One of the best, if not the best TAPSILOG in Orange County. Pantapat sa Rufo's Tapsilog in Makati during the 90s :-) One of the cleaner Filipino turo-turo restaurants. The dishes are freshly made and all are good! Definitely a go-to Pinoy resto! read more

Fili Eats - Tapsilog!!! - Filipino Near Me - Stanton, California

Ed was very welcoming to my fiancé and I coming in for the first time, offering us "Costco-like" samples of the food. We ended up getting half pancit and half rice, ground beef, and bicol express, and a beef tapsilog bowl. Everything was very delicious, and the vinegar adds well to the tapsilog. Joy was very kind, checking in on us, and even giving us a bit of turon. We enjoyed our time eating there, chatting with her about her cooking and how involved their daughter is in the business. Love supporting family businesses! We'll be back soon! FYI, If you want beef steak (which is super popular), call ahead and call early! :) read more

It's been a while since I had Filipino food an was craving breakfast specifically when I came across this establishment. Ordered some Grubhub for carry out but ended up eating in the restaurant. We ordered the beef tapsilog bowl, and pork adobo bowl. The order was it ready when we arrived. But didn't take long for them to prepare a fresh plate. Maybe 10 minutes. The service was friendly and we even got some wonton sabao bowls as well. Food: the food hit the spot for my craving. My wife also enjoyed the meal as well! Portion size was good for the price with over 2 and a half cups of rice per serving from my estimate and ample meat for each dish as well. We definitely will come back and try some other dishes like pork sisig etc. They also have a section for food that's already prepared, though we didn't partake in those. Overall 4.5, only negative was the order from Grubhub was not ready as quoted. read more

Service here was amazing! It was my first time trying Filipino food & Ed was so welcoming and offered us samples. We ended getting the pancit and rice combo + pork bbq skewers and sisig. I thought the sisig was just alright, the meat was a bit too hard for my liking. Lumpia here is a purchase minimum of 10, thought that it was a bit salty and small. Nice small business, would maybe get other dishes next time! read more

It's located inside a plaza with plenty of parking. The shop is small and they have different items in a class display. I came here twice to pick up lumpia. I picked up a bulk order of 50 pieces and also 40 pieces. The first time I came, it might have been under a different management. I came back to pick up more lumpia and it seemed like their pieces were significantly smaller. It was $26 for 40 pieces. The lumpia was as big as my pinky finger. It was crispy and warm, but a bit salty. I called in to place the order in advance. The lady at the register was sweet. I just wish the lumpia was bigger. read more

I am so glad my first time trying Filipino food was at Fili Eats! Upon entering the quaint shop, you are greeted by the sweetest and kindest family ever. They were kind enough to walk us through the menu and even had some recommendations for us. We got to try lechon (crispy pork), embutido (meatloaf), pancit (noodles), spicy cajun shrimp pasta, turon (crispy fried banana in an eggroll wrapper), and so much more. Everything tasted so good! And a combo box was under $12! AND THEY CATER! So excited to visit again and you should too! read more

If you are in the city of Stanton, between the borders of Buena Park & Cypress, then try Fili Eats to satisfy your Filipino food craving! Located in a small shopping center next to a Laundromat, this Filipino food establishment has plenty of choices for the "turo turo" which is Tagalog for point point, and has food placed in warmers ready to eat with no wait for cooking time. The male owner was nice enough to let us sample many of his dishes similar to "Costco" sampling. I already knew what I wanted to order and got the 2 item combo which came with white rice and had the bicol Express and menudo. We ordered our food to go and good enough we were able to enjoy the warm food without having to worry about reheating the food. The meat was not as tender as I would have liked it for both dishes and the rice was slightly hard (half star off). The menudo didn't have the usual Filipino hot dogs and the bicol Express had a more orange coloring than I was used to (half star off). This Filipino restaurant is easily accessible from Valley View which can be going towards the 91 freeway and if you are in Stanton, glad to know that there's Filipino food available in such a small city. So if you want to try some Filipino Eats, then go to Fili Eats and enjoy! read more

They serve so little and it is so expensive. That's the only reason why I gave 1 star. If these guys serve food with a generous amount like chinese places this would be getting so much customers left and right. It's a good place. Food is great. Customer service is great as well. Just wish they served a good amount. Thank you. Ambiance is chill and a clean place. It's small but very homey. read more

Welcoming, friendly service by the owners. Food is nicely prepared, not overly greasy or salty. Lechon was crispy and meat tender. Pancit was moist and flavorful. Favorite was the sisig, good balance of pork and onions/peppers with great flavor without being too oily. Clean premises too. read more

If you're looking for authentic Filipino food, this place is a must. I got the beefsteak and another entree and honestly both were incredible. The flavors were on point and everything tasted homemade and genuine. You can tell they're not cutting corners here. But what really made the experience stand out was the staff. Super friendly, warm, and welcoming from the moment you walk in. It's the kind of place where you actually feel taken care of, not just served. Easily one of my favorite Filipino spots in the area and I'll definitely be coming back. Highly recommend if you haven't tried it yet! read more

I am Filipino. Service is good food is not. They are overpriced compared to other Filipino restaurants. I heard their strength is catering.

