    Chicken sando
    Jenna T.

    They continue to update their menu which is refreshing. There's no longer outdoor seating and the inside gets packed pretty quickly. Service is quick, though. This time we had their chicken burger, mango strawberry pancakes, and a benedict that also came with garlic rice! Everything was delicious and came with huge portions. The pancakes were addicting. They offer a variety of regular breakfast diner food with lots of Filipino inspired dishes as well so it's a win-win for everyone! Check their weekly menu as they may offer different dishes to try!

    This place was packed Sunday for brunch. The turnover is quick because the food comes out quickly. The place is a bit small and there's a sign in list right when you walk in. The food was delicious. The brisket was nice and tender, but I would suggest getting it with the garlic rice instead of the potatoes and biscuit.

    We wanted to try something different for breakfast from our normal places. This small diner has a cozy retro feel with a friendly staff. I forgot to take a picture of my peach and strawberry french toast but it was delicious. It was a generous portion I also ordered an side of eggs and a ham steak that was needed counter the French toast. My wife ordered the corned beef and hash with a side of eggs which they placed on top. She liked the dish and it also was a generous amount.

    Great menu selection. My friend and I opted for the Une pancakes of course and we chose the Bansilog (milkfish with garlic rice, 2 eggs and I loved the pickled vegetables with the salad they served. Food was amazing! The house coffee was unexpectedly perfect. I drink strong coffee and theirs was on point. I of course live the warm Filipino welcome of the staff. Tita Nora was our sweet server and I forgot Tito's first name (busser), he was adorable! Thank you to the chef for making our homemade brunch. I felt nostalgic as this is how my Mom used to serve breakfasts on weekends. Definitely visiting this little gem again. It gets packed so prepare to wait. We were lucky we waited only about 5 minutes as people were leaving. Only street parking, but it's not that bad at all. Located in a quaint downtown area in Pinole. Ambiance is definitely is definitely casual, and it can get loud; but fun! There's also a bar seating if you wish to sit in that area (not pictured).

    the service was great and the food was even better. i got the bisteak and it was so fire especially the garlic rice. my only critique was i wish i had more garlic rice because it was that darn good that my girlfriend kept stealing it off my plate lol. another hard hitter that swept me off my feet was the ube pancakes. it was so freaking good that i kept eating piece after piece and rivals all other pancakes and almost takes my number 1 in favorite breakfast items. the pancakes were so fluffy and flavorful and the addition of fresh fruit and light whipped cream just took it to another level. will definitely try something else for a main breakfast dish but definitely definitely will be returning just for that pancake

    Found this spot on Yelp and the ube pancakes caught my eye! However once we arrived, they had a list of specials for the day and we decided on the blueberry calamansi instead. The calamansi butter was so delicious and fragrant! There was no shortage of blueberries either. The place is small and cozy, seems like a local staple hole-in-the-wall type of breakfast joint. It's nothing fancy but the food was well-cooked! I'd say my only complaint was the pricing seems a bit off. My adobo pork belly bowl was $20 for two slices of pork belly, while my husband's giant breakfast burrito was $15 and could've easily been two meals worth at that size. Otherwise it was a solid meal, friendly service, and the meals came out QUICK, I'm talking minutes! Which was great since we had driven about an hour and a half so we were ready to eat. Great spot if you want a quick and tasty meal!

    FILIPINO UBE PANCAKES
    Megan Y.

    Went because we saw pictures of ube pancakes (which were delicious). Ordered things off the Saturday specials menu, I got the tilapia, friend got the truffle fried chicken sandwich. All amazing. The restaurant is tiny but cute. And service is quick and efficient. Looking at the menu while waiting for your table can expedite the process.

    Ube pancakes
    Marichris P.

    Ordered for pick up and made it just before they closed thank goodness. The ube pancakes and the ube sauce were delicious and when we opened the box it was one of those feelings of excitement because the food tasted as good as it looked. We will definitely be back to this place. It's a pretty small restaurant and the ambiance seemed more casual. The service over the phone was very nice and they didn't rush me which I appreciate.

    Bourbon Banana French Toast
    Janee T.

    The ube pancakes were described as fluffy, but they were soggy and didn't taste like ube at all. They were also splitting apart, which I've never seen in a pancake before. The French toast was good though. IMO, only the American food part of the menu is good. The Filipino food/Filipino fusion part is a pass for me. But maybe I'm biased because I'm Filipino. The server was not very attentive, and messed up the order. I ordered the French toast, and the server asked if I wanted a 2 piece or a 3 piece. I said three. She came back with 3 orders of French toast. Like ma'am, what do I look like eating 3 orders of French toast? Thankfully, after explaining to her that I ordered 3 pieces and not 3 orders, she said okay and took 2 of the orders back. I felt bad for her. She looked very stressed because she was the only server in the whole restaurant. Having more people on their staff would help them a lot.

    Fried Tilapia and Longanisa
    Christine R.

    Don't skip out on this hole in the wall breakfast place. My cousin took me here for breakfast and it was delicious. It is a cute small family owned restaurant. The adobo pork belly, I would say was my favorite. The crispiness and flavor it had really hit the spot. We also just added a side of longanisa and putting those together was a perfect match. We did wish that the Tilapia was a bit more crispier but it was still good. I am more of a savory type of girl when it comes to breakfast, but I have a soft spot for Ube. I am very Filipino and love trying ube flavor things. It believe it was a mochi ube pancake because it was not the traditional pancake with ube flavoring. We got there pretty early at 10am and we got seated right away and did not wait for our food that long. I would say about 10:30, they had their waiting list piling up. I would say there was a good 3 or 4 families waiting. What I loved was that they didn't rush us to leave. I think my cousin's and I were there for maybe an hour and a half or less. They were great.

    Cabalen serves true authentic filipino food. As a filipina myself, the food here hits very close to…read morehome and although it is a little pricey, trips here are worth it due to the high quality of food and service. First off, portions are huge. Love their silogs and the many protein options they offer such as bangus, longanisa etc. Second, not only do they offer breakfast plates but they have sooo many other entree options that seem to rotate daily. It ranges from chicken adobo, to dinuguan, all the way to kare kare and much more. Lastly, they have tons of filipino dessert options spread across shelves on the walls for those who love their carbs and sweets. For 3 breakfast plates, and XL entree, one juice and chicharron, we paid a total of $88 (not including tip). Pretty pricey overall but dang did we buss down on the plates when we got home LOL. Love Cabalen as well as all the workers. They're all very sweet and helpful! Get here early because they will run out of food throughout the day and they close at 4:30p on weekends and 6p on weekdays.

    I got their lumpia fresh out of the fryer and they were super good! I also got an order of their…read morepancit, which I really liked as well. This place is pretty consistent and I've been coming here for years. My favorites from here are their adobo, pancit, bistek and sisig, oh and of course, lumpia!
