic fried rice and a fried egg. The adobosilog was good, and the portion size was just right, although the price felt a little high for a hole-in-the-wall restaurant. The garlic fried rice was disappointing because I couldn't really taste any garlic and it tasted more like plain fried rice. The pork adobo was tender and easy to eat. If I'm in the neighborhood and craving Filipino food, I may revisit the restaurant and try another silog from the menu.

The food is Asian comfort at its absolute peak. The lumpia? Crispy, savory perfection. The sisig? Sizzling, bold, and dangerously addictive. And that garlic rice was simple, fragrant, and the kind of side dish that quietly steals the whole show. The service and ambiance are exactly what you'd expect from a tasty Asian restaurant. you will leave stuffed, satisfied, and already planning your next visit before you've even left the parking lot.

I got their Lechon Kawaii, pork adobo and garlic rice. All silog's comes with garlic rice or white rice and an over easy egg. You can add tomato for $2 extra (two sides combo upgrade is $3 more) I loved their Lechon sooooo tender and crispy paired well with the side of white vinegar or the brown sauce! We shared their sizzling sisig which was great per my cousin but I think it was a little dried without the egg? We got the combo of pork and chicken. Shared a Poncit Bihon, I always said more lemon the better but it was ok? I will try other other noodles dishes next time.

Easy, convenient, and perfectly priced for the generous quantity--exactly what I needed. But the real star? The lumpia. It stole the show. People kept coming up to me asking, "Where did you get this?" and "Who brought it?" Safe to say, I had the standout dish of the day. Irma's didn't just deliver food--they delivered a hit. I have a feeling my department will be placing plenty more orders in the future!

Not too salty either which is good because Filipino food can be a tad salty sometimes. Lumpia Shanghai was yummy and maybe because of the condensation due to delivery, it wasn't as crunchy as I like. BUT I like their price point. $55 for 100 pieces of Lumpia Shanghai! STFD! So guess what I did?! I got a party tray of these for a work potluck. It did cost extra to get it DoorDash to me, but I don't have time to pick up stuff all over town on a work day. Especially multiple trays of goodies from different places. If you do, then this is even a better deal! The LS came in an aluminum tray. Perfectly crispy and yummy. They were a HIT! And gone when you blinked twice! Located on 16th St and S. Van Ness
