This is not a brick-and-mortar business. It operates out of a tent with no consistent schedule. Sometimes the owners are there serving home‑cooked food—but when I visited, no one was there. I recommend calling the listed number before going so you don’t waste your time. Because I couldn’t try any food and due to the uncertainty of finding them at this location, I’m giving this business one star.
We thoroughly enjoyed the Filipino cuisine. The beefsteak, chicken adobo, BBQ pork, pancit, and lumpia were all delicious. The Ube flan was a standout dessert.
I decided to stop at the Rootz Kava Lounge and there was a food tent outside selling Filipino food. Of course we had to try it! We were amazed at their friendliness and the food was amazing! It was freshly made in front of us and didn't take long at all! I tried their chicken adobo, beef, and noodles. I loved it, will definitely be back next time they come! Great Filipino food and I'd definitely recommend it if you want good food on a Sunday afternoon
