Letrecia A. "This place is heaven. All you smell are the aromatic ingredients in this establishment. I tasted the food soon as I opened the car door. So at first the my family had decided to eat at wing stop. But while walking through the parking lot, I had a change of heart. ( I don't like wingstop anyway).The pictures on the way were even delicious. I ordered the lamb and it was fire. Just the right hint of spice. Everything paired well with each other. While waiting on my order I decided to go on a shopping spree. All the healing herbs were here at this location. Love me some neem, and now I have plenty. Thanks so much for the great food, herb selections and fanominal customer service."

Jerome L. "Good Filipino food in Loma Linda. The kaldereta kanding (goat stew) is a must have as the goat is soft and chewy and real easy to eat. Chicken adobo is good just like any other restaurant. The bangus was so dry but tasted great. If you like fairly priced Filipino food then Mang Indo will satisfy you. To feed my wife and I only cost $30 for two scoops and two entrees each plus a canned soda."

I called my order in advance and they had a large order for 10 ready in about 40 minutes. Friendly customer service when picking up. Was offer a free sample or Chia tea while waiting to pick up. They also didn't charge us for two orders of plain rice. Food was warm when I got it back and the flavor, Wow! The food was fresh and very tasty. Order 3 types of naan bread, chicken tikka masala, lamb curry, chili chicken and orders of plain rice. Highly recommend coming to this hidden gem. You will not regret it.

This is one of those market stores with a cafeteria-type deli where you can get hot food. I was not actually intending to have lunch that day, but I randomly drove past this place on my way to get gasoline for a long trip, and I did not regret my choice to stop by!Inside is a perfectly functional market that I briefly perused, which had many different Filipino goods that I didn't quite recognize. Seemed solid, but I can't say much about the market part.The hot food was very affordable and very fast (it's cafeteria-style, so they just scoop it up in front of you). A two-item combo is pretty cheap, around mid-single digits (forgot the exact price). I got the beef picadillo and the laing.First, they give you a lot of food. Second, it's tasty! The picadillo and the laing were both very tasty but different, the picadillo more savory and the laing, as a coconut milk dish, was sweeter - so they complemented each other well. I found the white rice somewhat moist, but some people like it that way. I actually personally don't like white rice that much (it wrecks my digestive system like when two of those giant warehouse trucks try to use the local highway exit at once), so I can't really comment on rice texture. That being said, the rice faithfully served its purpose and duty in soaking up the (very good!) flavors of the dishes and giving them substance.They didn't have dine-in at the time (COVID blah blah blah), but there's perfectly fine tables/seats outside. Parking is typical strip mall parking, which means it's easy even if you're a criminally incompetent driver like me. Definitely recommended if you want a very fast, tasty, cheap, very filling meal that you can take away easily. The amount of options (which you can look at select) also makes this a great place if you're indecisive on what you want to eat.

Wendy B. "Just Wow. This small business is a testament to the welcomed diversity that has embraced our bedroom community in recent years. We now have a small grocery that specializes in imported African Caribbean foods. While small, they are worthy of a visit. You will find a small offering of fresh vegetables, many canned goods, and two standing freezers filled with frozen foods (meats, fish, starches, sauces, and even Ghana chocolate). If you are not familiar with this cuisine, the best thing you could do is launch into a conversation with the owner, a lovely woman whose name I promptly forgot upon leaving. My apologies. She is hoping to expand and offer cooking classes in the future.The foods are quite carb laden making it difficult for someone like me with dietary restrictions to actually experience them. Rice and beans are a common ingredient. There is quite a variety of bulk dried herbs and exotic mixed seasonings that give their food their unique character. They do like their food on the hot and spicy side.The store is located in a nondescript strip mall with plenty of parking. The good thing is, there has recently been a notable revival of this property, a number of small, one of a kind, international businesses starting up here. The list of non-chain restaurants who are renting small spaces here are worthy of checking out as well, our favorite being the Peruvian restaurant a few doors down. Let this be an Adventure!"
