Visiting Napa for the week, and I've started missing some home-cooking! Saw this place online, and decided to check them out --- Gio and his wife are doing their thing! It's always good to "follow" his business on IG just to make sure you know his location before heading out. Since this might be my only visit to Cooked By Gio, I wanted to try more than 1 item. I decided to get the Combo Plate ($23) which comes with any 2 Proteins + Rice & Salad; not a bad price at all for a food truck. His wife was the cashier, and she was very friendly. Expect a wait time of 7-10 minutes, as food is made *FRESH TO ORDER*. The Sinigang Chicken wings were absolutely amazing. A nice sour-citrus flavor came thru, and the crunch of the batter was *chefs kiss*. I wish I had eater slower to enjoy them just a little while longer. Now onto the Pork Sisig. As a Filipino who was missing flavors of home, this gave me what I was looking for. Delicious pieces of pork tossed with lots of onions and chilies, that my craving was satiated. I'm more of "team mayonnaise" (this didn't have it), but I definitely recommend "Cooked By Gio" to all my kababayans and friends of kababayans as well! GIO IS THROWING IT DOWN! read more

Our first experience with Cooked by Gio, maybe in 2024, was excellent. We loved the food and ordered again the next we saw them. We even recommended their food to others, and they loved it too. LOVE their lumpia! I've been eating lumpia all my life, and their lumpia is really good. On two occasions, we inquired about catering. Sadly, they were not able to accommodate us both times. The last time we had their food was at the Ohana Fest 2025 in Suisun. The sisig and the BBQ pork belly was kind of rubbery and hard to eat. We didn't really enjoy our food that day, and we weren't able to finish it. Hoping this was just a one off and that the food is still as good as our earlier experiences. read more

Gio's food truck came to an event in our neighborhood and it was fabulous! The food is delicious and came out fast, hot and delicious! The guy taking food orders was helpful and friendly. They have several trucks so they're in different locations. Check the website. And if you find them, eat at Cooked By Gio. You won't regret it. read more

After driving by a number of times, I finally stopped and got a combo plate to try it out. The guys are friendly, service is reasonably quick as they fire things once ordered, and all the food is super tasty. In the ethnic food desert that is Napa, this is a nice addition to get legit Filipino food. Lumpia is solid, the chicken adobo is delicious and the beef was also very good. I highly recommend them if you have a hankering, not just for Filipino, but good food. You can't dine anywhere by the truck, so plan to take it to go. read more

Bravo. I don't often go out of my way to leave a review, and I wish I would've taken a picture but it looked so good I dug in before thinking about it. It's hard to explain how much flavor this food had. I had a combination plate with pork sisig, sinigang chicken wings, and rice. The wings I honestly think are the best chicken wings I've ever had. They are a dry rubbed wing, not at all what I expected considering sinigang is a thin and light soup. And somehow they manage to get the skin REALLY, REALLY dry - in a good way. Juicy moist inside, but wow the outside is so crispy and crunchy. The amount of flavor is simply off the charts - sweet, salty, tangy, sour, thick with spices. Kicks your salivary glands into overdrive. The pork sisig was incredibly succulent and flavorful, and the rich fatty pork belly was complimented very well with freshly diced red onion, scallion, and lemon juice. Paired with a big heap of white rice that was soaking in what I think was sinigang broth, this was a truly delicious meal. I will come to this truck every time I encounter it. read more

Delicious food! We hired CookedbyGio for my sister's wedding and all the guests loved the food. The veggie lumpia's & BBQ Chicken skewers were a hit! We had to increase our order last minute and they were able to accommodate us. The food arrived on time & everyone was very friendly & professional from the beginning to end. Highly recommend. read more

Their content has been hitting my Instagram lately and I've wondered why I haven't tried them and well...I'm glad I did the other day. I went ahead and went to their American Canyon location and got a lot of things...hehehe...and they were HONESTLY really good! Got a BBQ chicken, Bangus and Chicken Adobo plates, lumpia obviously and mini Turonitos - EVERYTHING tasted yummy especially their BBQ chicken. It's safe to say that I will be going back to try other dishes. read more

I was working as a security guard at the napa oxbow market when I tried their combo meal. It was great, their lumpia and bbq was delicious, Ill eat from here wherever they pop up. I like to support small businesses like these that put in the work and they are that, keep it up guys read more

We came across them at an event in Fairfield and decided to give them a try. We had the bbq chicken plate and the pork belly plate. Both had really good flavor! The chicken came with 3 pieces of boneless thighs?, a couple pieces of lumpia and two big scoops of white rice for $15. It was a good price compared to a lot of the other pop up spots whose plates are 20+ for small portions. The pork belly came with a lot of pieces, the only thing is I wish it was a little crispier. Other than that, the service was good and fast. Our plates were ready quickly and everything looked clean. I would recommend them and would try other plates from them next time. read more

