Rebekah M.

Got to try this place at a yelp event yesterday and I wish I would have tried more items. When I walked up the people working were so nice, seemed happy to have us all there. We got a sample of rice and it was pretty good. I saw that they have a lumpia event coming up and I want to look into making it to that.

The IDK bowl, lumpias and adobo rice.
Jesus M.

Awesome Filipino food truck. The lumpias are so crispy and filled with delicious fillings and the dipping sauce is great. The server was nice and kind and the rice is good and filling. Thank you for being a part of Fresno's Restaurant week and letting me discover you!

Sisig fries
Annika G.

El Jabalito is THE BOMB! Chef Jake knows exactly what he's doing and is doing the Central Valley a great service by being one of the few Filipino food spots we have. You can also really tell he cares about the quality of the food he puts out and wants to make sure that his customers are given the best. I went with my mom to try it out near Reclaimed Mt. Goods in Madera. My mom is from the Philippines and often misses home food. I got the sisig fries, and my mom got the IDK plate. They let us sub out the pork lumpia for an extra vegetable lumpia, which was nice. My mom loved the food and said it tasted like hers. I agreed with hers after taking a bite. My sisig fries were loaded and very filling--I only ended up eating half the box. I love the attention to detail--the fried egg, the mayo, the furikake, and the calamansi--everything was perfect together. The food truck itself is covered in stickers and also has fruit juices and Filipino snacks that we enjoyed seeing. I love the decorations/designs on the truck as well. After we finished that, we got some halo-halo, and it was also great. My mom especially liked the homemade ube leche flan. Everything was fantastic, and I will definitely be returning.

Sisig fries and ube horchata
Khatherine P.

Love their sisig fries. Bed of fries, plenty of diced pork, their secret sauce, and the fried egg on top brings it all together. Their ube horchata is refreshing and delishhh!

Vegan Spam Silog
Rylan B.

With this being a food truck it is hard to get a hold of them. I recommend following them on Instagram because they post their schedule, location, and updated menus on there. I caught them on a random day at Gazebo Gardens and became an instant fan. With the closing of Boba Silog (ifykyk), the Filipino food scene in Fresno is becoming more and more scarce. El Jabalito is currently crushing it with their curation of food that excludes the typical selection: lumpia, pancit, adobo, etc. Service is friendly and the wait is decent. The first day I had them was actually a vegan event. Vegan food isn't something I typically go for, but something about their vegan spam silog was calling my name. I do not regret making the drive at all, because it SMACKED. No one can top Boba Silog's garlic fried rice, but this comes pretty close. It's not as flavorful or crispy, but does its job well. The vegan spam packed flavorful and gave me the peace of mind that I'm not eating the packaged sodium that is regular spam. The egg. THE EGGGG. I mean, look at the picture. It was perfectly cooked, seasoned and dressed to perfection, and pulled everything together. It also came with banana ketchup. A staple. No complaints here, what a unique contribution to the Filipino scene here in town. With a rotating menu and their creative minds, best believe I will be back.

Eggplant pancake, a seasonal special
Rita B.

This is a new food truck in Fresno serving Filipino food, and I'm so happy to see that they seem to add new stops around town every week. (Note: they are not at the address on their truck; that's their home base or whatever.) I've seen them at Gazebo Gardens, Vineyard Farmers Market, Spokeasy, 559 Night Market, and Tioga Sequoia beer garden - and like I said, they seem to add spots every week, so make sure to follow them on social media to know where they'll be. I grew up eating Filipino food and there isn't enough in Fresno so I'm just loving them. I've committed to working my way through their menu which might be hard because they seem to frequently do specialty and seasonal items. For example, right now they have a pumpkin curry which I loved: veggies in a pumpkin curry over rice. So far I've tried the lumpia (delicious. we have get two orders every time because my husband has to have an order to himself), sisig fries (marinated fried pork and egg with yummy sauce over French fries, so good), eggplant omelette (my fave, so delish!), fried rice (comes with a fried egg on top, so good), and the ube French toast (made with ube batter and some kind of sweetened condensed milk topping with fresh berries on top - decadent!). I am dying to try the adobo but they sell out! Wishing Chef Jake much success! Thank you for bringing your delicious food truck to the community!!

On this visit, I was greeted and helped by Jam. She was sweet, helpful, and welcoming. She informed me of the 3rd Annual Fil Fiesta 559 on 10/24, unfortunately I was unable to attend. Jam and I compromised with my little one, who begged for Halo Halo, with just a scoop or two of the ice cream. We also left with Ensaimada, Hopia, and Pandesal. We finished the Hopia so fast, my family has requested my return visit here. Will be back soon. Yelp Restaurant Week #2 (Oct 15-21, 2026) featured Bread and Butter: - Your choice of any bakery item: 3 for $20 / 4 for $25 / $7 halo-halo - Halo Halo is popular cold dessert in the Philippines.

