Kusinero Del Barrio - San Vicente

We passed by a few times in the days leading up to our visit, and the owner always greeted us warmly. His friendliness and the low prices finally convinced us to give the place a try. Unfortunately, the food turned out to be quite mediocre. The pasta was small, the potatoes were dry, and the burgers were very small. Moreover, with four people at our table and the restaurant being empty, the wait time felt almost endless.

We walked in and were immediately struck by the vibrant atmosphere that made us feel right at home. The food was a delightful medley of flavors and expertly prepared. The tuna tagalog sauce was rich and delicious. We made a minor mistake by forgetting to request the tuna rare in the middle; it’s traditionally cooked through in Filipino cuisine, which can detract from the flavor—so that was on us! The service was exceptional, and the staff felt like a happy family, with everyone from grandparents to little grandchildren present. We have included the menu, our bill, and plenty of photos. I highly recommend this place. We absolutely loved it!

Nice Filipino restaurant with a couple of decent vegetarian options.

Great ambiance and delicious food! The fish curry was excellent. For a dine-in lunch, the price per person ranged from ₱200 to ₱400. I would rate the food, service, and atmosphere all a perfect 5 out of 5!

For lunch, I ordered the Chicken Adobo with pineapple and mango, along with the pancit canton featuring chicken. Both dishes were packed with flavor and expertly prepared. The mix of sweet pineapple and mango with the savory chicken adobo offered a delightful twist on a traditional favorite. For dessert, I tried the cinnamon crepes drizzled with honey and chocolate, which were an ideal finale to the meal. The crepes were warm and tender, and the blend of sweet honey and rich chocolate was simply divine. Although I can't comment on the ambiance, since I only visited for lunch, I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone seeking delicious food in the area.
