    Pandan crusher halo halo
    Huong L.

    This place have been on my list for a while now and I finally had the chance to try. This is a solid 4 star. There is a parking lot so it shouldn't be a trouble to find parking. You order at the counter and the food will come out when ready. You bus your own table and the utensils and condiments are at a designated table. It was steady when we came so not too busy. Foodwise: 808 mix plate 4.5/5: it was a big plate that can easily feed 2 people. You have the option of adding on ribs if you choose for additional cost. We got half pork ribs and half beef ribs. The beef ribs was a little disappointing, not enough meat, not tender. Pork ribs were good. Fried shrimp and lumpia and spam was good. The rice and Mac salad help balance out the sauce from the meat. Chicken adobo 5/5: this was a really good dish for a good price. You get 3 pieces of huge thigh + rice, Mac salad and salad. Flavorful and tender. Pandan crusher halo halo 5/5: yummy. What you would expect and it would be perfect for a hot day. Halaya enseamada 2.5/5: I was pretty Disappointed with this one since the name of the restaurant was of this bread. The bread though was very very dry. The flavor was good but the dryness was very overpowering Overall, a solid place and I'm glad they opened a second location closer to me. I definitely would be back when I'm craving a good home cook meal

    Hurricane Chicken
    Steve C.

    First visit, this place is located in a strip mall area. I was planning on eating inside for lunch, but it was so freezing cold inside that I ended up getting the order to go. Unfortunately, their selection of drinks were virtually all high sugared options, they didn't even sell bottled water (yet they had a little container with courtesy water for guest dining in). I ordered the Hurricane Chicken and it was excellent, and the drizzle of spicy mayo made it the bomb! Side of rice was cooked perfectly and had a lot of flavor; the Mac salad was creamy and very tasty.

    Ube pancakes

    Enseamada Cafe is an absolute gem in Everett! From the moment we walked in, the service was incredibly fast and so genuinely friendly--the staff greeted us with warm smiles, took our order quickly, and everything came out piping hot in no time. It felt like they really cared about making our visit special. The food? Mind-blowingly amazing. The ube pancakes are pure decadence--fluffy, perfectly infused with that vibrant ube flavor, topped with a luscious ube cream sauce that's rich without being overly sweet. It's the ideal balance of indulgent and just-right, and I could eat them every day! We also got the sisig, and wow--the portions of pork belly are seriously generous. Tender, crispy-edged pieces loaded with that signature tangy, savory goodness. It was hearty and flavorful, easily enough to share. And the fried chicken? The sauces that come with it elevate it to another level--perfectly crispy chicken paired with dipping sauces that add just the right kick and depth. Every bite was packed with island-inspired flavor. This spot nails it on taste, portion size, and hospitality. If you're anywhere near Everett, do yourself a favor and go--it's worth every star! Will be back soon.

    Ube Halo Halo
    Generous Y.

    Honestly thought I'd left a review ages ago. Enseamada is one of my hidden gems I recommend up north. Casual location, ample parking with a nice plaza, and delicious food plus dessert. Hard to beat simplicity. A bit pricey at first glance but proportional to the quantity. Large portions, ube items, and halo halo are a huge selling point, getting dessert while here is convenient. Pipikaula Ribs - their plates are comforting and filling. Not a fan of the BBQ ribs on the inihaw plate because there's too much sauce (though I know people love sauce), so these ribs are amazing. Salty, savory, and juicy. Meat is tender and majority falls off the bone easily. Mac is tasty, creamy, and not too saucy.

    Crispy Kara Kara
    Tracie E.

    Cute cafe style Filipino/Hawaiian fusion restaurant, seat yourself, bust your own table type of vibe with limited staff interaction. One thing I loved to see when I walked in was multiple Filipino families sitting around the table, very good sign that the food was good. I ordered the Kara Kara, very generous portion and the peanut sauce paired so well with the crispy Kara Kara and veggies. My cousin ordered the 808 and loved the ribs, we both had leftovers to take home. Seen some reviews about their ube so we opted for the mango halo halo which was very good! If you're in the area definitely check them out!

    Coconut refresher with shaved coconut slices
    Dacia B.

    The food and the drinks are incredible! The drinks are so creative and decorated, layered with yummy surprises. You can tell they take their time to make sure everything tastes AND looks delicious! I got the mango halo halo drink, a coconut refresher (it's like coconut water but better) and pipikalua rib plate. I also got the mango tres leches but haven't tried it yet. It's so hard to find good tres leches so I'm looking forward to it!! The ribs have fish sauce which gives off a fishy smell but the taste is right on point. The restaurant was packed full, so I took my food to go. They even wrapped our drinks in saran wrap So they wouldn't spill in the car! So so happy I found this place!!

    Sisig bowl
    Ade W.

    Super delicious Filipino/Hawaiian restaurant with crazy delicious food. The food are a fusion of Filipino favorites like Sisig, Lechon, Kare-kare with island favorites like garlic shrimp, bbq chicken (which taste like huli-huli chicken, served with rice, salad and Mac salad. The Pandan crush halo-halo is also superb and feels different than traditional halo-halo but in a good way. Portions are quite large for the price, so definitely good value for what you pay. Service is quite fast too. Definitely would come back to try the rest of their dishes. For reference, we ordered crispy pork belly bites, sisig bowl, grilled garlic pork belly bowl, 808 plate with bbq chicken & pandan crush halo-halo. Two thumbs up, way up!

    longanisa plate with adobo rice
    Delora C.

