Came for the halo halo and will be back for the halo halo! This is a cool restaurant/shop and it's fun to look around at the unique items they have for sale while your food is being made. As I mentioned, we got the halo halo, and you know it's authentic when there's corn in it! The flavor was mild and delicious. It was everything I expect from a good halo halo and I'm glad I found this spot during my visit!

One of the only places for real deal Filipino food in the area. Being Filipino-American my standards were also super high.This place is solid and deserves more attention. Ordered a tray a lechon and lumpia ahead of time and came here to pick it up and get dinner as well. Unfortunately despite calling they had no idea of our order and was not prepared at the allotted time. Thankfully they said they would prepare it right there as we ate dinner.The food itself was great! Got the lumpia (spring rolls), sisig ( sizzling pork dish), and lechon ( roasted pork). All of it was really good and I have high standards for all those dishes. Our tray food did come in fresh after dinner so no foul on that end, but will have to take down a star for that.If you want real authentic Filipino food, would recommend!

Ordered takeout from here. The woman at the counter was very friendly. This place was easy to park at & locate. The outside is very unsuspecting, but the lady inside has a full seated restaurant area as well as a market. I honestly should've taken some time in the market, because I cannot get these items at home. The bbq pork skewer was REALLY good - juicy and tender! The fried pork belly was also good, and I ordered the grilled pork for tomorrow. Garlic rice is life changing. I will definitely be back!!!

I'm new to the area, I was craving some Filipino food and wanted to check this spot out. The service was great the lady was kind and helpful as it was my first time. I ordered pinakbet, kare kare, and biko for later. The kare kare was made with pork instead of oxtail (which I'm used to oxtail) however, it was still very good and I'll be ordering again! I can't wait to try their other food items. Definitely getting bbq stick and lumpia next time If you like Filipino food give them a try, you won't regret it! Salamat Mama Rosa!

If you're in the area and craving Filipino food or snacks, I highly suggest checking out Mama Rosa Grill. Finally had a chance to stop by after a visit to the Science Center (about a 10 min drive). Parking is a little scarce, so you may have to park a little further down from the restaurant. Order your meal at the counter. They have ready to go hot food (turo turo style) or items you can order from their menu. After ordering, I suggest you walk around the store to see if there are any Filipino groceries, snacks, or beverages you want to purchase before checking out. In addition to my food, I ended up leaving with some salt/vinegar chicharron, Spanish bread from Christines, and a couple beverages (Mogu Mogu).For food, of course we were eye hungry, so ordered sisig fries, half chicken inasal meal, and a big container of the lechon kawali. Everything was pretty good, with the lechon being the favorite. Sisig fries were good, but wish it came topped with a little less yum sauce. If you also like your sisig extra crispy, this dish isn't for you. The chicken was juicy, tender, and flavorful. Surprisingly the rice wasn't cooked right. It was overcooked and too mushy. The lechon remained crispy on the ride home (~45min) and was still hot. It was very tender and had a nice crunch to it. Definitely glad we went with the larger container!I'll definitely be back to Mama Rosa Grill the next time I'm in Baltimore. Their mixilog 1 was calling my name!

I'd been here once before, back when we first moved to the area. The food was okay but I opted to find a different restaurant. Today I didn't feel like driving out to my favorite spot so I tried this place again. We ordered the pork BBQ meal, extra chicken BBQ skewers, chicken adobo, chicken pancit, and lumpia. Everything was pretty good. I think the bbq skewers probably could have cooked a bit longer, the texture was kind of strange but the flavor was good. We simply stuck them in the air fryer for a bit before eating them. No other complaints. We can't speak to the service as this was a Grubhub order, but everything did arrive fresh and hot.

Mama Rosa Grill is a Filipino Super Market with a restaurant to accompany it.To quickly go over the grocery store element if it - you'll find a lot of traditional Filipino groceries such as dried taro leaves, chicharon, banana ketchup, and a multitude of Filipino snacks and candies. It has pretty much anything you'd want, so if you're trying to make Adobo, Filipino Spaghetti, or Sinigang - you'll find most of the things you'll need outside of actual produce or meats.Let's get to the food - it's authentic Filipino cuisine, and it's good and legit. Growing up Filipino all these dishes were very familiar to me, from the "chocolate pork" diniguan, pork or chicken bbq skewers, to the tamarind soup sinigan and breakfast platters of cured pork and egg.There is no wrong choice, all the food here will satisfy you. The -silog platters are a great value, coming with garlic rice, eggs, and whatever you want to accompany it - from fried milkfish to Filipino hotdog or sausage. The pricing is very reasonable, and less than what I would expect it to be in many restaurants. The service, as usual from any Filipino business, is genuine and kind - my phone died and the owners allowed me to charge my phone while I finished my meal!Mama Rosa is a strong recommend from me.

This a very inconspicuous spot located on the side of patapsco market. The interior is pretty laid back and basic. They have a small market place in the back that sells snacks and staple foods and there are seats available to sit and eat in the main restaurant area. The service is straight forward and they are direct with interactions in my opinion but your food is ready quickly. The food is good. I really enjoyed the chicharron, and marinated meat skewers.

Pork BBQ should be called Pork Jerky instead. Hard and chewy. The taste is not even close your typical Filipino Pork BBQ. very disappointed.
