BBQ Stand Outside Island Pacific

Unnamed BBQ stand in front of Island Pacific Market is here for limited hours on the weekend. No decor. No seating. Just a grilling station for skewers. Also prefried chicarrones. Boiled balut*.Offerings: skewers @4.90 of pork, chicken, hot dog, pig ears. Partially grilled. Re-grilled when ordered.Eats: pork & chicken [email protected] -had brushed on sauce. Very sticky to the touch. Tasted very sweet, sauce made everything sticky..-meats had nice chew, moist tenderness. May have Been lst time for Filipino BBQ sticks or haven't had it for a long time. -no seating. Eating it became a hassle. Wouldn't re-order due to lack of seating. Would eat again if seating available. *Balut is a fertilized developing duck embryo that is boiled or steam. Eaten straight from shell. Considered a delicacy and an aphrodisiac. Had it before. balut is an acquired taste...not for the squeamsih..**May is Asian American Pacific Islander Heritage Month...

If you want to experience an authentic sceneries which we usually does in the Philippines the tusok tusok barbeque style (kebab) this is the place. Food is great, affordable and uhhmmm yummy! . Mind you, better bring cash and experience eating outside in the sun while standing. I am definitely goes on this place, always. TGI saturday and sunday only!

The first bbq stand to sell your Filipino bbq favorites like chicken, pork, hotdogs and they also sell fish balls, kikiam and squidballs. You can even make your own sauces with typical sawsawan ingredients like jufran banana ketchup, datu puti vinegar, maggi seasoning and soy sauce.The owner has to increase the number of chicken bbq on Saturdays and Sundays because it is the most requested. He said only 150 chicken skewers are sold per day. But there are a lot of pork, hotdogs, and other deep fried favorites being sold. It opens from 10am to 2pm, but they sell out.

$1.50 for BBQ pork skewers can't be beat but the meat was a bit dry. Hence the sauces that accompany it.Can't really expect great things but the value is there.

$1.50 for large fresh bbq pork or bbq chicken kabobs every weekend from around 11am -2pm!!!!What more can you ask for??? This is such a bargain. These are done Filipino style where the marinade is kinda sweet. The line is pretty short. Only cash.This is a great casual lunch on a weekend. Nearby are some Filipino restaurants in the Island Pacific supermarket where you can get other Filipino goodies. There is no place to sit really, but with meat on a stick, you can eat anywhere!

Love this stand. Smells so good whenever we happen to go to island pacific on the weekends and the food is so yummy and cheap!! $1.50 for their BBQ sticks, I think $1 for the Filipino hot dogs, and then they have fish balls and lobster balls too for $1. Such a great bang for your buck for these comfort Filipino snacks!!

If you don't speak Tagalog, don't bother coming here. You get better service if you speak Tagalog. The imaginary line to get service is what it is, an imaginary line. While waiting in line, someone from behind me starts speaking Tagalog and gets helped first. I had a lady ask if I was in line and then proceeded to cut me after I told her yes.The bbq (whenever I am able to get them) and the various deep fried options are really tasty but good luck getting BBQ skewers. Every time I go there, ALWAYS a 15-30 minute wait for any skewers. In short, food is tasty--that's why I gave it 2 stars--but service is subpar if you don't speak Tagalog, other customers are rude, and long wait to get skewers.

MEAT ON THE STICKI love to go to fine dining to eat different types of elegant, tasty food yet there are some food that makes me happy such as street food. This place is an example. When I go to visit my cousins at Stockton I go to V Tropical Bakery to buy them bread. I always see this stand outside the bakery. I knew one of these days I would have to try this place on a day when I don't go to Stockton. The last couple of weekends when I'm hungry I come here to buy the BBQ pork sticks. This place specializes in BBQ pork sticks. The portion of these sticks are generous. There is no need for rice. Each cube of BBQ pork has the combination of meat and fat. Yet after eating a BBQ pork stick you won't feel bloated. If you're really hungry I recommend getting 3 BBQ pork sticks. After eating these pork sticks you'll be fully satisfied. I've tried other items such as the hot dog on the stick and deep fried lobster balls. The hot dog comes in a distributing red dye yet it's tasty, but not delicous as the BBQ pork stick. The lobster balls I find tend to be spongy not crispy. I believe it's because these lobster balls are bought frozen at Island Pacific Supermarket. It is because of these two items I can't give this plans a perfect 5-star rating. However you should only go here to get the BBQ pork sticks. These sticks are inexpensive - $1.50 per stick. Get a 2 or 3 sticks and you have yourself a meal for under $5. So if you're not only hungry but also feeling down and out for whatever reason I suggest coming here to eat a BBQ pork stick to make yourself happy.

Fish ball is amazingly fresh $2.22 per stick with 4-5 balls .The squid is $10 only ! Such a steal !!!The bbq stand opens 10:30 am to 6 pm on sat and sun .

BBQ is just right, both chicken and pork.The seafood balls is just right as well.But the people's preparing and serving its customer, play a big role in keeping customer happy and satisfied.