    Stopped in for their brunch to finally try their famous ube pancakes and did not disappoint! I was worried it might be too sweet but it was just the right amount. Pancakes were thicccc and soak up the sauce beautifully, the macadamia nuts are the perfect crunchy topping. My husband got the longanisa plate and subbed for adobo rice.. 10/10 no notes. We rarely indulge in heavy Filipino breakfast that put you in a comatose right after these days but this was sooo worth it. I highly recommend yall come in during brunch on the weekends!

    Beef rib plate
    Megan G.

    Yes!!! So good. Hearty, comforting, flavorful food. Everything was delicious. The beef rib plate was the star for us as well as all the flavors of butter mochi and sago/jelly desserts. We had the pandan which was great! Will definitely be coming again to try more of the menu although we tried many things The flavored coffees were surprisingly good too. Flavorful and surprisingly not as sweet as I expected, which was perfect. We ordered at the counter and food was brought to the table. Restaurant seating is somewhat limited but we had no issue at 10am on a Sunday.

    Sisig Bowl
    Geo N.

    Visited Enseamada Cafe with a couple friends for lunch after years of wanting to go and it did not disappoint! First off, the interior is super cute. You seat yourself and order at the front counter. The place is a bit smaller than expected so you may have to wait on a busier day. Food wise, there was not a single thing I didn't enjoy, but I absolutely loved their sweets and I'm usually not a sweet person! The Ube Pancakes and Ube Halo Halo were hits in my book. I also loved how they cooked their lechon. The skin was soo crispy and the meat was still tender. I'm definitely coming back and I hope to try other menu items.

    Order desk/menu.

    This place is an "off the beaten path" treasure for my wife and I. Disclaimer: I'm not from Washington. My wife's family lives close to Redmond, WA. As a California resident, comparatively speaking, I found the food in the immediate Redmond area to be lacking as a whole. With the closure of Dairy Queen, my options in Redmond were reduced disproportionately by one of my favorites. Anyhow, I wanted to try something different, as we made a road trip to the Seattle Premium Outlets. The photos and the menu from the previous Yelp reviews really resonated with my wife. And with that said, my wife did all the ordering. Anyhow, let's jump to the conclusion. The grilled longanisa with adobo rice was excellent. The longanisa was expertly grilled (screaming with flavor) and the rice was not like anything I've had before. The flavors in the rice were subtle but memorable. The stringy chicken or pork (not sure which - probably pork) added a complementary texture to the rice. I will go out of my way to revisit this dish.

    Was in the area and decided to give this a try. It was just ok but not a fan of the sisig. It was fried pork but it was hard to chew and if you can get your teeth into it, it was chewy. We were just gnawing at it. Tried to finish it since it wasn't cheap and definitely not going to take it home as leftovers. We didn't succeed and just wasted food. The Filipino guilt our parents drilled into us about wasting food and thinking of all the poor hungry children sunk in!! As for The BBQ ribs and chicken, that too was just ok, nothing to write home about. BBQ sauce was just...well bbq sauce. I probably won't be back unless invited to meet someone there, perhaps. If so, I'd try something else for sure. Maybe better luck next time.

    Garlic Shrimp Plate, 808 plate( the biggest one) and the fried crispy chicken plate!!
    Valencia W.

    Wow!! We were so impressed!! Best Island food since I left the Island of Oahu! Yummy crispy fried chicken, fresh salad, fresh made mac salad and perfect sticky rice. My mom ordered the "808" plate!! It is enough to share but if you're hungry as a feral cat you will probably finish your plate! And the BEST shake ever Kona freeze... excited to back and make room for dessert... dream cake here I come lol. Did I mention kind and loving service? So genuine. MAHALO for a great experience

I come back to this restaurant per request of my parents. My dad likes coming here for their chopsuey. The vegetables are fresh and cooked perfectly. I have ordered sinigang, bicol express and their kare-kare. All the entrees come with servings of rice (2-3 portions). The dishes are meant to be served family style so that you can share the dishes. They have a little sauce bar to pair your food with your favorite sauce whether that's soy sauce, vinegar, etc. The only reason why I give this place 3/5 stars is due to the owner's attitude. I ordered a lechon kawali kare-kare and lechon kawali was brought out, no kare-kare. When I mentioned to her that the order was incorrect, she argued with me that is what I ordered. I told her that we did order it but she must have not heard us. Instead of trying to mitigate the order, she continued to argue with us that we did not order it. It took another worker to pull her aside to prevent her from arguing with us further. We could hear her keep trying to justify that we did not order correctly. The worker tried to offer the correct order to us, but we declined. We did not want to argue any further and just eat our meal at this point. The restaurant looks in good shape and has good Filipino food. They could use improvement on their service. We will likely be back per request of my parents but otherwise I would avoid if I don't need to eat here.