I arrived shortly after they opened while they were stocking the freshly made pan de sal, which is similar to a super fluffy dinner roll, but can be eaten at any time of day. This is one of my favorite ways to ingest carbs---it is perfect sliced in half, toasted, with or without butter. Or you can just open the bag and bit into the fluffy carby goodness. There is a slightly sweet and yeasty flavor to the roll. They make them in three flavors: regular, ube and pandan. They only had regular and ube--so I grabbed both and a few to share with friends and family. I also picked up a halo halo, an iced dessert that has candied fruits, shave ice with condensed milk, topped with ube, coconut, or mango ice cream (theirs has ube), a piece of flan, candied banana, corn flakes and some thick ube paste. Every place that serves halo halo makes it a little differently. I really enjoyed the one made by Bread and Butter. I definitely would go back for this treat. The store is small and is decorated with posters and flyers for community businesses and upcoming events. It is a small family owned business that is tightly connected to the community, makes products they should be proud of, and is 1000% worth everyone stopping by to give them a try. I just got my favorites in this visit, but there are so many other goodies for you (and me) to try! Stop by and you won't regret it!

Please look at the pictures to see the current menu. Location: the place is clean and also the surrounding area. Cool area to step out and look around while you wait for your food to come because it's made to order! So make sure you give yourself sometime time. Parking: is not free parking but plenty of street meter parking. On my short trip to Fresno I got to visit this place called TAPSI! My assistant and I tried the number 1 and 2 .. at $13 dollars a pop. The presentation looks great and made to order! Both came with garlic rice , vegetables , 2 lumpia and the lumpia was tasty! The taste was really good and fresh. The surrounding environment was so cool as well. So now that I found you TAPSI now every time I make it here I'll be sure to always say hello and taste some of your other combos on your menu. If your ever around this area or passing tru and looking for a great breakfast Filipino food and made fresh... then this is the spot for you.

Most of their stores are in California with the exception of a few in Oregon, Texas and Nevada. This is your one stop store for all your Asian groceries. I can easily spend hours shopping through their aisles. There are so many items I have never seen before. Their Seafood department is amazing with so many varieties of live Fish, Crabs and Lobster. I especially like their Produce department . Today, they had cases of Atulfo Mango 18 count for $10, of course I could not resist it and bought a couple cases. What's really amazing is their selection of Asian Beer, there are many brands which I am not familiar with. *** May is AAPI Hertiage Month. Support Asian owned businesses.

Their prices are great and it is worth heading to the other side of town for their prices. The selection here is much larger for most items than the other markets in Fresno. In the vegetable section there is always a guy there that is very knowledgeable and goes above and beyond with answering questions about unknown items to me, and giving recommendations of flavor profiles I may be unfamiliar with or I'm looking for that will match the dish I'm am describing. I always appreciate seeing his smiling face! I've never noticed before today, but there is a sign in the back near the meat counter that reads that they will fry your fish for you at no charge. That is something I will have to read reviews on and ask about! I love that they have two and go pay, I forgot my cards at home and was able to thankfully use tap and pay with comfort and ease. The cashier was very friendly and gave a package of candy. The store was clean and decorated nicely for Chinese New Year.

The raw beef laap, if I remember correctly they're the only place in Fresno that sells FRESH beef. Freshly butchered. I don't know if that is true but the beef quality was great. Usually I ask for mild and slightly bitter. (I forgot to ask for it to be slightly bitter) and they made it bitter, too strong but still good nonetheless. (4/5) Goong nampa, I was just craving something refreshing. This was okay. I could definitely do without it. It's 4 or 5 shrimps on top of cabbage and tomato with a spicy sour sauce on the side. A bit pricey. $13. I honestly felt like it was missing something? I'm not sure. (2/5) Eggrolls, these were your basic eggrolls. Little meat, lots of veg (which is the perfect ratio for eggrolls) I know some prefer a lot of meat in their eggrolls but I definitely don't. Super fresh and hot when it came out. Kinda oily though. (3/5) Pad lad na, I enjoyed this a lot. Super tasty. A tad bit bland but they have a ton of seasonings on the table to dress it up. (4.5/5) Overall everything was pretty decent. Nothing too crazy. I do have to mention that all the dishes were on the pricer side and the portions are smaller than other places in the area. I want to give this place a 3.5 but I rounded up to 4
