If you're craving authentic Filipino flavors, Ilocos Empanada and Tinuno is a must-try. The empanadas were perfectly crispy and packed with flavorful fillings, giving that authentic Ilocano taste in every bite. The tinuno dishes were smoky, savory, and cooked just right -- you can really taste the traditional preparation and quality ingredients. The portions were generous, the food came out fresh, and the staff was welcoming and friendly. Every dish felt comforting and homemade. Definitely one of our favorite spots for authentic Filipino comfort food. Highly recommend trying the empanada, vigan longanisa and Buko pie read more

Today was my 2nd time coming here and it never disappoints. This time, I got the pork belly and Ofcourse they're famous oh so yummy lumpianada! I was even lucky enough to see and meet the owner who was so sweet when I told her I always see her vlogs on TikTok. I will never get tired of eating her lumpianada. And her vinegar makes it even much better? Get wait to go back! read more

I came here a month ago for the viral Lumpianadas but I came back again recently to check out what else Pinoy Sa-Wrap has to offer. For this next visit I got their rice bowls and their newest menu item, the Lumpia Nachos. The rice bowls are quite the deal for a little over $8 and come with egg, veggies and garlic rice. I tried their Vigan Longannisa as well as their Beef Tapa rice bowls and enjoyed both. The flavors are on point! If one is craving for larger portions, they also have silog meals that come with the same items plus royal bibingka. The rice bowls are great but my new favorite is their Lumpia Nachos. I got the loaded version for $5.99 and instantly became a fan! It consists of crisp lumpia wrapper pieces topped with Vigan Longanisa ground meet and layers of nacho cheese. It has a little bit of a spicy kick to it due to the cheese and every bite is so addicting! I know I'll be back to get these again. So sarap!! My Filipino heart is fully in love and my tummy is living its best life. read more

Had a cousin dropped off to me in Calabasas and the Vigan longganisa is really good. I love that it's super juicy and fat and big. It's not like the skinny longganisa you buy at the Filipino store. I would say that this place is legit Ilocano food from Vigan. I can't wait to order more. Since I live far, I will order the frozen by the dozen and stock up. I definitely recommend this place. read more

The best Tapsilog + Longsilog in LA! I finally found my spot! This place is legit!

Be patient as your food is made to order. read more

Came from oc to try the ilocos empanada. Not as bright orange/red as most are and very thin and airy outer layer of the empanada. I give this a 5/10 Its okay.. its very oily and not as flavorful when you eat into it. I rather eat a fried vegetable lumpia tbh. (Oh I paid cash BTW and got a surcharge) Pay attention to your receipt when you pay cash. read more

Finally tried the Lumpianadas! I went on a Wednesday at about 9. There wasn't a long line. Since the lumpianadas are made to order I just had to wait about 20mins. I brought them home to my family and we were very pleased with the taste and size! They are quite filling! When I came they didn't have the extra fryer yet but I can imagine that they are pushing out more orders a bit faster now that they have it. It's also great to know that you can place your order ahead of time by calling. My mother is older and I don't think she would want to wait for an hour at the store. Since my folks are local it's nice to know they can call and come pick it up when the order is ready. I would definitely come back next time I'm in the area. read more

Found this place on tik tok going viral for their Lumpianadas. So of course I had to try it! I've been searching EVERYWHERE for them and to see that they are here locally, I was pretty stoked! They do had their own twist to the ilocos empanadas, but nonetheless still delicious and crispy! I did order ahead of time so I wouldn't have to wait long there. This place is located INSIDE the angelitos market! read more

Oh my goodness, it's a game changer. Ilocos empanadas. Savory, crispy and oh so good! It's the ultimate comfort snack! If you don't eat it right away, pop it in the air fryer for a few minutes and it will crisp right back to that delicious crunch. Make sure you have your vinegar ready for dipping. I'm not so thrilled about the system of ordering. Wish they fix that. read more