Me trying to stay fit, basically made my own plate lol I order some lumpia's and steam rice, even tho looks simple was sooooooo good and I was full by the end of the last lumpia. The guys at the food truck are super nice and friendly. Hope they come back soon. They were at Solano County Offices today. Look forward to eat here again. Maybe next time I'm down for some meat.. I do recommend them.:) read more

Cooked By Gio is a delicious addition to the Napa (and Bay Area) food scene. We've had their food at their weekly popup in Napa and private events, and everything has always been super tasty. The standout to me is their tofu sisig, which I'd never had before but was surprised by how much I liked it. The pork version is also great, so it's hard to pick a favorite. Can't go wrong either way though! We've had their chicken and pork BBQ sticks a few times and those were also really good! The lines at their popups can get a bit long at times but it's well worth the wait! Definitely recommend checking out their food. read more

Saw this place at BOTTLEROCK this past weekend and have to give it a try. First and foremost I would like to say that Filipino representation is super uncommon in Napa, so to see them at bottlerock & the Napa area in general was a huge plus! They kept their menu super simple (3 rice plates and 2 choices of lumpia, drinks etc.) and were also very up to par with what other vendors were charging considering it was a festival, so it was very very fair. Friday I had the chance to try the popular dish on their menu which was the pork sisig and not only was jt good, but was probably the best sisig I've had in my life. I've had sisig all over the Bay Area, down to SoCal, and even a few homemade versions from family and friends and back. This was by far the best, every bite felt like a warm hug that reminded you of a Filipino up bringing. And if you wanted to add more flavor to this already flavorful dish they had a "tito sauce" which was a mix of soy sauce vinegar and other secret spices that just enhanced the dish to another level or you could just pour it over rice which I also did. Portion sizes were MORE than enough, one huge scoop of rice and prob 1.5-2 scoops of protein which was a lot in my opinion. The next day I went back again to try their vegan dish which was the tofu sisig. This one was crazy! Tofu usually doesn't have any taste to it and I'm not sure what they did to this dish to make it that good but just wow! One of the cashiers told me to add the vinegar to it and I was blown away. It was just like the pork sisig but no pork, but still retained all the flavor! Also my first time trying a tofu version since most sisig has meat to it. I wanted try the adobo on the last day but they ended up having a super long line cutting through the crowd of people and eventually selling out so kudos to them because that just goes to show everything was very quality made! Definitely looking forward to eating here again and seeing the other amazing things they can whip up! read more

Gio was super nice and explained the different proteins on the menu to us. On top of that, the food was incredible ! I especially loved the Ube dessert ! read more

Just got home from bottle rock, so just reviewing now. I walked around at the different food options, and the one that had the shortest line was this place. I should have foresaw that as bad sign. Being Filipino myself, I'd figure I'd support this place and see what they have to offer. First and foremost their prices are super steep. Are you marking up like crazy cause you're at a festival? As most the food was subpar, would I ever pay these prices again for their food? Maybe it if was 8-9 dollars a plate. But again, in the Bay Area I've been spoiled by many other Filipino establishments. Where do I begin... 25 dollars for a measly scoop of rice and sisig. Or for 7 dollars more you get lumpia and a drink. So $32... yes $32 for a scoop of meat, steamed rice(emphasize streamed) and lumpia. I lived in Daly City where we had places serving up silog for 7 dollars a plate to this day with egg and garlic rice. For 32 bucks I can feed a family of 4. This is not Garlic rice, this is rice topped with garlic. It's an insult to their "authentic" marketing. Lastly... I saw a lot of people ordering their lumpia... mainly non Filipinos, this was definitely not homemade, glad it came with my combo cause it would have been a waste of $12. I know this is from the oriental store I really wanted to like this place, but I'm avoiding for the next two days and going to the other vendors instead. read more

They were generous with their food before, I would order a plate and would come a side of pancit and couple lumpia along with my order. But now they serve a very little amount with the same high price. I ordered a plate of pork sisig and they would fill up the little box with a lot of rice and just small portion of sisig. read more

The Sushi bake was to die for! There lumpia also had really great flavor and it was my first time having Pancit Canton which I really enjoyed as well. read more

Cooked By Gio - Sushi bake - Filipino Near Me - Napa, California

Gio catered the first night of our fusion wedding events (Sangeet/Welcome Night) at Mill Valley Community Center. Our guests kept commenting on how delicious all the food was! It is often difficult to find vegetarian options for Filipino food, but Gio offered tofu sisig and veggie lumpia which both tasted great! We had a food tasting a few months prior to our event and really enjoyed how everything tasted. We chose Pork Sisig, Tofu Sisig, Vegetarian Lumpia, BBQ Chicken Skewers and Grilled Liempo. We highly recommend having Cooked by Gio cater delicious Filipino food at your next event! read more
