Visited Berto's to beat this summer heat and left feeling satisfied. The workers are very friendly and polite. The place was bright and airy as well. We ordered their Halo-Halo, Palabok and their Berto's Fried Chicken. Halo-Halo (5/5) is hands down the best summer dessert. It's so refreshing and had the perfect blend of sweetness and creaminess. They added the perfect amount of ube ice cream, caramel flan and a mixture of jelly, red beans and sugar palm fruit at the bottom. It's a must-try treat. Palabok (2/5) was okay. It was a bit dry and not as saucy as we would've preferred. It could use some chicharron (pork rinds). There's not much protein in this meal other than the boiled egg which was a let-down. We also noticed that some of the noodles have crisped up as well which must've been from the heat lamp/steam table. The dish could use some shrimp and topped with some fried garlic chips. Berto's Fried Chicken (5/5) was delicious. It was fresh, tender and juicy. It had the right amount of seasoning that didn't make it overwhelmingly salty. The garlic fried rice and fried eggs were a great combination with chicken. Any of their breakfast items have always been good. read more

I have given Berto's a very good review 2 years ago but today I will give them 3 stars only. I've called them to ask what's in their menu today but the one who answered my call who said her name was Tiffany doesn't want to provide what they have today. She was rude and said to me to just drop by and see for myself. We are from downtown TO and go to Berto just to eat or take out (mostly) but if you get a rude answers to a valid question, di ba nakaka turned off. read more

Cute little restaurant spot that has premade mains thats heated with a basin. I believe they cook throughout the day and replenish it every now and then. Overall, good selection of filipino dishes. Hard to really know what they were but staff is willing to explain each dish if needed. Choice between one or two meats with rice for a decent price just above $10. Also have all day breakfast with garlic rice, fried egg and a slice of tomato + cucumber + a raisin. Sort of cute. Beef Pares Silog 5/5 - definitely can see why its a popular dish. - garlic rice was very fragrant and heavy on the garlic which was delicious for me, fried garlic provided that aroma that made the dish very good - eggs were well cooked, yolk was oozing giving it a nice creamy texture to the rice and extra 'sauce' - not overly salty dish either - beef was tender, small chunks but very fragrant in soy sauce and sweetness, good balance of garlic in the sauce but not overpowering which can happen Dinner meals 4/5 - had the squid which was nice, seasoning was very standard and you can taste the squid shine on its own, a bit one noted for this dish but overall enjoyable if you like the soy + squid combination with a hint of acidity - the other dish was a beef + tomatoey sauce with some veggies, i'm sorry to say i dont remember what it was but flavours were well blended and beef was tender, would go for this again if i can choose! Halo Halo 4/5 - flan on top was delicious, creamy and smooth but I was told to mix it all together, honestly wouldve been happy to just eat the flan! - ube ice cream was coconutty which I anticipated, the ube notes are present but I think overall ube is hard to really stand out - somewhat on the sweet side but not overpowering - jackfruit bits were great for texture, beans and such at the bottom was present and provided a good amount - decent price for what its worth, very pretty for pictures! Overall would come back for a quick meal thats relatively cheap! Good value for sure. My filipino friend approves. WOuld love to try their kamayan! read more

Found it by accident as a nearby place was closed for that day. We decided to try it out as it had 4 stars on Yelp. Upon entering the place, one can see lots of seating area with a hot food counter for take-out (I believe). We noticed most of the people there were Filipinos, so it must be legit right? They had an all day breakfast menu which is deceiving for non-Filipino people. I ordered a milk fish dish which I didn't realized it was going to be fried. You order first and then they'll bring your food according to the number. Serve your own water. The fried rice was no fried rice at all. The broth had a nice peppery taste to it which came first. And a sad piece of cucumber and tomato. Obviously more veggies would be nice. We saw what other customers ordered and it appeared better. They also have combo platters with lots of meat and/or seafood, starting at $32. Somehow you need to get a key to go to their single washroom. Not a place I would go back. read more

A small fast-food-like Filipino joint near my area. Ive drove past it many many times but never knew what it was until i found their yelp page. When you walk in, ull see a big hot plate counter in the front, just like the ones u see at a grocery store. And thats their offerings for the night. They also have a few things on the menu. I was a little confused walking up to check out as I wasnt sure what I want and they had no intention of recommending me anything as if i knew what everything was. There were no labels, or if there was, i still would know what those dishes were. So i went for something with pictures. We ordered: Berto's Combi Platter (aka Combo #1) includes: Squid Beef skewers Chicken skewers Pork belly Fish Shrimp Egg plant Mango salad Fried rice Soup After ordering, you can seat yourself as u like, and they will bring the food to you. They also have a condiment table so its ure missing some siracha, ull know where to find it. The descriptions said this combo was good for 2-4 people. My mom and I definitely down ALL OF IT. And she was like, if we brought two more friends if wouldnt have been enough. In which i agree, the portion would be small for 4 people. Really liked the variety in this platter, it reminded me of kamayan,but the pork belly was waaaay too dry almost hard like a rock. The platter also came out luke warm, so after i had a skewer, the rest of the food was cold already. Id still come back to try some authentic sinigang, thats what i heard the people behind me was ordering. They seemed like they know what everything was lol read more

