    Filipino Breakfast served ALL DAY?!! I love this quick concept for Filipino food! Each silog plate is catered for one person, and comes with garlic rice and an egg. This is mostly a take out spot, where you order at the kiosk or can find them on delivery apps, but there are tables inside too if you prefer to dine in.  You know we had to get the Tosilog, which was really good and probably my favorite plate. I also like that they give packets of lemon juice and little cups of vinegar. I drenched my plates in that vinegar, soooo good lol. What we ordered: * Lumpia * Tapsilog * Tosilog * Longsilog * Bangsilog * Adobosilog * Pancit * Desserts - Halo-Halo & Mais Con Yelo

    Authentic, quick, accommodating, and delicious Filipino food! It's a fast casual dining experience, and the ambiance reminded me of Vigan restaurants. With the similar wood like top tables, and the decore of different provinces. The food is really portioned well! Like each Silog box comes with rice, protein, and sauce! The food is tasty too! Not too salty, def not bland. And the flavors are a mixture of all the different provinces, and not just one style of Filipino cooking. They have halo halos tooo omg! Very hard to find a good halo halos these days in the Bay Area. Summer is coming so you def want to stop by for this! Drinks are house made , really refreshing. Plenty of parking in the lot. Kinda a hidden gem this spot is, because it's on a quiet street and plaza in San Leandro. I highly recommend catering with them! I am thinking about that soon!

    Masarap! Must try Ordered liempo for dine in. Ended ordering another one for to go. Good service and all

    I walked in and there was no one here so I didn't grab a table. When I finished ordering at the kiosk, all the tables were taken! It was an Asian Invasion!!!! Lol. Must be a good place to eat. Apparently a basketball game just ended and several families walked in. Ordering on the kiosk was easy. You click on what you want and it takes you to a window for extra options. Many different "silog" varieties to choose from: aside from the usual, they also have spam, adobo, tinapa, chicken, hotdog, and bagnet. You can also order pancit and lumpias. I ordered the Liemposilog and a halo halo. Liemposilog was decent. Good portion size! Lots of meat. Didn't look so much like the photo. I thought it would be more similar to Lechon Kawali. This was thinner and not crunchy. Halo Halo was good. Lots of toppings. Definitely a great place to stop for fast Filipino food. Establishment was clean. A few tables for couples and small groups. Order came out within 5-10 min.

    Halo halo.

    Been wanting to try this place for a minute. I perused the menu before.i wasn't in the mood for any -silog dishes. I drove over because I wanted to have them hang a flyer of an upcoming Filipino Heritage program at my library. I walked in apparently they had just got their power restored 10 mins before. I decided on the pancit and halo halo to go. Ok the halo halo was good. The pancit apparently was a mix of two different pancit, bihon and canton and it was topped with stripes of fried pork. Im a strictly bihon person. Now I know my people dish is heavy on garlic especially Adobe. But this had too much garlic. The vampires from Translyvannia could smell it. Ill be back for the halo halo though. I stick to making my own bihonpancit

    Tosilog

    During my lunch break, I got the Tosilog because I didn't get the chance to pack myself my regular homemade lunch. Thought this was a good chance to try out Tapsilog Express for the first time. As I was really excited to see a filipino restaurant in the area. However, about an 1.5hr back into work, I realized from my symptoms, I got food poisoning. I'll save the details for privacy reasons. From this, it extremely affected how I functioned for the rest of my shift. Only after visiting Yelp reviews to see it has 6 health violations already is concerning. I would hope the staff and team are taking more serious precautions to ensure proper food handling and safety.

    We this establishment on the way home. Decided to try it. There's a kiosk to order and the menu is easy and basic. Looking at the prices it's overpriced for some silog meal. I'm sorry but $14 for a longsilog is highway robbery. For a small bowl of pancit is $9. And the portions are small. You have to order a side to make it satisfying and that's $9. The pancit was delicious. And the longganisa and tapa was ok. Definitely worth trying out if you're in the area.

    if you're a real corn lover, you will enjoy the mais con yellow. crunchy ice, creamy ice cream and sweet corn kernels on the bottom. had a fun time eating and tasting it. tapsilog is sweet and savory shredded beef. can have some tougher bites but still good overall. parking situation hit or miss because its shared in a plaza. order through kiosk but the staff packing ur order are nice!

