Goldilocks National City

"We had our breakfast the first time we came to eat at this restaurant and everything that we ordered was delicious! We came back 2 days after to have our lunch and we ordered pancit and pork belly sisig and it was delicious as well, but the appetizer platter and dinuguan seemed to be pre-frozen and just was heated up in the oven, I can tell the Kare-kare was not cooked from scratch, the service is good overall."

"4.6 This is the place to go if you’re looking for authentic, traditional Filipino food. The food was delicious and the staff was very friendly. The variety of food available including desserts and pastries is unmatched. Portion size is generous and we ordered way too much! This place offered tastes of my childhood and I miss it already."

"We always visit this place when in SD because the food here doesn’t upsets our stomachs, the food is good and you can shop after you ate, all in one place. Garlic fried rice is always good. Lechon kawali (deep fried pork belly) is crispy, lumpiang Shanghai is ok; it’s crispy, needs more flavor. Tosilog: To is for Tocino (cured pork-a little sweet), Si is for sinangag (fried rice), Log is for itlog (eggs). Food items we tried before; Pinakbet; sautéed mixed vegetables with shrimp paste & pork, Bihon guisado (stir fried glass noodles), inihaw na pampano (grilled fish), beef Kaldereta; they were all good. For snacks we got, cassava cake-always good not too sweet, Biko (sweetened sticky rice) is good. Hopias taste ok, needs more flavor to the filling. Pandesal is ok. Had better pandesal back home but I will settle to their pandesal since home is toooooo far. We also got peanuts with garlic and pan de leche (Sweet bread rolls)-will update this review once I tried them. Good service and will come back again if we’re in SD."

"Parking: Struggle for parking at 11am on a weekday. Had to park far and walked over Ambience: Fast pace bakery on one side and casual dine in on other. Service: Nice and welcoming service. Food: We ordered a lot of the traditional dishes where most places serve the same but wanted to compare. Overall: Came there for some bakery items but ended up dining in for real food. Good food but I’ve definitely had better elsewhere."
