    Not ube bun as advertised.
    Janet L.

    Found them at the Uber festival. Charged me for the ube burger but it wasn't served on the ube bun. They should let customer know that they ran out of the Ube bun. Not honest.

    Got Mano Po at ube fest and the garlic shrimps were so bomb!!! Delicious and perfectly cooked. Can't wait to try other things here!

    Tried Mano Po at a Manila Sound event hosted by Benny Boy Brewing, and it was so good! I appreciate Filipino food with a modern twist that doesn't lose the foundation of the food itself. Had the longganisa lumpia and sisig fries and they were amazing, sisig was real and not just meat which is sometimes what I get when I try sisig fries elsewhere! Excited to try more of their food, definitely recommend!

    This is a popular vendor specializing in Filipino food at Smorgasburg in DTLA on Sundays. I generally love Filipino food and the flavors that you can generally get in Filipino food are great. I think that "Mano Po" can satisfy a craving; however, I rate this as "OK" compared to my favorite local Filipino brick and mortar spots. I had their pork liempo with rice and their longanisa lumpia. The longanisa lumpia has longanisa cut into strips, wrapped in an egg roll wrapper, and served with a side of vinegar. Sweet, garlicky longanisa is always delicious; however, I don't think that eating in lumpia is better than having it with rice. For this to be a five-star dish, I'd love to either have more freshness from herbs within the lumpia to pair with the longanisa or I'd rather have a standard pork lumpia shanghai with mae ploy sweet chili sauce. For the pork liempo (pork belly), the flavors were good and I'd recommend it. I just have a few places that I prefer near me for the same dish. If this is something that you don't get regularly, then you should definitely try it here. Also consider checking out their shop Lobsterdamus next door for their whole grilled lobsters.

    My favorite is typically BBQ and Lumpia, which is exactly what I ordered from Mano Po. The service was good, but I would've liked ground pork instead of Longganisa in the Lumpia.

    Manila BBQ Chicken Plate
    Zarifa A.

    If you're feeling Filipino food at Smorgasburg, Mano Pano is the stand to hit up. They offer a variety of different rice plates and some sides. I opted for the Manila bbq chicken plate, which came with the chicken and garlic rice. The chicken itself was super yummy and juicy and the garlic rice was the perfect complement to it. For $16 a plate, it's a bit pricey for the quantity and quality of food, however, it is to be expected for anything at Smorgasburg. There wasn't too long of a line when I came and the line moved relatively quickly. Service was friendly. Overall, I would recommend giving Mano Pano a try!

    I had another great experience at mano po. Service was quick and food is great. Plenty of outdoor seating and ambiance within The Row. Great Filipino street food and we'll be back for sure!

    The garlic shrimps were on-point! A reasonable $15 for about 10 medium sized crispy shrimp.

    Mannnn, them garlic shrimps were Hittin' with a capital H! For about $15, I got a plate of 8-10 medium sized shrimp along with some garlic rice. I only wish they also included some of their pickled veg on the side as they do with the Manilla chicken plates. They have other dishes like the Manilla chicken, another favorite, as well as Chicken Inasal, Pork Belly, Longanisa Lumpia and more! It seems as though all of the meats are grilled on site, as you can easily see them grilling up loads of meat on several grills; the sights and smells are intoxicating. As I mentioned, I love the Manilla chicken, I only wish the chicken portion was larger. The crispy garlic shrimps have now been added to the list as one of the must haves from Smorgasburg. Thank you to the lovely workers serving up endless plates in the beautiful sunshine. Enjoy!

    Went during smorgasbord. Got the chicken. It was pretty good. Could have been a bit more flavorful. The garlic rice was really good. Good amount of garlic and it was tasty.

    Tina S.

    Tried Mano Po at Smorgasburg. First time to visit this place and it did not disappoint! Ordered liempo plate and devoured it for sure. Pricing is reasonable especially for a flavorful meal. We will definitely come back!

