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."

Best Lumpia

"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."

Tracy Harbour Fish & Chips

"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."

"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!"

"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."

"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!"

"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!"
