Food is awesome , plate for share was big enough for 5 adults (and we didn't finish it )
The night we were there was live music
(Pretty loud if you sit by the stage), but if you sit in the back you can have a good conversation and watch people dancing -

warning. do not order your lechon here.
it is no longer from titas. they upcharge you a lechon made from porky's. i talked to the deliverer asking why it was so dry and he gave me the scoop.
it was the driest and tastless pig i have ever had.
do not waste your money or be fooled. it was dry tasteless lechon from porky's that's more expensive.
i would not have ordered if i knew this beforehand and tita's didn't market it as their own -

Tita's I is always our go to for Filipino fast food. They're very generous with the servings and food are really good. Couple Sunday's ago we came here with my family after church instead of Tita's I. We like how you get to order from their menu. The food are great but the restaurant itself was uninviting. As soon as you open the door, you can smell the combination of old rug and seafood. It was very unpleasant. The smell sticks to your clothes as well. :( Maybe we'll order take out next time.
Suggestions to owner: Probably add windows, open the door or update your exhaust system. -

Came on a Saturday evening and it was a lot of fun! We celebrated my mom's birthday here and had a party of 8. No reservations were offered when we called, so we got there early, right before 6pm to claim a big table.
We ordered two platters which was perfect for a big party. The platters had lechon (pork), fried squid, butterfly shrimp, crispy pata (pork), eggplant, fish, and mussels, along with a tomato/onion mixture and other sauces. The platter items were all pretty much fried. We also ordered rice, soup, and two hearty dishes of pancit noodles that had shrimp and veggies. The presentation was nice and the 2 platters were more than enough for the 8 of us. Even was able to bring home some leftovers. I really enjoyed my Royal Orange soda that they serve, reminds me of the Philippines!
The fun part of the night especially started at 8pm when the live band started to play. Filipinos love to dance so the dance floor was constantly full. By 9pm, the whole restaurant was a full house - people eating, drinking alcohol, and dancing!
Service is friendly, but I think they can be more attentive. Our server forgot about our drinks at one point of time, but was apologetic about it. The place is spacious. The cleanliness can be better in my opinion.
Definitely recommend the weekend for a good time -

This place is the quintessential Filipino spot, complete with karaoke. We came on a Sunday at around 6 pm. There was an unattended front desk that we waited at before we just headed on inside, (which I guess is what you're supposed to do).
The restaurant seems to be divided into tables for parties of 4-6, and then into larger parties, for 10+ people. The side of the restaurant which accommodates larger people is right next to speaker system and karaoke. I understand that karaoke is an important part of the restaurant (and the Filipino culture in general lol), but we were seated right in front of the speaker, which made hearing our server very hard.
We ordered the Seafood Platter # 1 (squid, shrimp, mussels, and mahi-mahi), the Meat Platter # 2 (grilled pork, lechon kawali, grilled chicken and pork sisig), Bangus sisig, pork sisig with eggs, and beef kare-kare. It all came with rice.
I thought the Seafood and Meat Platter was great! That would have been enough to feed our party alone. The mussels were delicious. The pork sisig with eggs was great! The texture was crunchy and juicy from the fat. The bangus sisig is a nice pork sisig alternative and is a lot fresher and leaner. The beef kare-kare was alright. Not a lot of beef, but a lot of tripe and fat.
