My 1,200th review on Yelp had to have 5 stars, so here it is! So epic!!…read more I have had a few Filipino restaurants bookmarked for a while, but haven't had the chance to go to one until now. A good friend of mine was craving Filipino food so we chose Nanay's to scratch the itch. "Nanay" is the Tagalog word for mother. Let me tell you, this place is LEGIT!!! The restaurant has a pretty good size dining area. You can also order ahead for pick up. Employees are very friendly here and I appreciated the fact that the older gentleman was nice enough to give me a sample size of the Langka. It was right on the money! All of the food we got was definitely made with love. You can see it and you most certainly can taste it. I'm a big fan of Sisig, so it was only right to order it. They offer steamed white rice, garlic fried rice and pancit for your base. You get to choose your entrées (choose 1, 2 or 3). I opted for the sisig and their pork adobo which I have been told is a best seller here. No lies were told, as the adobo was on point! I also wanted to sample their "bilo bilo" and it was just like my mom's. I can never get enough!! Prices here won't swallow your wallet, and the parking lot outside is huge! The place was poppin' when we stepped inside and the line only got longer. That's how you know it's DAMN DELICIOUS! I suggest you try out Nanay's because you are missing out if you don't. Should you find yourself searching for some authentic Filipino food, bring yourself!! You'll be sure to leave feeling like you just ate at mom's house! enJOY!! =)

And I thought he meant a sample but instead started filling the container and handed it over to me with oil dripping on the sides. We were the only people in line, and it seemed like he just wanted us out of the store. When he was scooping the kare kare, he also kept scooping past the meat (beef items are an extra +$1 btw) and would dump out each scoop if he thought he was giving us "too much". Everything including the service was VERY greasy and I wouldn't come back.

When you enter, the counter you order at is directly in front of you. They have digital menu boards to the right and a self-serve soda fountain to the left. You order at the counter. They give you a number and they bring it to your seat. They have indoor and outdoor seating. The seating area inside the restaurant has about five tables. Seating outside has a few round picnic style tables with umbrellas. We ordered one Machaca burrito and one Carne Asada burrito. I used to love the Machaca at this restaurant. It was always full of tomatoes and onions, peppers and shredded meat, but on today's visit, I felt it was lacking all of the above. I will say the meat was seasoned well, but there wasn't much inside my burrito. Please see photos below. The Carne Asada burrito was a little bit larger. It consisted of pico, guacamole, beans, cheese, and grilled steak. The steak had a nice char on it. We each ordered a side of green chili. It was decent, but definitely did not have that New Mexican Hatch green chili flavor that I was searching for. I will say I do enjoy their chips and salsa. The salsa is chunky and a bit watery, but definitely has good flavor.

The food is not the same quality of this place when I started coming here four years ago. The food doesn't come out hot. The salsas taste stale. The green chile salsa tastes like it comes out of a can. I also like that this location is in DT Chandler and has an ice cream place close by. I like that they have TVs at the bar if you want to watch sports. Most of the time the bar top is dirty and sticky. It always amazes me because 75% of the time myself and my party are usually the only ones sitting there. It's not like they're that busy where they can't wipe it down before the next customers come. I have been coming here for over five years and nothing has physically changed with the look of the restaurant. Maybe I need to take a hiatus and come back and reassess. Hopefully the food improves and gives me a reason to keep coming back.

This is a really cute little spot for ramen and Hawaiian food. I knew it was going to be a place I…read moreliked when I noticed all of the Pokemon and anime art in the windows. I ordered the copy ramen and it was really good. I like that they gave these toys and how I wanted my egg cooked because I really don't like soft boiled eggs. My friend had some kind of a combo meal and it looks fantastic. In fact I wish I had ordered that instead of the ramen. My ramen was yummy, although I thought it would be a darker beef ramen and it was not. Our server was not the friendliest in the world but she got the job done. I guess that's all the counts. I would definitely come back here to try the Hawaiian dishes because they look seriously delicious, but I wouldn't make a special trip for the ramen.

The presentation is absolutely beautiful and unique. The edible flowers, butterflies and other toppings are such a nice touch. I enjoyed the matcha latte but I was a bit let down by the lavender latte, as the coffee had a very bitter aftertaste. I'm particular about my coffee so I'd next time stick with a matcha or one of the refreshing lemonades. Britt was very sweet and provided great service , I'd love to try more of her drinks in the future.

The line was long, but the drinks came out fast. I ordered The Barbie, which was a gorgeous and vibrant pink drink with dragonfruit and mango. While a hydrating beverage on this warm 93°F Saturday, this drink was super sweet. Super syrupy drinks aren't my favorite, but hey, I needed liquids, okay? This is a great local business with the friendliest staff. What's also cute is that they have a chisme box for you to jolt down some words. It's fun, the drinks are cute, and I would definitely order from them again at the next event I see them at!

I've salivated over their posts on Instagram for over six months now, so when I noticed them…read morealerting a visit to my neck of the valley, I set a reminder in my calendar. The line was short when we arrived, only 2 people deep. I could feel excitement bursting when I began my order, as I watched the employees working it in the 106 degree weather, shaded by a collection of pop up awnings. We didn't wait that long, and the food came out scalding hot. The posole ramen was a bit disappointing, at $11, as it only contained one chunk of pork, and the amount of noodles was underwhelming. The taste was good, but much too pricey for me to ever order again. The keto taco, at $4.50, was as hot to the touch as you'd expect a cheese tortilla, that just came off the grill, to be. We should have just drove our food home, which would have given it time to cool. Noting that for next time... The Quesitacos, at $4/ea, were so hot, it was like buying a Rolex at a pawn shop... it burns my fingers. Once we arrived home, I got into one, and it was good. Not great, but good. You may want to explicitly ask for some birria dipping sauce, as they don't just give it to you. The real treats this day were the agua frescas. At $4.50/ea, they're about the same as a $tarbuck$ beevy, but bursting with flavor. Bae highly recommends the Watermelon Pineapple and the Horchata, which was creamy with a hint of spice, like a chai tea, not like the over sweet concoctions at other restaurants. The problem with food trucks on social is that they've already set expectations so high, so when a customer shows up, they need to maintain the highest of standards, otherwise, they're just creating disappointing experiences, as you can see by their scathing reviews One annoyance: there were no trash cans for their patrons, although there were a couple of picnic benches and hi tops. I get that you don't want to lug bags of trash away... but neither do your customers.

But the wife and I were in the mood for Mexican... so in we came. The kids are a little older so were content with doing the dreaded iPad surfing. There are no games like cornhole or anything for them to "play" with. All good. Kid menu was standard fare. I got the Blue Corn Stacked Enchiladas with chicken. So damn good. I literally overate like it was Thanksgiving. Wife is a vegetarian and the menu was a bit slim for her, especially since salad was off-limits due to Cyclospora outbreak - not taking any chances. Got a flight of frozen margaritas - Cucumber, Mango, Blueberry, and Blood Orange. All of them terrific. I would love to come back.

Server apologizes again. Wife orders a medium sized margarita on the rocks. 10-12 mins pass... And finally we get the correct fajitas. (With a brand new setup plate too. Yay) We get the bill... The dang margarita costs the same as the fajitas! $20 for a margarita is too much. If the price was disclosed when we ordered we would have skipped it. Not a good value. Our bill was $45 for one order of fajitas and one margarita. (I drink water) LOL: Table next to us is a dude clearly on a tinder date. She's got three empty $20 margarita glasses. He has one. Hope he scored. Bet his bill was $150!
