Cafe Colma

Finally, I had a chance to try out Cafe Colma. It feels sacrilegious that I haven't been in this Filipino staple since I came to America in the late 90's. We have just arrived in SFO. Hungry, I would not let this opportunity pass. Arrived at Lucky Chances late night, and the casino is still popping. We only had to wait about 10 minutes for our party of six. I have been craving Tapsilog, so that what I ordered. We had Pinakbet, Nilagang Baboy, and some Deep Fried tofu to share with everyone. Unfortunately, they only had Nilagang Bangus left so we had that instead. My Tapsilog is straight to the point: delicious beef, proper garlic rice, and egg cooked to my liking. The fried tofu was surprisingly yummy as well. And the Pinakbet and Nilaga? Well its as good as any home cooked Filipino meal. Overall we were satisfied with our dinner and I am glad that I finally checked off Cafe Colma off my list.

You're not here for 5 star service but the food is drunchies personified. It has a old school diner ambiance and a great spot to go even at 2 am for some of the best Filipino food in the nation.Highly recommend: kare kare, lechon kawali, pork adobo

Cafe Colma has been on my list of restaurants to try at least once for a while now, and we finally pulled the trigger and came in a group of 5 on a Saturday evening around 11pm. Despite the late hour, there was a sizable line outside, and we probably waited for around 30-40 minutes to get a table after putting our name down on the list. It's really packed in here, and super busy, with barely any space inbetween tables; a real old school dinner vibe.We got a lot of food to share, all of which was great, comforting food; be warned that rice comes in pretty large portions, and typically I would probably only half of one order here. -Tortang Talong ($15.95): large portion, and reasonably priced, this was pretty good!-Tapsilog ($18.95): Good garlic rice, runny sunny side eggs, though the meat portion was on the smaller sideLechon Kawali ($21.95): SUPER fatty, hot and crispy, this is great as long as you don't mind the fatty pieces; I usually enjoy it, but a good number of pieces were ALL fat, no meat at all. Sinigang Pork Spareribs ($19.95): this is VERY sour and pretty salty, so be warned. Good way to get some veggies in though, and the pork spareribs were nice and tenderGinataang Bilo Bilo ($9.95): nice creamy, coconutty dessert, but a lot of starchy sweet potato/taro bits, we would've preferred more sagoTuron a la mode ($12.95): this was great, though not sure why it's called a la mode since there's Overall, a good place to get some of the classic dishes if you're craving it at odd hours, since this place is 24/7, but be ready to wait a long time to get seated and get your food. Food is a little on the pricier side and I don't see myself coming here often other than the odd day I have a very specific craving in the middle of the night.

We decided to come here for dinner after car shopping with our friend on auto row nearby. We parked in the underground parking garage and took the elevator up to the main floor of the casino where the cafe is located. We were led to a nice booth by the window- you get a view of the outdoor parking lot. The cafe offers Filipino & Chinese cuisine. The three of us shared-* Kare kare - very tasty in a thick stewy sauce. It was hard to distinguish the oxtail stew meat if it wasn't still on the bone. * lechon - excellent pork belly. The skin was very crispy and good amount of pork to fat. * BBQ pork chow fun - great wok umami. It was our friend's first time eating here. She enjoyed everything. Service was friendly and efficient.

Iykyk this place is a Bay Area staple. I've been to this place so many times and it just crossed my mind, why haven't I reviewed this place yet lol. I came in and ordered the Bansilog combo with tapa as my meat option. The food here is decent. It definitely hits the spot after a night out. The service here comes and goes depending on the day. On most days I've been here, I've received satisfactory service. This restaurant is located inside a casino and the parking can be rough depending what time you visit.All in all this place is one my go to spots after a night out in the city. Try it out if you like!

Happened to be in the area and stopped by for another hearty breakfast. The eggs on longanisa dish was a feast for the eyes (and the stomach) and the lonsilog combo platter was also very tasty. Food was served very quickly which was perfect as we didn't have very much time to visit. Never ending coffee refills was also amazing. Overall cozy spot to come and enjoy some Filipino comfort food!

If you're craving Filipino food--and just about everything else--they've got it! Open late at night with plenty of parking, it's the perfect spot to satisfy your hunger anytime.

Thank you for always being open!!!On late hours after a flight, concert, show, movie, happy hour or just being hungry around the area, this place is a good stop before heading home. Comforting filipino food always. Kare Kare good although I would love it more with tripeKaldereta was also goodSisig ok in taste but did not taste like sisig hahaha it's more like chopped pork barbecueTocilog - this was surprisingly the worse tocilog I've had. It was ok I guess but the meat did not taste like tocino at all. It's like in between tocino and tapa. It wasn't as sweet as tocino should be and the texture felt like beef tapa but thicker. The fried rice and egg was good thoughService is always good! Ambait ni ate!Halo Halo and Turon - I didn't get to taste them but seemed good since there weren't any leftovers

This used to be a cool place to eat.The food was great. The food is noticeably different. It was more more special before and not so common.The prices were great. The service is still great . Thanks to the Pilipino and Kapampangan hospitality. It can get loud sometimes especially when there is a party.

this place is inside Lucky Chances cafe and it is a time capsule of such a homey, 90s diner vibe all from the upholstery on the bar seats, carpet design, music, to the tita's' serving uniforms. this was my first time at cafe colma and it definitely won't be my last - we went in and i saw a mix of both older, younger, and family crowds so i knew this place was a SPOT. as soon as we walked in a server spotted us halfway across the dining area and waved us over to be sat in a 2-person booth immediately. She tossed the menus down at us without saying hi back to me, but honestly couldn't even be mad i was excited to have real filipino food for the first time in a while. we got the bangusilog (milk fish) and tapsilog and just under 8 minutes later the food came out. i devoured the shit in like half that time and my tummy kinda hurt still ngl. but ts was sooo good we even got dessert at the end. he got turon with ube ice cream and i got ginataang bilo bilo (think of a warm dessert stew of tapioca pearls, glutinous rice balls, langka, and taro bits suspended in a condensed milk-like stew...but it's not that sweet!!). i couldn't finish my ginataang but the 2 pieces of turon that nate got were about damn near as long as my forearm. unfortunately they have him the wrong flavor ice cream (mango instead of ube) but he didn't care and it was still good all the samedefinitely coming back with a group next time