Went on an adventure to find a Filipino spot, and found Fili Eats tucked away in a corner in a Stanton shopping plaza. We were greeted by Kuya Ed, one of the owners of the place, and he was so kind and friendly throughout our time there. He asked us if it was our first time visiting, and offered us small samples of the dishes that they had in display. That hospitality alone was a 10/10 experience, you rarely experience that kind of service anywhere nowadays. Keep in mind that this is a turo-turo place (ready to serve), however there is also food that they cook when you order, like the silog meals and fried lumpia. We had the pleasure to chit chat with Kuya Ed, and he mentioned that they pride themselves in cooking homemade meals. Which was proven when we tasted the delicious dishes that they offered! We ordered the dishes of laing, dinakdakan, pancit, dinuguan, fried milkfish, fried vegetable lumpia and chicken skewers. All tasted amazing, and you can taste that the food was prepared and cooked with love and care. That is very hard to come by with Filipino turo-turo places because most have been commercialized. Prices were fair and reasonable and the place had a homey, cozy ambiance and was clean and sanitary. Lastly, we ordered the turon and the halo-halo, and ohhhhhhh the angels in the heavennnnnnnn sang when we tasted both of the desserts. My favorite was the halo-halo, because it did not only have the typical beans that most Filipino food places sell, theirs had ube jam, leche flan, ube ice cream, and sweetened banana (saba), jackfruit, and two kinds of beans, and pinipig (rice krispies). The best I have had in Cali! I really wanted to gatekeep this place but honestly, this small business deserves the attention and patronage from clients. It really is thatttttt good, it's so good that we will be going back tomorrow. Highly recommend for homemade Filipino food! read more

Food was tasty, service was fast and friendly, and definitely will be coming back for more soon! read more

I am so happy to have discovered this Filipino store on the corner of Knott and Katella in Stanton. This store serves delicious Filipino cuisine such as sinigang, sisig, pinakbet and a lot more. This store sells empanada, leche flan and ube pandesal among other things. Ate Joy and Kuya Ed are so kind, respectful and generous. I feel welcome when I come here. Both of them treat you like a family. They are also ready to take your order any time even on a Sunday. There was one time I had to call them on their weekend to order food for the office party next day, and they made my order without any issue. My officemates were raving about the pansit bihon. Of all the Filipino stores, this is one of the best not just because of the excellent food they provide but also the superb experience. Thank you so much, Ate and Kuya! Cheers to more years of great food! read more

If you're craving authentic Filipino comfort food, this is an absolute gem. From the moment you walk in, you're greeted with the warm smiles and hospitality Filipinos are known for. The taste of freshly cooked adobo, sisig and lechon kawali, instantly making you feel at home. Prices are reasonable, portions are generous, and the service is attentive without being intrusive. Whether you're Filipino or just exploring the cuisine for the first time, this place offers a delicious, authentic experience that feels like a home-cooked meal shared with family. Must try their beef tapa, turon, spicy cajun noodle, barbeques and fresh lumpia ubod... wow! read more

Fili Eats is straight-up FIRE!!! Their food trays are the kind of thing that make you rethink your life choices :D - in a good way. The LECHON KAWALI?? Crispy, juicy, and dangerous. Like, you hear the crunch before you even take a bite. The CAJUN SEAFOOD PASTA hits with that creamy, spicy kick that keeps you going back for "just one more scoop," and then suddenly half the tray is gone. And don't even get me started on the LUMPIANG SHANGHAi - perfectly fried, packed with flavor, and impossible to stop eating... Plus, try their Crispy, Tasty Calamari and Tuna Pesto Pasta.. Wew! Everything tastes fresh, seasoned right, and made with love! Portions are generous, trays look amazing, and the food stays bomb even for parties. If you're feeding a crowd or just want to spoil yourself, Fili Eats delivers every time. Big flavor, big vibes, no misses. read more

Let's start off with the service -- I wasn't greeted at all. I was charged over $20 for two small items that definitely weren't worth the price. The lechon was cold and tasted like it had been reheated or reused from the day before. She originally entered $19.16 on the register, then quickly changed it to $20.63. This was my first and last time coming here. We definitely won't be back. You're better off going to Manila Grille instead. read more