Their kamayan boxes are good value, but the flavors were lacking. Yummy garlic rice but the chicken could have used more balanced flavor and was a bit tough, the fish (fried tilapia, stuffed boneless milkfish) was just ok, bland. Lots of protein in the boxes though! Note their seafood ones don't have squid, shrimps etc anymore as shown in previous pictures. read more

Berto's - Seafood combo platter with pork replaced by chicken. - Filipino Near Me - Mississauga, Ontario

Mmmm! This place serves some tasty kamayan feast food! We came to celebrate my aunt's birthday, and she really had a craving to try a kamayan feast. However, we didn't want to travel all the way to Toronto for Tinuno and so were delighted to find that Berto's in Mississauga serves combi platters, which are essentially very similar! We reserved a table and ordered two combi platter #1s in advance. When we got there at 6:30pm, our platter was already ready. Unfortunately, not all members of our party were present so we had to wait until 6:50pm for the platter to be served. As such, by the time the platter was served, some of the skewers and meats had already cooled. The food came with a serving of soup for everyone, and the soup tasted interestingly like the broth you find in pho. There was an overwhelming flavour of cinnamon and cloves. I'm certain that there was a ton of MSG in the soup though, as we were all dying of thirst after. The combi platter #1 came with a stuffed squid (filled with minced tomatoes and red onion), smoked milkfish, some pickled shredded papaya, mango salad, two skewers of chicken, two pork skewers, some roasted lechon and pork char siu, and four shrimp. I absolutely loved the squid and milkfish! The smokey flavour of the fish was very prominent, and the outside skin and extremities were delightfully crispy. The grilled shrimp was also delicious - my shrimp was grilled to the point where I was able to consume everything as it was so crispy. Overall, the food was delightful, and even better was the fried rice! The garlic flavour was very fragrant. Berto's had made a slight mistake and thought that we had only ordered one platter for six people, and so they had to rush to prepare our second platter. As such, when the second arrived, the fish, squid, and rice were much hotter than the ones served before. As a result of the heat, the fried rice was also slightly mushier and wetter, but nevertheless just as tasty! The second squid (unpictured) was also significantly larger in size, and the second platter came with two slices of salted egg (they had missed that order in the previous platter). The two combi platter #1s were more than enough to feed six people, and the food was surprisingly good! We will definitely come again to sample the other food - particularly the halo halo! The dessert is without doubt one of Berto's signature dishes, as almost everyone passing through the restaurant ordered one! read more

I'm giving it 2 out of 5 stars. Wife and I drove here for 30 mins, yes we live far from this place but we wanted yo try their beef pares. So we got there and ordered 2 of them. Price was $10.50, andfor that price and i was as expecting good meal and good servings. I was disappointed that the serving was so small. The picture below says it all. It was served to us in a small container and half full, not only that, the beef pares was served to us cold. I talked to the employee about it and they quickly resolved the issue by putting our beef pares to the microwave. I know it because the container was warm when they brought it back to out table. Will only go back here if I am in the area but will not drive here for 30 mins again just for them. read more

Order & pay for your food at the counter. Then find yourself a table! I was there on a weekday night around 6pm, it started to get busy at 6:30! We ordered their combi platter 1, comes with rice, grilled skewers, roasted pork, stuffed grilled squid, shrimps, smoke whole fish, mango salads, and eggplants. It was definitely enough for the 4 people to share! Love the roasted pork, crispy skins! Grilled squid is missing some flavours, its stuffed with tomatoes, onion and herbs. The smoke whole fish is delicious, no bones, definitely a plus if you have children! Skewers have great flavour but they did overcook it abit, hence i didnt give perfect rating. I'll definitely come back for a 2nd round! read more

Very good filipino food at a decent price! Sometimes when I'm not home, I just crave some good home cooked filipino food - and this place definitely delivers that - home away from home! I definitely like this place more than others as the price is more reasonable. The garlic fried rice is perfect and always hits the spot with the fried egg and its yolky goodness. They have lots of sauces there to go along with the dishes - my personal favorite is the spicy garlic vinegar (this actually runs out fairly quick). The atmosphere is nice - very clean and the employees are really friendly. They also do catering! read more