Finally got to try this place. Pinoy Sa-Wrap specializing in Ilocano style silog style breakfast. It's a tiny place, inside the market. They are takeout business. What I ordered: The Vigan Longanisa Silog - it comes with garlic fried rice, topped with fried eggs, veggies, and a slice of royal bibingka. Side order of Beef Tapa Lumpianada My verdict: The Lumpianada is the winner for sure. Freshy made to order. The Crispy edges, and the fillings are generous and the flavor is excellent and authentic. The garlic vinegar sauce takes it to another level. Huge size, price is a little high but one will fill you up for sure. The Vigan Longanisa Silog generous portion with 3 small longanisa is perfect balance of garlic and vinegar. The garlic rice is just average to me, it needed more garlic but flavor is there, but the rice is a bit hard. Egg is cooked and seasoned to perfection. The royal bibingka is delicious. I wish I ordered extra. Overall the silog is great, but it was already cold when I got my order. I guess my plate was made and sitting while waiting for the Lumpianada to finish cooking. The side order of 1/2 pound of Beef Tapa is perfectly marinated, very tender. Service was excellent. Auntied working front and back was handling the busy morning crowd and also phone orders. I waited for 20-25 minutes for my order. I do suggest to phone your order in advance. The Silog wasn't perfect, was a already cold when I got it but its flavorful. The Lumpianada came out fresh and piping hot and winner for sure. I'll still rate them STARS. The price is average. Always support small businesses. read more

So good I had to go back to back days. Made fresh to order. Takes about 10-15 mins. Outside is super crispy and the inside is piping hot. Combined with the suka/vinegar (and even the sweet and sour sauce), you've got and explosion of flavor! Plenty of parking in the lot. Not hard to find. When you walk in, kinda confusing. Half resto/half money remittance/lotto and scratchers stand, but clean nonetheless. Will definitely go back when craving calls for it. Recommend! read more

This review is only for the lumpianadas--MUST TRY! This is the second time I've had them and they are worth the hype! The lumpianadas are always made fresh and made to order! So if you do walk in, expect waiting times from 15mins to maybe an hour depending on how busy they are. I personally made an order over the phone at 8am right when they opened and requested for a 9:30am pick up. It went smoothly, I arrived in time and was in and out of there in less than 5mins! Also, the lumpianadas are made with eggrolls wrappers! Not the original rice flour dough that you might've seen going viral, that's the bright orange dough. Both are very good! Again, these are made to order so it's hot and crunchy/crispy! If necessary, you can airfry to get it crispy. It's not really the same as if you ate it right away. As for the filling, it's really good packed with flavor and ingredients--eggs, green papaya, munggo and vigan longanisa! It's super garlicky, juicy, perfectly paired with their homemade vinegar! The portion is huge and to me, 1 lumpianada is a whole meal! Price is $7.50 plus tax! They accept cash or card. There isn't a lot of space inside the store so it's best you order take out. There's plenty of parking except during school pick up times since there's a middle school across the street and an elementary school down Bonita St! It gets crazy busy. I highly recommend ordering in the morning since the store is less busy then. Thanks Pinoy Sa-wrap for satisfying my cravings!! I'll definitely be back for more! I love sharing the lumpianadas with my friends and family! read more

Another recommendation from someone I trust, so I had to give it a try. It's a takeout-only spot, but they also carry a small selection of Filipino grocery items and snacks. The food feels truly authentic--no gimmicks, no trendy twists, just the real thing. As for the price, it's not bad at all, especially considering it's a simple takeout place. read more

I was influenced by social media to try this place! Heard about this small spot in a shared space with the Western Union manong, and it didn't disappoint! All items are made to order and with plenty of love. You can phone in an order or go in person which would be about 30 mins regardless. This food stop is known for their lumpianadas which is a take on the ever popular Ilocos Empanada. I ordered a lot for the family and I, and it didn't disappoint. Tried this place about a month ago and we've been ordering the lumpianadas every weekend since. It's a heart appetizer/dish filled with Vigan style longganisa, green papaya, mung beans, and a whole egg wrapped in lumpia wrapper (I think). Deep fried to perfection yet not overwhelmingly greasy. Full of flavor and best paired with the complementary suka (vinegar). Do note that these things are huge! Roughly the size of two normal empanadas in length. Highly recommend a try! The wait is worth it. read more