Lovely little place that serves great food! Decided to try it when I was waiting for my car to get serviced. Lady is very friendly and helpful when I wasn't sure what to order. Love their crispy pork!!! read more

Fili Eats - Crispy pork yum! - Filipino Near Me - Stanton, California

This place served me bad pork, made me sick for 3 days. I gave them a second chance, they served me cold barbecue and Kare kare. I can't recommend this place read more

There was nothing wrong with the food or the staff; The food tasted comparable to most standard Filipino turo-turo (point point) joint fare, and the staff was hospitable. My only issue was the moderately sized dead cockroach near the front window. I would not be so careless as to insinuate that this place has a pest issue, but I'd be lying if I didn't admit that the dead roach negatively impacted the small restaurant's ambience during my meal. read more

Food is very tasteful and friendly service. Worth the trip from the Bay Area to try this place.

More of a hole in the wall type of place. Would suggest take out only (they do have seats for dining in though). Food is delicious, but there are different prices for different meats ($11.99 for combo one, $12.99 for combo two before tax; extra charge depending on what you get) read more

I came here on a Sunday during lunch and craved for some Filipino food in the area. Located at a shopping plaza next to Smart & Final Extra, I first heard of "Kainan sa Kanto" (Eatery on the Corner) because of my Tita who lives nearby. The small ambiance is very homey, in which they have a few tables, steam trays of their daily offerings and a few baked goods such as bagged pandesal in front. Service was pretty quick because they ask which items you want for a one or two item combo. Please note that they charge $1 more for beef or goat meat entrees and 50 cents if you're using a credit/debit card if the transaction is less than $20. As a result, I opted to pay in cash instead. I was pretty much impressed with their food quality. The kaldereta was a bit on the saltier side and kinda wished the beef was more soft. However, I liked the sauce because it was not too acidic. I'm truly I chose laing for the other entree. It was not dry and not too spicy and had the ideal umami taste. It had a perfect creamy texture of coconut milk blended with cooked taro leaves and pork bits. I even told the owner, "ang sarap po talaga ng luto niyo! Lalo na po yung laing niyo. (Your entrées are really tasty! Especially your laing". She even replied, "ay oo. Best seller ang laing namin. Binabalikan yan! (Yes. Our laing is the best seller. Patrons come back for it!). I was not able to finish my two item combo, so the owner offered some lids and a plastic bag to go. Before I left, I could not resist their turon. On the first bite, I immediately noticed the perfect crunchy texture and the sweetness I was looking for. I will definitely come back to Kainan Sa Kanto for my Filipino food cravings in the area. read more

best tapsilog. its not sweet. amazing garlic flavor. ive tried a lot of tapsilogs in my life in LA and in manila. This is one of the bestest

Wont recommend this place, I'm very disappointed with the serving. It's not worth the price. Very little serving.

I Really love this place, foods are palatable and bring comfort to me.Staffs are so nice, I recommend you to taste the dinakdakan,letchon kawali,and jackfruit with coconut milk read more

Authentic and the food was delish. I ordered combo with two sides and an order of lumpia, they also called it Shanghai. I had half steamed rice and half pancit (the noodles) and lechón (the crispy pork) and tocino (the red, saucy pork). The lechón was so crispy and flavorful. They also give you a sauce for it and it was so good! Tastes very similar to carnitas. The tocino tastes like Chinese bbq pork but this was more tender. The only disappointment was the lumpia. I was looking forward to this the most and they had very little filling so you tasted was the wrapper. They were so little too. Definitely so not recommend the lumpia from here. Overall, will absolutely come here again and enjoy their amazing dishes. read more

I ordered the eggs rolls (100qty was a small party tray) for a Christmas party and they were a huge hit.

Kainan Sa Kanto was suggested to me by a friend after I inquired about where to get good inihaw. For those who don't know, inihaw is a marinated pork skewer that is typically cooked over a hibachi. Delicious, especially when washed down with a bottle of San Miguel beer! Kanto's inihaw takes me back to the beaches of Surigao... or was it Siargao? I forget; it was a blur of a three-week vacation! What I did remember was the deliciousness of those perfectly cooked inihaw skewers, and Kanto provides an adequate facsimile! read more

I enjoyed the bbq skewers and the bbq pork. I'm also glad I waited the 20 minutes for the turn, which as promised, was the best!

Cute little shop with absolutely amazing food! The chicken adobo and kare kare are to die for. Definitely coming back with friends.

Prices went up so much and portion size went down. I miss the old owners. Food is bland now.

Good homemade filipino food. Nice people. Will come back. Fresh food. Good location. Affordable prices.