We ordered takeout by phone while we on the way. the person who took our order told us it will take 1 hour ( we are 20 min away) but we decided we want to try it tonight so we went to home depot while waiting for the time. Once we reach the place, we realize the place look cozy. We will definitely dine in once we are allowed. The ambience was nice and the place sparkling clean. Once we pick up our order, we headed home. For the price $40.60 after tax for combi 1 platter, it was not bad. The pork bbq skewer was cooked well and the sauce was amazing compare with seafood city's( a bit hard to chew). The only regret was the fried rice was hard and bland compare to tinuno (toronto) and not worth $3 extra that we paid. We will order again next time but without substituting fried rice. read more

Berto's - Combi platter #2 - Filipino Near Me - Mississauga, Ontario

I came here here about 2 weeks ago as my cousins and I were looking for a good place to take my grandfather to for brunch. We were looking forward to a good Filipino silog meal (basically garlic rice, eggs and meat) since it had been a while that we'd had this kind of meal for brunch. I like the simple cafe layout of this restaurant. You go up to the counter to order your food from any of the hot plate offerings or order off their made to order menu - either way, the prices are reasonable for the portions that you get. Then, they'll bring the orders to you at your table when it's ready. I also like the cute traditional Filipino details around the restaurant such as artifacts and photos on the wall and corner by the register, as well as the wooden cutlery displays and woven bowls on the other walls where the tables are. In terms of food, the garlic soup that came with each of the silog dishes was tasty and comforting in this cold winter weather. My husband's order was made up of longanisa (Filipino sausage), sunny side up eggs and garlic rice. I ordered the tapsilog which was slices of marinated beef with sunny side up eggs and garlic rice. My cousins got the same orders, while my grandpa ordered a bowl of what is essentially the Filipino version of congee. I thought the garlic rice was decent. The longanisa was good (a bit hard to mess this up though to be honest) but the beef was a bit disappointing. I personally prefer tender slices of beef - this was a bit chewy for my liking. It may have had to do with the pieces of beef being a bit thick rather than sliced into smaller, thinner pieces. I also would have liked the marinade to be a bit stronger since it had just a hint of that flavour - it might have needed to sit in the marinade a bit longer. Again, this is all personal preference. All in all, a decent meal for the price paid and I was glad that we dined here since it had been on my list of places to try for some time. I might come back here with family to try the combi platters, which look pretty much the same as the kamayan feasts that have become popular in other Toronto Filipino restaurants. read more

Definitely one of the better Filipino restaurants in Mississauga, if not THE best Filipino restaurant in Mississauga. Located at the northeast corner of Dundas Street West and Erindale Station Road (it's in the plaza where Rose Bakery is), there's a decent amount of parking and this place is easy to find (the restaurant faces Dundas Street W). My parents and I visited on a Friday evening and were pleasantly surprised by, a) the variety of the menu, b) how very clean and modern the space was (you feel comfortable here), and c) that the food was quite good and well-prepared! Here's how it works: you walk in, grab a table, order at the front, pay, and they bring you the food when it's ready. Our food took about 15 minutes to prepare. We ordered a variety of the 'silog' dishes (around $8.00 each), which are prepared meals traditionally served at breakfast. We ordered the 'Tapsilog' (marinated beef strip 'tapa'), 'Daingsilog' (fried fish), and 'Tocilog' (sweet cured chicken and pork), which were all served with delicious garlic fried rice, fried egg, and picked veggies. All were delicious - if you're new to Filipino food, start off with the Tapsilog. The beef was soaked in delicious marinade and paired deliciously with the fried rice. Portions were above-average in size (better than other Filipino restaurants in the area). Prices are average. Service is nice and friendly. They also have a hot table at the front for take-out. For drinks, we also ordered the 'Sago at Gulaman' ($3.00), which my cousins and I always joke as the Filipino bubble tea. It's basically a sweet cold drink full of brown sugar, tapioca and various jellies. I found Berto's Sago way too sweet, but the jellies were soft and super fresh. My parents and I will definitely be back. Note that there aren't many tables (the place seats around 20 people total), so perhaps not the best for really big groups. For 4 'Silog' dishes and 2 drinks, with tax, and tip, we paid around $48.00. read more

Passed by this place and decided to try it - a great deal! The picture attached was about $30. It usually comes with pork belly, but since we don't eat pork, we asked if we could substitute it for anything and they were very generous and switched out anything pork for chicken skewers. The presentation is beautiful and tasted just as good, even as takeout. We saw the Kamayan feast pictures in restaurants in Toronto and were pleasantly surprised that we could get this in Mississauga and in takeout form too! Bertos is located in a strip mall and there's a cute bakery right next door. read more

