    Halo halo
    Angela K.

    First time trying Filipino food, and it was so good!! I didn't even know this place existed until I saw an instagram reel. I've been inside of this HEB before, but I never noticed the restaurant, probably because the times that I went it was already closed since it was late at night. There wasn't really a menu, so I just went with the classics - chicken adobo and chicken lumpia. The chicken was super flavorful and tender. The chicken lumpia was so crunchy and delicious. It comes with a dipping sauce. Once I got to the bottom of the styrofoam box though, I realized some of the styrofoam had melted, most likely because they had freshly fried the rolls and placed it into the box, so it was piping hot. As I was waiting for my chicken lumpia to come out, I noticed that people usually just order the combo meal which is 2 entrees with a side of rice for $10.99. They have a bunch of protein to choose from. I'll definitely try that next time. The halo halo was everything I imagined it to be. It was so creamy and not too overly sweet. It was refreshing! There's a ton of different toppings at the bottom- red bean, flan, fruit jellies, etc. The ube ice cream was great, and it gave the drink the nice purple color. This spot was pretty busy at the hour I went, but the wait time wasn't too bad since I was having a conversation with a friendly customer. I'll be back again!

    Located inside of HEB! The food is masarap. Very good food and location. You can grab some grocery and a meal for the day. We stopped in for Brekky after our cruise and really enjoyed it.

    Had lunch with a friend who knows Cebu Lechon. It's my first time here, tucked away inside an HEB grocery store. The menu boasts a wide variety of choices, from classic sinigang to comforting tinola. The ambiance isn't fancy, but the servings are generous and the flavors are surprisingly delightful. They also offer whole Lechon for catering, which I've savored at events and parties. Definitely worth a try...

    Hidden gem inside HEB! I can't believe it took me this long to try To-Go Cafe, but it was well worth it. They have all day Filipino breakfast plates, and I like the Cornsilog with Garlic Rice and the Bangsilog, so delicious and reminds me of a home cooked meal. They have many lunch plate options and generous portions as well. Try their Lechon or Lechon Kawali which is also seasoned well and crispy. I also really enjoyed the Pan de Ube (sweet Ube filled rolls), they are soft, fluffy, and the creamy Ube filling is yummy and the best I've had in Houston. The customer service is very friendly and quick, and they also have a small dining area for your quick lunch. To-Go cafe is a must stop if you're in the area and wanting Filipino food. You can even make a grocery run afterwards while you're at it!

    Real Filipino (Phillipino) comida food!! Large assortment of tasty foods and pastries too. Made fresh and ready to eat or take-out!! Conveniently located inside a HEB store so you can get your shopping experience done and grab some chow!! Filipinos eating here and making the comida in the back room!! Authentic dishes and pretty good pricing for the portions!! Yummy Yummy for Super Friday before Turkey day!!

    If you want "To Go" and find some great Filipino food, look no further. Located inside one of the worst H-E-B locations you could ever visit, this is actually a pretty good Filipino food place, in fact it can be amazing, and one which I tend to stop by now and again, usually with my girlfriend. And while it's not some kind of gourmet Filipino restaurant, not that you'd want it to be as these little stands usually have the best food, it definitely has some treats and some interesting homemade snacks that are well worth the try. In fact, all things considered, I would say this is literally the only reason we will ever come inside such a bad grocery store again.

    Excellent Filipino food with tons of flavor and a very reasonable price. Don't be swayed because this restaurant is inside HEB, it's well worth the visit. The food was all fresh and very flavorful! Our whole family thoroughly enjoyed our meal and we had leftovers to take home with us! We waited for some fresh lumpia and it was definitely hot & fresh, but a little heavy on the shrimp. It made it a bit fishy. Overall, the food, service and atmosphere were great and we will definitely be back when we are in the area.

    Caldereta and Lechon
    Maria D.

    Came here as soon as I got back in town! As usual food is great but the caldereta seemed bland today. It wasn't as flavorful and vibrantly colored as before. I also got tge lechon paksiw and it was awesome! Hubby got the tocilog and he loved it! I will def come back again to see if the old style caldereta comes back

    AUTHENTIC!!! Def a good fix for my Filipino food away from my Dad's cooking! Prices are pretty good for the big servings! Plentiful to choose from and ready to eat! Come hungry, leave full!!!

    Great filipino food located inside an HEB. Love that they offer Filipino breakfast all day long. The prices are cheap and love the variety they offer. Fast service! Best place to order party trays too.

    Been looking for solid Filipino food. This place blows Max's away. I left very satisfied and comforted. This is going to be my go to Filipino spot. Highly recommend.