Small place with no tables, so it's pretty much order and go. I haven't had anything else other than the Lumpianada. It's a large empanada in lumpia skin and deep fried. Add the sweet chili sauce, the spiced vinegar and it's delicious. Not the healthiest thing but it's freaking awesome. Of course I've been raised around Filipino food and people so it definitely suits my palate. read more

This ethnic restaurant caters to the northern Philippine taste. The place doesn't accommodate dine-in so it's best to order ahead because it is popular. I believe they used papayas instead of mongo bean sprouts and wrap the empanadas in eggroll wraps instead of that thicker rice flour. I recommend the Ilocos empanada but be advised that like many other ethnic foods, it take an acquired taste to enjoy them. Took a bite for the photo to show content (has egg and sausage inside). read more

If you're craving a Filipino breakfast that hits all the flavor notes - savory, salty, sweet - this is it. Best Filipino breakfast ever, this sets the standard HIGH. I went last July but dream about this place often still! Longanisa is very salty and it balances well with the rice, vinegar dipping cup, & garlic rice. I loved the cucumber, tomato, orange and cherries on the side. Beef tapas is perfectly marinated and soft. Loved that the fried egg is treated with love and garnished with corn beef & green onion. And they even throw in a bibingka for you. So much love put into each plate - it's well worth the price. Service was good & the ambiance of the plaza is very nice and calm, so you could sit outside the Starbucks on the patio if you want to eat here. I think there's no seats available inside, but that isn't an issue when they do this breakfast so good that it's excusable. 10/10! read more

Ugh 1000000/10!!! It's my second time coming here and the food is just chefs kiss! We got the lumpia silog, pork belly silog, and tapa silog. The star of the show was definitely the empanada it's so hard to find and the fact that they have it ready to go was still shocking to me and super delicious! Service was quick and there's definitely indoor seating so no worries there. I would definitely recommend this place if you're in the area and want a quick silog Filipino meal! I'll be back again and again! read more

I came out a couple of weeks ago to try their goodies. Sadly, there was no service for the day. I was told by the gentleman upfront that the food staff was out sick. Yeah, it was a sad face moment because I had a taste for Vigan longganisa. Fast forward today. Big Bro came for a visit and told him about this place. It's small, barely any kind of seating, but wanted to try their silogs - specifically, the Vigan. (He, too, is a fan.) And to avoid the mishap on my first run, I called to make sure there is food service. "Yes, but we're only open 'til 2p today." She also promoted a new item: lumpianada. Definitely interested in that! I was about a mile away on an errand and it was only about noon. Plenty of time. Came through, no one up front, no problem. We took a quick look through and decided on the beef tapa and Vigan silogs. Thought about bringing home a couple of them lumpianadas. So we rang the bell. We heard someone at the back say they'll be right out. So we waited as we heard some commotion and multiple conversations happening behind the walls. A minute or so later, still nothing. A line of about 3 (maybe 5?) built up behind us at this point. Still nothing. I told Big Bro if they're not out in 30 seconds, we'll go. We gave it another minute and still... nothing. So we left. *** SIIIGGGHHHH!!! *** I know... we could have been more patient. But we've been running errands all day, didn't have time for breakfast, and we were starving. We ended up dining at Aling Delia's. (That's where I ended up, too, the last time.) So we ate, got done and started the trek back to the car. We walked by this place and saw those people behind us in line earlier still waiting for their goodies. Oooofff... But not necessarily a one and done. Who knows, maybe that third time might just be the charm...? Will update should that come to fruition. read more