    Followed my nose at smorgasburg and ordered the liempo after watching the juicy, smokey pork belly being grilled to perfection. Paired with garlic rice, pickled calamansi & egg (+$2). Solid comfort food that's amazing to eat right off the grill, super happy with today's lunch :)

I really…read moreappreciate that they're open 24/7 every day, so I can visit any hour I'm craving tacos in LA. The first time I went on a weekday in the middle of the day, so it was super empty and not the best because nothing was being made fresh- the meats and potatoes were kind of just sitting in bins so although the flavor was there, the cooled down temperatures really affected the taste. HOWEVER, I visited a few more times after that, these times all late at night, which really turned my experience around. I think at those times there were a lot more people and long lines, so everything was being made fresh and it being hot just made the food taste so so much better. I love how the toppings are all self-serve, and the hot potato is my favorite side. Carne asada, lengua, and al pastor are my go-tos. You'll want to add hellaaa green sauce to everything- I could literally drink that stuff straight. Love the big easy parking lot here, I'll mention that I saw a few security people checking all the cars and plates so I wouldn't recommend trying to park here and walk somewhere else!

    One of the best al pastor burritos in LA! A friend…read morerecommended it to me and I traveled 19 miles and wasn't disappointed. You could see the freshness of al pastor on their vertical rotating grill and the meat seemed leaner as well. They cut a new batch of al pastor and then they chop it to smaller pieces than you're normally used to seeing and somehow, those smaller pieces preserved all the delicious meat juice inside. The al pastor was very tender, juicy, well-marinated and had the sweet and savory notes in a perfect balance and the guys adding some fresh, ripe pineapple on top was a nice touch! I got served my burrito open-faced, I added the salsa, pickled onion and chopped fresh onions and then sent it back to the crew for the final wrapping. Just a great, tasty burrito that absorbed really well. The quality could really be seen and felt and the $10 price tag was unbeatable. The customer service was very friendly and there is plenty of parking right behind the taco stand on the CVS plaza. Will definitely come again!

    Whoa. The hype is real. For all these years I put street food, taco trucks a step tier below actual…read morerestaurants. But this all changed tonight. I watched a burrito be made right in front of me in a minute and it turned out to be one of the best burittos I've ever had. And it was only $12. I understand now. The added pineapple in the buritto added just enough sweetness. They smash the tortilla into the grill and they also smash the meat to make sure it's hot. The meat has no gristle and it's very soft and flavorful. This is why we live in California. I applaud the taco stands opening up in the same block. The line was intimidating but the festive music only made me hungrier. I am surprised at how friendly the staff can be while they are "at work". I've only seen such positivity at Howlin Rays. Luckily, the line moves much faster. They had a cactus salsa which would have gone great with salsa chips. It's the type of salsa that you get at great mexican restaurants and they just let you choose an unlimited amount of it. I asked for rice and beans in my burrito and they put just the right amount of it, being careful as to not overpower the meat portions. I also appreciate that I can add my own salsa, onions, cilantro, before handing it back to them to wrap it. Sometimes the hype of LA places are blown out of proportion especially with blog posts and social media. But I can vouch for this place. It really is worth it. I will be back for sure.

It feels like I went back in time looking around. The entire place is spotless. Very clear menu and a few places to sit if you want to eat there. The gentleman taking orders at the window was in a great mood. Very friendly and polite. Took my order and then I walked to the sidewalk to wait. The music playing takes you back to a time long gone. Older couples walking down the street, holding hands and getting in line to place their orders where they probably have since this place opened. I ordered 2 Green Bean and Cheese and a Combination Burrito. My number was called and I made my way to the pic up window. I grabbed my box, said thank you to the lady and walked to my car. I was so excited but knew the burritos were so hot that they need to cool down. Once I made it home, they were the perfect temp and ready to eat. I started with the combination. The first bite and the flavors popped. I was surprised and wished I'd purchased a second one. It was great! The b&c were also great. I can't wait to go back. Fantastic food and experience.

The place is Alejandra's, and the creation is some of the best quesadillas you can get in LA. Coming up to the stand, you eye the menu and make your order, $8 dollars each or $10 for a dual topping type.

You watch it sizzle and rise brown, flip over, and continue its cycle to grow crisp. Topping highlights for me include squash blossoms and pork, which is chicharrones with a surprising crisp and crunch better than almost any other I've had, the ring of each bite echoing autumn leaves crunching under my feet, its condensed jerky flavour hemorrhaging in the still present sweetness of a meat once juicy. The stand provides a salsa bar with red and green sauces available, and other vegatative essentials- onion, cilantro, and pepper- serve as a lush and fresh forestry for the surprisingly substantial spice of the salsa to lick upon; piled upon the mountain of food and flavour, the green and red splatters evoked the Hollywood Hills, the red salsa smokey and particularly burning like the fires of last year.
