Manila Foods

★★★☆☆ 2.8 (101) • $

"I Saw this little restaurant from the corner of my eye while I was at Louie's Chinese Restaurant picking up an order. I went and gave them a try. I bought the 1 item Dinaguon with Poncit. I also bought 12 pork lumpia's for $8. The Dinaguon was good but it had just a little more vinegar than I'm used to. The Poncit was good. I would get that again. The lumpia's were disappointing. They are pre packaged lumpia's that you can get in the freezer section at Food 4 Less. The banana lumpia's seems to be why a lot of people go here. I didn't try them. Maybe next time. Please see pictures for pricing and food display."

Pampanga's Bakery

★★★☆☆ 2.7 (58) • $

"We went to a birthday party and the food was catered by Pampanga's Bakery! All I can say is the catered dishes were fresh and delicious! Not too fatty nor greasy like other filipino restaurants.My faves are the:*Kare-Kare*Dinuguan*Pancit Malabon*Lumpiang Shanghai*Chicharon*Sapin-Sapin*Cassava Cake*TuronWe'll definitely try dining at their restaurant whenever we are in the area."

Ellis Creamery

★★★★☆ 4.3 (93)

"You know you're on Filipino turf when the customers in front of you are sassy Filipino aunties with one taking a phone call delving straight into loud gossip dramatics lol. They ordered a bunch of halo-halo drinks.....the drinks looked pretty hefty and if I didn't have to drive right after leaving here I would've most likely gotten one too (darn you 85+ degree weather!).Anyway, I visited here to pick up a 6" ube sans rival cake that I ordered online as well as to grab some ensaymadas.If you don't know what a sans rival cake is, it's a cake with thin meringue layers (they're crispy and chewy.....think of very flattened French macaron shells) covered in buttercream and chopped cashews. In general I'm not the ultimate fan of standard sans rival cakes because the buttercream typically used tastes like straight whipped butter (the polar opposite to super rich American buttercream, which I'm not a fond of either #picky). I love the meringue layers in the cake though and I was hoping that the cake being ube flavored would make it much better. In terms of the particular ube sans rival cake here, the meringue layers were amazing, but the ube taste was unfortunately very subtle.As for ensaymadas, I highly recommend pre-ordering them online because at the time that I visited (Sat afternoon) there were very slim pickings. I should've ordered these ahead of time with the cake but I was lucky in that I still got all of the flavors that I wanted to try. The ensaymadas were pretty good! Dinner-roll soft with zero staleness (Goldilocks, who??). I was caught off guard on the first bite since it was kinda strikingly salty from the cream but after quickly acclimating to the Filipino food palate I was fine lol. I was most surprised on the green tea one.....it wasn't typical green tea but actually legit real matcha! Bold earthy goodness.Overall definitely recommend checking this spot out for Filipino sweets. It's tucked inside the back corner of the National gas station food market and is right off of the 205 freeway!"

Peachy's Food To Go

★★★★★ 4.5 (24)

Sisig & Boba

★★★★☆ 4.3 (157) • $$

"I don't get filipino food that often, but have been craving it for a while now. I'm so glad that I found this spot! Super authentic, yummy; and the workers are so sweet.Pork sisig (5/5): great flavor, the pork is super tender, and the onions add a crunch. I love the pork skin parts.Beef steak (4.5/5): steak is sooo tender, onions are perfectly sweet. The dish is slightly salty but it's meant to be ate with a lot of rice.Pancit palabok (4/5): first time trying this type of pancit. I love the noodles and the slight shrimp flavor. Turon (100/5): this was my first time trying turon and I'm addicted. This was the PERFECT to end off a slightly salty meal.I'm so sad that they didn't have bicol express when I came, but i'll definitely be coming back to try that (and get way more turon)!"

Jeff's Cuisine

★★★★★ 4.7 (256) • $

"Quick, inexpensive, large portions, hospitable, clean. Great place. Jeff is very personable and quick witted. As soon as I walked in the restaurant, I knew the food was going to be good. I ordered the suggested BBQ Pork Plate and it did not disappoint. A pile of delicious pork over fried rice, vegetables and thin noodles. Also, you get 5 Lumpia (like an egg roll) with sweet and sour sauce. I couldn't believe all of that food for only $8 and it was delicious! My son got the Chicken Adobo plate $8 and was extremely impressed. I also picked up a plate of spaghetti for later $7. You can't go wrong with Jeff's Cuisine."

