Tasty Filipino fusion food. Really flavorful comfort food overall, although not everything was perfect.
Cali Burrito -- delicious; the meats (seared pork belly and pulled chicken) were well seasoned and juicy, and the tortilla had a nice pan-fried crisp. Only negative...where was the avocado?
Flip-n-out Burger -- this definitely reminded me of In-n-Out. Very simple burger, but it worked well and was delicious.
Sinigang Flip Bowl -- the short rib was great, but I'm pretty sure we didn't have garlic fried rice in our bowl and instead got coconut rice. Decent bowl, but not that standout. The ingredients didn't seem to gel together as well as I'd hoped; nothing bad, but ingredients seemed to be very distinct as I was eating it (just felt like rice with some beef and some veggies, as opposed to a special bowl...hard to explain in words).
Tacos -- we got the bi-curious with short rib and fresh catch. The short rib taco was the same meat as the Sinigang Flip Bowl (yum). The fish was okay, but there are better fish tacos out there. The chicharrones topping added a nice crunch.
Ube macapuno ice cream -- ube flavor is good but slightly on the light side, but I really liked the shredded coconut in the ice cream; it was a good combination. Texture of the ice cream was a little bit on the harder side.
It seems there's a super duper secret menu here too. I tried asking about some secret menu items I really wanted to try (based on pictures I've seen), but that wasn't good enough as I didn't know the exact names of the dish. Too bad.
If I figure out some of the secret menu names, I'd definitely be interested in coming back soon to try those.
