    Amazing service by the Tambayan team! We went after the indoor swap meet closed but you can still grab a grub through their back door. I know, it looked sketchy but honestly sooo glad we went because we were just visiting Vegas for awhile. They had amazing Filipino food, I recommend the chicken skin, the skewers, and the silog dishes. Also, their decor is so cute??? They have a small stage for live music and they even set up karaoke! We need this in OC!

    A little restaurant hidden inside the indoor swap meet on Decatur Street. The people who works there are very nice and friendly. The food was very good and for the beef dish they just need to cut the oil because it was very oily but tasty. The chicken skin was our favorite very flavorful

    Stopped by for a snack and grabbed some bbq sticks for $3. The staff were friendly, definitely will need to wait as food is made fresh. Plenty of seating and gives you a Filipino karaoke/street food stall vibes. Give them a try.

    Food was amazing! My wife had gotten the tapsilog meat was very flavorful and tender one of the best Tapa in LV that we had tried. I got the tocsilog which is the sweet pork really good. Not too sweet and not super tough like most places. Each dish came with a side of garlic rice and 2 eggs and tomato. We ordered a side of chicken skin I believe it was a special nice and crispy. For drinks we had shared a Melon very refreshing. Service was great very attentive made sure we were comfortable and got everything we needed. Place was very clean it is located inside the Fantastik swap meet on row A corner right from the main entrance. We will be coming back as locals.

    Located in the Indoor Swap Meet Fantastic on Decatur. When you walk in, it's on the first right down the aisle. TIP: Because they are located in the swap meet, there is a $1 entrance fee. Service was good. The female worker who seems to be the owner was very nice and sweet. Food: Sisilog - Garlic Rice, Seasoned Chopped Pork and Eggs Bangsilog- Fried Milkfish, Garlic Rice and Eggs Walang Porkever Lumpia Complimentary Pancit I was not a fan of the Waland Porkever. The sauce was not to my liking. I wiped the sauce off. My preference is plain and on the grill and not smothered in a sauce. The other dishes were all good. The sisig was yummy and my BF enjoyed the Bangsilog. The lumpia was equally as delicious. The pancit was very tasty that I would order that again. Overall, a great spot and I'd try other dishes on my next visit.

    No contest best bbq in town! The lumpia is also very good With the sweet and sour sauce.

    What a great find! Definitely will come back here when craving Filipino food. We got the sisilog and tocilog, both picks were delicious! So flavorful and such a fulfilling meal and the melon juice was just right with the sweetness. They were welcoming inside and very friendly, felt like home. Inside was nice and clean.

    Fried chicken skin

    Everything was so good! The chicken skewers are so flavorful, the deep fried pork was nice and crunchy and the sauce that came with it was so good. The chicken skin was a hit with the kids and a huge portion!

    Chicken Tail!!!

    The food in this place is amazing. It is a combination of different kinds of foods. Sliders, Silogs and Pancit. The taste is authentic.?The service is very good. They are very nice and friendly. Like visiting your family and friends. The place is located at the indoor swap meet and is conveniently located towards the front. People come here for excellent food and to celebrate their special occasion. It reminds me of the eateries in Manila where you can be casual and relaxed. SO to Geraldine whose generosity and hospitality is so genuine. I love all their dishes and I Am highly impressed. I highly recommend that you experience this wonderful place.

    Best place to get authentic Filipino food , the food was served fast. We ordered Airpods(tenga), bbq , tosilog, bangsilog, goto, tokwa't baboy . All the food we ate was sooo good. And the service was superb! They treated us with warm Filipino hospitality. If you want good food, with great service and best price for a generous servings , this is the place you can go to! I failed to take photos of the other orders as we got too excited to eat!!! Ambiance is cozy they even got a place you can perform.

    Halo-halo

    Besides the Silogs that we ordered, the Halo-halo and the BBQ (super tender) was the highlight for us. Everything was so good! Flavor was on point. Chef Eric and Ms. Den, thank you for the excellent food! Sorry we didn't have photos of the dishes, we were so excited that we chowed it down.

    Halo halo

    Legit experience, very tasty food. BBQ is very good as well as the silog plates. Location is inside the fantastic swap meet, but if you go outside the swap meet hours, check out the service door on the side of the building. They have a door bell there, easy peasy!

    We decided to check out this BBQ restaurant after seeing the high ratings across multiple review…read moreplatforms, so I'll admit our expectations were pretty high. It's located off the Strip in a somewhat hidden, out-of-the-way plaza, which gives it more of a local, low-key feel. One thing I noticed right away was that the menu posted in the lobby didn't have prices, but the menu behind the register did. They have a huge selection of food, so there are plenty of options to choose from. We ordered the burnt ends, brisket, mac and cheese, chicken sliders, meatloaf, mashed potatoes, coleslaw, and cornbread. The brisket was unfortunately overcooked, although the burnt ends were good. The meatloaf was okay but definitely not the best I've had. The mac and cheese was good, and the mashed potatoes were actually really good. The chicken sliders were just okay, and the cornbread didn't really stand out. Overall, I was a little disappointed because the reviews had me expecting something exceptional. Everything was decent, but honestly, the meal was pretty mediocre for me. Nothing was terrible, but nothing really blew me away either. I'd still give it four stars because there were several good items, the menu has a lot of variety, and our overall experience was fine. However, based on the ratings, I definitely expected more.

I've been chasing that Texas BBQ high ever since, so when my parents said they loved this place, I had to check it out on my next visit. The brisket and beef dino rib were absolutely the stars -- cooked and seasoned perfectly, fall-apart tender. I loved it so much I looked up their pitmaster and, sure enough, he's from Texas. Definitely tracks. The brisket musubi was also a total knockout, a great nod to Vegas being the "ninth island." Their habanero BBQ sauce had just the right hint of spice to cut through the fat, and the Brussels sprouts and cornbread sides were great too. Can't wait to come back and do this all over again.

We ordered the meaty beans as well but they forgot to give them to us so no idea All in all. I would go back for the out of this world pastrami It's alittle hole in the wall kind of place.

However, once our server came over, the first thing he told us was that they were out of ribs and pork burnt ends. On a Saturday night at 6 p.m., being out of the two most popular items on the menu was frustrating. Since we had heard such great things about this restaurant, we thought everything else must be amazing, but unfortunately, that was not the case. We ended up ordering brisket and pork, both of which were extremely dry, and the sauces were honestly terrible. While my daughter wanted to run outside, my husband took her out for a moment. During that time, someone from the grill was bbqing and told him that the ribs would be ready in 10 minutes. We were confused because we would have gladly waited 10-20 minutes for ribs if we had been given that option. Instead, our server simply told us they were out for the night. We had to track him down multiple times for soda etc. I asked the woman at the front for the manager's card because I wanted to share our experience. Within five minutes, the manager came out to speak with us. We explained what had happened, but he cut us off, defended the server, and told us oh he's so sorry to hear that. I was not expecting anything from him, but a simple explanation and a willingness to listen to the customer would have gone a long way. Unfortunately, we will never be back and could advise everyone to try rolling smoke house up the street!

Today we came back again hoping for a better experience, and we were told they were basically closing the kitchen because they were so backed up and asked if we still wanted to wait. Based on our previous experiences, we decided to just leave. The food is good, but after this happening three times in a row, it seems like there's a serious issue with how the kitchen is being managed.