Papa Urb's Grill

"The food was really good and the service was great. Wasn't busy when we came by and the inside is very nice. Not pictured, but the pork adobo was very good too! Really liked this Filipino spot, come check it out. The cascaron was so good too, reminded me of childhood lol."

Dobo's Deli

★★★★☆ 4.2 (6)

"Incredible little hole in the wall in downtown! The inside is so adorable, the staff are as sweet as can be & the food is plentiful and very tasty! My wife & I stopped in for a quick lunch. We ordered the Garlic Peppered Turkey Adobo Sandwich & the Portabella Veggie Burger both with fries. We swapped a half of each and this was probably the best decision I've made all week.The sandwiches were generous with their portions, the fries crisp & the side of ranch was great too! We can't wait to go back & try all of the sandwiches now!"

"Amazing! I could eat the whole box myself and the prices are very reasonable! We go on special occasions or just when we need a sweet fix. The staff is very nice as well."

Gings Chicharon

★★★★★ 4.8 (4)

"Did take out on a Saturday.. got 2 2-item and 1 1-item: All had the home cooked flavor.. dinuguan could be less oily and chicharon could be cheaper but it was all good! Pls support local! Had Sinigang, chicken curry, pork bbq, pinakbet and kare kare.."

Cora at Roseburg Square

★★★★☆ 4 (88) • $$

"Yesterday, twelve of us arrived at Cora for their new brunch menu.I had the foresight to call ahead as 12-people is quite a bit.When we arrived our table was set and we were off. A round of the delicious spicy bloody Mary's served with candied, jalapeno bacon as well as their in house made pumpkin butter coffee was a great start!As far as the group, I cannot recall what was ordered. I, however, ordered "who you calling chicken." George's (Chef, owner) spin on chicken fried steak.Oh my! Melt in your mouth although crispy and light! The gravy, is like honey to a bee... cannot get enough! I also order a short stack. The cakes had a crispy edge and the perfect pillow texture throughout!I order both knowing I could not complete them at the time, and what a great dinner it made later.Food, drinks, service, spot on! No rush, no nonsense and down to earth cooking from the heart.I especially like that both owners, chefs, (George and Alicia) find time to visit with their guest!You looking for your next go to spot and for any meal or just smooth tasting alcohol while watching a game, this is it!Do like I, enjoy brunch... order two plates, eat all day!"

Casa Pinoy

★★★★☆ 4.1 (9)

"Really good food, friendly service, and reasonable prices! They were stationed at a local brewery and I really wanted some lumpia. Ordered a skewer kabob combo plate and three orders of lumpia(shared with friends). The kabobs had great flavor and the lumpia was crunchy and piping hot. The combo plate came with macaroni salad and rice. My husband and I shared and I wish I had ordered my own plate."

Aki's Food To Go & Oriental Grocery

★★★★☆ 3.5 (70) • $

"Came back for some more Lumpia's. A neighbor showed us this place and yea they are good. I have not tried any other food they make here but I can definitely vouch for the lumpia's this was our 2nd time stopping in we usually grab a few dozens and their gone within minutes"

Tracy Harbour Fish & Chips

★★★★☆ 3.8 (280) • $

"I have only found fish n chips the way i like it in Tracy. Not sure if this is what used to be Ladds in town. Anyway, it's cool because a filipino family now owns it and they have favs from the Phil Isles. I grew up on this style of hand battered cod. No beer batter or Gordons fish planks here. Any time i am going through Tracy i try to visit."

Bubba's

Best Lumpia

★★★★☆ 3.6 (582) • $$

"I was craving something different for lunch and happened to be in the area today. Stopped by and ordered a 20 piece shrimp lumpia pack. 15 minute wait, not bad at all for the yumminess that was coming. While I waited inside for my order the music being played in the restaurant was nice and made the wait go by so fast. Upon arrival of my order they came out fresh and crispy. The hostess/cashier was very nice as well. Long story short , the lumpia was delicious full of flavor and crunchiness. Sauce was good. I added sriracha because I like it spicy and I'll definitely return sooner than later."