Contrary, to what most people think, I am not Filipino. So as I entered, the other diners present + the cashier appeared a bit confused as I had quite a few questions about the menu. Silog - This is what I ordered for takeout. These are rice dishes that you're supposed to eat for breakfast. The Beef Pares (chunks of brisket) that I ordered really reminded me of the broken rice dishes, complete with the fried egg, that you get at Vietnamese restaurants, BUT the ones at Berto's came with garlic fried rice (really good!) and stewed meat instead of something grilled. The brisket itself was very similar to Chinese five-spices beef brisket, although it seemed to be cooked with a bit more care as beef was a nice reddish-brown colour, pieces were cut smaller, more evenly, and there was many a coupla different spices used. Meat was very tender. Portion was sizeable, I couldn't finish it all. Came to about $9 'n change. Good home cooking. Interior: Although it's not in the nicest strip mall, I was impressed by the interior of the restaurant. Owners did a really good job to sorta remind you that you're in the somewhat rundown John Anderson plaza! Since it's an indie in my area, I'll definitely go back, probably not for pancit (I never crave this), but probably the soup noodle dishes &/or the desserts! read more

I dropped in tonight to satiate a craving for Flilipino poods. My order was small consisting of Pancit Bihon and Garlic Rice. It was an almost full house when I got there. Service was fast and friendly. This is only my first visit and it won't be my last. I really enjoyed my Pancit. It was very delicious. The Garlic Fried rice was yummy too. I still want to try their Log dishes. They sound so appealing. I have to say that the restaurant was clean and the decor was nice. Kudos to the girls at the front counter. Plenty of parking too. It is located at the south east corner of Dundas and Erindale Station. Bookmark this place and try out the Flip Noodles. Peace out Yelpers! Thanks to Steph for the Intel on this place. read more

Berto's - Seafood platter - Filipino Near Me - Mississauga, Ontario

Whats included in these meals is that they all come with a beef broth as a starter. It was very flavourful, but reminded me of the beef broth from the Nissan instant noodles. The meats are then served on top of a garlic fried rice (sinangag), and eggs (itlog). Usually the egg comes sunny side up. We requested the eggs to be cooked through, and the cashier looked at us funny but obliged at our weird request anyways. For our lunches (breakfasts), we ordered the beef pares silog, tosilog, and the longsilog. The beef pares is a beef brisket, which was very tender, but my complaint is that the pieces were too small. I guess maybe it's because it helps the beef cook down faster that way? The tosilog, had tocino, pieces of fried pork. Kind of reminded me of a cross between a pork chop and pork jerky. There was a bit of sweetness in it as well. The longsilog had longanisa which is a sausage. While I didn't expect to like it, because I'm not a fan of sausages, I did actually like it quite a bit. Pretty good tasting meal. And good pricing as well, $8+tax and tip. read more

I like this place. Not fancy but cleanlined decor. More Cafe style than restaurant. And a good list for the typical flip breakfast and dishes that are out. They also had a bit of everything - cooked dishes and packaged treats - the pickled green papaya, the suman, the leche flan, puto, pandesal, enseymada (sp?), suman, calamansi juice, pretty good chicharoon and more things that I do not know the names of but recognize. Tasty. You can take out or sit in their cafe style place. A good place to bring friends to introduce to filipino food. Will be back and I would recommend read more

I went here with my husband to have a brunch. He ordered PARES with Eggs and fried rice and I ordered Daing na bangus with eggs and fried rice too. The beef pares was ok. There was nothing special about the taste. I had Pares at Jonas in Caloocan, Philippines multiple times and so, I know very well how an authentic pares will taste like. They also served the beef pares cold -the bowl was warm but the meat itself was cold which tells me that food was microwaved. Such as shame! The daing na bangus was good. The flavour was there. The fish was store bought - I can tell because I buy those 3 in a pack too. Im not expecting a fresh coz Im in Canada! I have to mention that I waited 30 mins for my dish and so I my husbands dish has been sitting on the table for 20 mins. Just fyi, 5 customers after me go their dishes already Overall, the food was okay. I gave it a 2 stars for food and service. read more

Great spot for Latino food! Very unique and tasty! It's a nice place for events like birthdays , anniversaries, any celebration.

Lunch at Berto's (with Mrs. B) - (Dundas).. the chicken curry is good, very Pinoy style, the chicken is boneless! the dinuguan is ok, (Carinderia is still the one for me when it comes to dinuguan). Their portions are generous! so a 2-sides is ok to be shared, just order an extra rice! I like the presentation, better than Carinderia - they use real plates and metal fork and spoon. Their ice tea is super good! a real one! not too sweet! and very reasonable 1.50! the Mami is a bummer - they use instant noodles! We will come back again to try other food, the owners are very friendly! They have a lot of staffs which is good for the business (less waiting time) PS.