    This is a place a crave quite a bit but am not as close as I wish I was. I was introduced to tapsilog from a regular and local. At first I didn't think much just based off the location but I try to not judge a book by it's cover and actually try the food and then judge based off that. So this is a definitely must try spot for me. A hole in the wall that is too good to not try for yourself. The service is usually quick and very friendly. You could go and order in person which is a tablet, call in the order, or order online for pick up. All very quick and very efficient. The actual location is in a small shopping center but finding parking isn't that hard. I got the liemposilog. The pork belly is crispy and yummy. I always add condiments to my rice to give it some extra flavor like the vinegar and some chili oil for extra flavor if not you could also have it as is. The space is very open and great vibes inside. Overall I always can't wait to get back to the bay to get this for lunch. Check them out!!

    WHAT IS a tapsilog plz?

    Maria R has it right but just to take it further. The dish has its roots in the Philippines, originating as a Breakfast meal that has evolved into a street food that can be eaten any time if the day, making it a great fast food item for restaurants.…

Not sure if it's the busy season or the way they make their food, the fries were nasty. They were dry and hard, not just one piece but the whole tray. Salt packets were provided. Burger... ugh.

I love a charbroiled burger where you can actually see and taste the char, a soft bun, and melted American cheese. I ordered the bacon cheeseburger with an extra slice of cheese, swapped the regular onions for grilled onions, and got the fries extra crispy. The burger was amazing. You could really taste the char on the patty, and they even char the bun, which I loved. Everything worked really well together, and it was so good without tasting heavy or greasy like some burgers can. The fries were good, but I personally prefer thinner fries, more like McDonald's size. If I changed anything, I would've asked for extra mayo on the burger. Definitely coming back!

It looks really nice at night lit up. BUT.. what I don't appreciate is ordering and being asked by the staff (who I'm told are only following their bosses or managers orders) if I want a "regular sized" meal when in reality, they're asking you to upgrade to the larger size. When they say "regular", that doesn't mean the combo price you see on the menu. What is reflected in the menu size is actually a "small". On the menu my combo was $12.19 on the menu but after I stated "regular" on my order it suddenly changed to $12.99 on the screen, which is easy to miss if you're not paying attention. My review is 1.5 stars which I find to be a bad/sleezy bait and switch tactic which causes an almost $1 increase in price without you even knowing it. This is a shady business practice and very disingenuous for the business to do. Also I never received a receipt from this location which is probably how they get away with this. You've all been warned.

Not a lot of taco spots are open late at 10p but I saw that PNT was open. My family and I pulled into the driveway and were confused because it looked and sounded like a bar. There were a few people standing outside and I asked if this was a bar or restaurant and the gentleman said it's a restaurant. We walk in and got some stares because it was late and we had kids. Didn't matter to us. Everything on the menu sounded delish and they had al day breakfast items. We ended up going with the following: 1. Chicken sandwich- 10/10 my teen loved this. It was a crispy thinly sliced chicken breast with all the fixings, and pressed to perfection. 2. Chicken Caesar salad - 10/10 the lettuce was Romain, tossed in Caesar dressing and parm, with grilled chicken filet. 3. 4 tacos de asada - 10/10 yummy chopped steak, seasoned and grilled to perfection. I'm not sure if the evening chef cooks better or maybe we were starving, but the food was great! Ambience at the time was pretty loud but I figure it's because people hanging out in the bar area.

    ‼Absolutely horrible tasting food that is ridiculously over priced oh my god. NOT WORTH MY $44 !…read more I got these food items: Asada tacos- 1/2 of the taco meat was just big oily chunks of fat, I spat it out immediately. Rest of it was tolerable to chew. Tortilla was dry and oily. Al Pastor tacos- bland meat with a lingering dry pepper aftertaste that makes the meat taste old. Took one bite and was immediately repulsed. Chips and dip (guac and salsa)- chips are oily and hard to chew. Guac was bland, no garlic or cut tomato. Salsa was a viscous sludge in a small tub, had the same pepper taste as the Al Pastor. Horchata drink- too much cinnamon and saw multiple lidded to go cups of this already made in the fridge behind the register, no expiration dates on them. ALSO PLEASE UPDATE THE PRICES ON YOUR MENU, I was charged $11.95 for the chips and dip but the menu says "house chips and guac $9.50" ... how is salsa $2.45? Only positive thing I would mention is that the free tiny salsa, slice of lime, sliced radish, and pickled jalapeño and carrot was nice of them. Wish the pickled veggies didn't drip vinegar all over the bag (it was wrapped in tin foil). Never been here before and never coming back again.