Ling Nam Express

★★★★☆ 4.1 (43) • $

"Yo! This senorita is fire! Fresh and hot from the oven. Not too sweet and has the puff/rise inside that I was looking forward biting into. Yes, it's buttery--if you don't know what a senorita bread is, this is definitely a place to buy from! You will not be disappointed!"

Fusion Kusina

★★★☆☆ 3.1 (9)

"Thai food truck is a gem here in Stockton. The owner is super friendly and helpful when you are trying to decide what to eat, and there are so many options to choose from! I highly recommend the cream cheese lumpia (they're bigger than any lumpia I've ever had). The food is fresh and hot too! I will definitely be back for more"

Sisig & Boba

★★★★☆ 4.2 (42)

"Squid adobo 5/5. Tender and flavor was very good.Pork and tofu sisig. 4/5. Pork very tender as well and still gets some skin thats crunchy. A bit on sweet side. Very cheap 10 bucks for two item combo. Milk tea was okay. Got the thai green milk tea. Very sweet and heavy on milk. Little to no te taste. Boba was overcooked. 2/5"

Row’s Roll

★★★★☆ 3.5 (36) • $$

"Overall I would rate this experience 2.5/5 The service was quick. 4/5The food was very MID. 2/5I ordered the adobo wings that came with two lumpia, and an egg. The adobo wings were decent, but they are not adobo. Decent flavor, juicy, but nothing to tell the world about. The lumpia (I got chicken lumpia) was the thinnest lumpia I've ever seen! I have eaten at many Filipino spots and I've never seen it this thin. It was LITERALLY the size of a small sharpie. The flavor was decent, but nothing spectacular. The picture shows the meal coming with a boiled egg, I was served a fried egg. If you're serving a fried egg, always ask the patron how they want it cooked. Other than that too much rice for the protein received. The price of this meal was $17, entirely too expensive for 6 small wings, 2 nearly pencil thin lumpia, 1 egg and rice. That should be $13 max.For reference, 2 of their lumpia would equal one lumpia Shanghai at any other Filipino establishment.I wanted to like this place because I absolutely LOVE Filipino food, but this isn't it."

The Blessed Kitchen

★★★★☆ 3.6 (83)

"My go to quick food pick up when I've got nothing to cook for lunch and dinner. I have also ordered party trays here and let me tell you, they are delish! I used to drive to Stockton to get my Turon amd when I found out they have some here they became my go to big order of Turon esp during family gathering. Every Fridays and Saturday they offer Goat Kaldereta. Now I don't eat goat, but my hubs loved it. I also tried their Laing (Taro leaves in coconut milk) and I cleaned plate with it. I am very picky with my Laing esp when I grew up eating my Lola's cooking (She's Bicolana) and theirs were actually tasty. Definitely will get a bigger order next time they have it again. Friendly Titas serving you quick and tasty food. Calling in to put in party tray orders were also prompt and have it ready for you fresh and yummy every pick up. They have a row of table and chairs if you decide to dine in, but can be packed during lunch rush hours. Definitely a go to spot for my filipino food fares."

Papa Urb's Grill - Tracy

★★★★☆ 4.3 (926) • $$

"It's been awhile since I've eaten here and I'm happy to report that the food is still delicious!The sisig fries are still my favorite thing to order. I've noticed they added crispy sweet potato on top. The fries are thin and crispy and the sisig is juicy. And all the sauces plus the sweet potato make it a well-composed dish that's full of flavor. The sisig empanadas were pretty good! The dough was bread-y, in a good way, because it wasn't too thick. And it was stuffed with sisig. I liked the bit of heat from their hot sauce, which I think is sriracha. One order comes with 2 empanadas that are cut in half. It's definitely a shareable item. We also got the pancit, to my surprise also comes with lumpia. I like the mix of egg and glass noodles. It had a lot of veggies so this is a good way to eat your veggies lol. We also got lychee calamansi refresher, which was refreshing even on a mild winter day. There's not much seating inside, probably around 6 seats total. But it seems most people order online for pick up. We did dine in and got our food pretty quickly. And service was great! They made sure we were well taken care of. I'm so glad Papa Urb's has survived the pandemic. It's one of the few unique restaurants in Tracy. They're also right off the freeway so it's easy to get to if you're on a road trip. Though, parking there is horrendous. It's next to In n Out, so it can get really crowded, especially since it's a narrow driveway. And the McDonald's construction doesn't help either. It might be easier to park across the street and walk over."
