Fredcel Lumpias & Catering

I have been craving lumpia for the past few months so I ended up finding this place on Yelp.I was already in the area so I thought I'd check it out.You would expect this place to have great Lumpia since it's in the name.The place does not have a lot of parking, but I suspect a lot of people come by for a quick pickup, they are in and out in a flash. They primarily sell lumpia here (but they do have pancit and other Filipino dishes).I ended up getting about 34 lumpia for around $20.They only make beef ones here and I would definitely keep this gem on my list when a craving strikes again.The owner(?) was very nice and friendly.They open at 11 am and I had to circle around a few times to get a spot in the front. The service was fast and the lumpia came out piping hot and seasoned perfectly.They came with some sweet and sour sauce. (I prefer to not use the sauce, but I did eat a few with it)Service: 5/5 (friendly and fast)Ambiance: 4/5Food: 5/5

Great prices, very friendly, cash only. 10/10 lumpia and they were not stingy with sauce and napkins. Highly recommend as a quick snack or large catering order.

Fresh lumpia. Highly recommend putting in your order ahead of time. Parking is limited.

Great lumpia and very friendly service. Highly recommended for get-togethers and office parties.- The one issue will be parking. You might have to park a block away.- Cash only- Orders over 50 lumpia need to be placed in advance.

Discovered this gem while it was "temporarily closed" according to Yelp status. They have regular hours and only do takeout for now, and cash. Made notification with Yelp, but it has yet to show. This is just to let you all know that they are up and running. Have had the chicken adobo, chicken tocino, pancit, and of course the lumpia. The abobo, tocino, and the lumpia are very good. The pancit is done with vermicelli noodles and not my favorite rendition. I prefer it done with an egg noodle and thicker, but to each their own.Am so glad I stopped by when it said it was closed. Would have had to wait further. Guess there's a lesson in that.Highly recommend

Really bummed to give such a low rating because these guys make really good lumpia. They've been our go-to catering for lumpia for several years but unfortunately they don't honor their reservation system and really put us in a bind this past weekend. Called a few days out and was told we'd have a pickup time of 2pm. Got there at 2pm and were told it'd still be a 40 minute wait, even with a pre-scheduled pickup time. And this is after standing in a single line for both pickup and in-person orders for 20 minutes in a hot and stuffy receiving area. The guy was pretty unapologetic and after multiple instances of unfulfilled scheduled pick-up orders, extended wait times, and an overall inefficient ordering system, we've decided to not return and stop referring people here.

SHOW UP AND SHOW SUPPORT(4 stars)When your peeps making that hustle - you better rave about! Upon entry, I did feel like I was entering an eatery in the PI. I don't ever go to this neck of the woods in SD (Cherokee Point/City Heights) but sometimes the most unlikely neighborHOODS you will find gems that you never thought existed. Why drive south or north, or pay for overpriced mediocre Filipino food in SD proper, when you can just come here?! Looks like locals to the neighborhood love this place, I can see why!- Food: good- Service: excellent- Price: VERY affordable - Ambiance: to-go only, mom and pop shopHonestly, I was skeptical but after reading reviews I wasn't. The block it's on isn't that bad but the surrounding blocks, could be sketch. I noticed there was always people coming in to buy food. To my observation, mga puti at maraming all other ethnic groups. That's cool and I respect that!!! Its turo-turo style in addition a few exported goods from PI (snacks, bottled sauces, purses). :: FOOD ::YO!!!! They had NAGARAYA nuts (adobo and garlic) in inventory. I've been to all the Filipino and Asian supermarkets in the county to not be able to find these. Well, they have them here - they import their own goods from the homeland! And only $2.50/$2.75 (something like that) per bag. BUT CHECK THE EXPIRATION... my adobo bag had expiration of Sept 2022 (it's about to be Feb 2023). All good, went back for an exchange no problem. COMBO 1 SIDE ($9.50) - pancit and lumpia. Portion to price, getting a good deal. Real talk, I really came here to try their lumpia. FYI, lumpia itself is only $0.60 per piece. Decided to make a meal out of it and ordered pancit. The pancit (bihon style) was average to me. Y'all know everyone Filipino are picky with their pancit. Not my favorite place for pancit but consumable. The lumpia is Shanghai style, right amount of crunch (and grease). It was served with sweet and sour sauce, however I wish they had the option for vinegar-garlic sauce. They were tasty to me and glad they were cheap and all what I was craving for. HIGHLY RECOMMEND.Will I be back? Yes, when I'm lazy to leave San Diego proper and want some cheap homecooking eats.JABA APPROVED. Until the next review....

The lumpia was so good, and very reasonably priced. We ordered to go, and the cashier was so nice. Just remember this place is cash only, and sells out of stuff as the day goes on

The best Lumpias in town. This place more lumpias than any other spot for sure. Order them for party's. They obviously have the common Filipino food as well. It's good but the Lumpias dang it's a must have. Their menu prices are low too.

Business has been around for 17 years now. Says a lot. The gentleman behind the counter was kind and showed me their menu and offers. Ordered 50 pieces of the lumpia for a potluck. Told me it would be 20 minutes but really only took 10 minutes.