This was my first time ordering from Pinoy Sa-Wrap (a pun for Tagalog word 'sarap' which means delicious!) and it was a positive experience. I saw a viral video on social media that shared that this restaurant sold the viral Ilocos empanadas. While I've never had this type of empanada before and I have no point of reference to compare, this one tasted pretty good! My food was made to order so it came piping hot straight from the fryer. The filling was shredded papaya, egg, and longganisa. Portion is huge! I was pretty satisfied after one empanada. I would say the flavors are pretty mild but when paired with the spiced vinegar or chili sauce it takes it up a notch. Service was very friendly and welcoming. As the food was made to order there was a 30 minute wait. However, do not fret! Take a browse at the bakery a few doors down or check out the other Filipino-owned businesses in the plaza. No indoor seating to my knowledge at this time. Plenty of parking. I'd recommend you give this business a try! read more

Location was a bit hidden in a shopping plaza, seems like they are sharing a spot with another business. But they do have a small sign outside. Not a sit down restaurant, and food is pick up only. We wanted to try the viral empanadas and saw that they also have other food items. Ordered 2 empanadas ($7.50 each) and 2 bowls ($8.50 each). So the bill came out to be $36 and some change. However, when we got my order, inside the bag was only 1 bowl, the 2 empanadas, and 6 pieces of lumpia rolls. So I'm not sure how that added up. The lesson here is: check inside the bag and your order before leaving and get a damn receipt!Because now I can't help but feel taken for a fool! For the food: the pork belly bowl was tasty and the right amount of food for the price. The viral empanadas were good size too. It had that crunch when you bite into it (it was quite hot for your first couple bites so be careful). Flavor was there, and the vinegar sauce it comes with helps with giving a nice sourness to it. What I didn't like is how oily the empanadas were (yes I know they are deep fried)!! So definitely not the healthiest. Glad this establishment is getting their moment...but it's a one and done for me. Best of luck to them. read more

Like many people, my IG feed sometimes tells me where some of the best food is found. For three weeks now, I've been seeing videos of people biting down on Ilocos Norte empanadas and the sh** is viral. Now, I'm not attracted to things that are viral but I AM interested in what genuinely looks good. The empanadas looked GOOD. I did some research and found Pinoy Sa-Wrap. I went, I ordered, I waited and watched order after order come out and I knew by the traffic that these have to be good. I ordered just one, because they are huge. I wanted to try the vigon longanisa too but they were sold out. I DID get a tapas bowl though. Every bite of every THING was delicious. My stomach is happy and I was full long before finishing my food. I loved it and will be back! Tiny kitchen, small family operation, and they got the empanada aka lumpianada, which no other establishment has. Thank you for feeding me! P.S. be patient with the waiting... it will be worth it. read more

Their lumpia illocs is the bomb. I get the hype. But i thought they were the other ones .

I always come here almost everyday last time, but the last time i order lumpianada there was a hair, that's why i didn't get a chance to order again, now i order pork belly they said 30mns to wait."i said ok, then i follow up they said 10mns , i said "ok" and they said another 10mns so i was so upset, because i'm goibh to pick up my kid,and need to go to work @3p. I recommended this at work, but for just pork belly 45mns wow. And lumpianada is good but there is a human hair. Beef tapa is not good anymore like before just saying.but thank you pinoy sa-wrap i shouldn't write this if my pork belly just come out bfor u said 10mns 10mns ohmy gee different from 30mns.

This is now our go-to place for Filipino "SiLog" dishes either for breakfast dine-in or pick-up to go. Their food lineup is made up of definitely basic yet very good, meaning delicious. We love their Silog dishes, Lumpianisa, Ilocano style empanadas and even dessert offering (which we have not tried yet but all look very promising). although they have very limited seating for dine-in, ordering on the phone ahead for pick up or to go is the way to go. There is definitely some wait time when you walk in and place your orders there, but surely worth the time and wait. so obviously, their space here is small, it is fair to say that they deserve to have a much bigger location and more people to cater to more customers. Their costs are fairly reasonable and definitely worth what people pay for. All the Best to the wonderful owners and staff of this restaurant and Thanks for the delicious offerings you have made available for diners on this side of Los Angeles! Definitely, Ma-Sa Wrap!!! They can work to make their service more organized and efficient by having another person help take care of orders and customers up front. It will be very helpful to have smoother and much better operations when and if ever they decide to expand and enhance. read more