    Mrs and & I finally made it back to this Filipino cafeteria inside the HEB to try some of the steam table offerings. We went with pork sisig (meat from the head including the ears), veggie pancit (clear noodle), and BBQ pork skewers. We shared with our youngest daughter. Everything were seasoned and cooked well. All the proteins were tender. The family believed this shack has the best tasting Filipino steam table foods in Houston. Lots of options were available. Prices were similar to other steam table shacks. Service was friendly and efficient. Youngest daughter wants to try breakfast plates in the future.

    That's always the food is always good at this place. you get more for your money when you eat at this place

A 2-year Michellin star BBQ joint was a great way to spend a Saturday afternoon. My friends and I got there around 10am and were lucky enough to grab a number. The number secures your spot in line but don't worry if you show up and they run out, there's a spot on the porch where the non-number line starts. We ordered moist brisket, garlic sausage, and the beef rib. For sides, we went with mac and cheese and beans. Everything was superb! The brisket melted in your mouth, no knife needed. The sausage had a nice snap to it and get great flavor. The bark on the beef rib was *chef's kiss*. The mac and cheese was creamy while the beans had a nice sweet and tangy flavor. The service is also great! While we were eating, staff would regularly check all of the tables to check if anyone needed anything. The staff taking our order also chatted with us about other BBQ spots we've been to. Everything was such a great experience and the quality of the food is 100/10!

    Killen's never disappoints…read more Their beef ribs were just short of amazing. Juicy, succulent, tender. For a giant piece of meat on the bone, they worked wonders. You can ask to see the piece of rib before they cut it for you and they will happily oblige (patrons behind you might not be so thrilled with that move, but they'll live). Sides were excellent as were the mashed potatoes with white gravy on the side, green beans that were just tender enough, but also a bit crunchy. Perfect. They were seasoned with pork, so if that's not your thing, you might want to skip it. We also ordered their shareable onion rings, easily enough for three people that were huge, hot, and crispy. Let's get this out of the way, some of their prices are a little up there, but if you're anything like me, and don't frequent BBQ places often, it's a rare but enjoyable treat. Sometimes you have to splurge and live a little. Also, they have their regular sauce on tables, but you now have to ask the cashier for their sublime coffee BBQ sauce. Don't be shy, ask. It's worth it. Oh, pro tip: If you want beef ribs, the 'plate' is actually cheaper and a better deal than 'by the pound', so save a little money and get two sides.

    The food was ok, the Brisket Sandwich a bit dry for my taste…read more My Companion had the Pulled Pork Sandwich, she said it was good but didn't care for the Potato Salad. Service was good and quick serviced from steam tables. Employees friendly but quiet. Casual dining but a bit loud. The restaurant was clean. Lots of parking. But 54$ for two Sandwiches, one with 2 sides it a bit much.

    Spacious.. they have a patio room with a huge tv, bar seating, and tables all around. It was like a…read moretourisy bbq spot because they had like a tiny little gift shop like spot where you can buy trinkets or souvenirs. They have sandwiches and tacos. The best thing there is probably the brisket though. It's moist and fatty and easy to eat. The ends weren't hard, charred, or chewy. I don't think there was like seasoning or flavor was heavy but the quality of the meat was delicious. The sides weren't the best or even best selection. Just the basic corn bread, steamed okra, green beans, and a few others. They had like garnishes at the condiment bar. They have sauces like coffee bbq, hot sauce, habernaro, and bbq sauce.. the bbq sauce is the best. The coffee bbq sauce literally taste like espresso and was weird. The habernaro sauce was just straight medium spicy but no extra flavor or sweetness to it. The hot sauce is more like Louisiana or Tabasco type of hot sauces. The service was nice at the bar and counter.

    5 star for brisket egg roll. I would come back only for that because it was so good I would…read moredisregard the rest of the meal. The rest I give 3/5 stars. I love Texas BBQ so I've been to all the Austin, Dallas, and Houston spots especially on Texas Monthly. Brisket was dry, chicken was brined for a little too long and gave a tire texture. Potato salad was too wet, too fatty, and didn't provide the acidity to contrast the fat. The sausage was decent, I give 4/5 stars. It was thick, juicy, and was similar to other places such as Truth, Corkscrew, Terry Black's, etc. The elotes was also too acidic for my liking and the cheese on top didn't mix well with the dish. Finally, the brisket was just ok. I must've gotten a lean piece because it had the texture of chicken thighs. The bark wasn't flavorful or smoky. Barbecue sauce was what I expected. Worchestchire, ketchup, and brown sugar elements make up for an average BBQ spot. Overall, I would come back and order 10 of the brisket egg rolls and call it a meal.
