I live in Lake Elsinore within 60 miles of Carson, and I don't mind driving that far because of the hospitality of the owner and the food that they serve is so amazing it's out of this world. It's a must to try the food at Pinoy Sa-Wrap. read more

Lumpianada is fire' im addicted. It's crunchy on the outside and the inside is so good. You will not be disappointed if you try it. I also just tried the barbecue pork belly and it was delicious. It was a little salty but still good. I suggest you eat it with the fried rice. Portions are large. Their hours are a little limited. They close at five so if you want food delivered, you need to plan early but it's worth it. read more

Delicious comfort food. Excellent customer service. They close at 15:30. Call your order in. read more

A most surprising find in the midst of many other good Asian eating establishments! I was introduced to a lumpianada and was fascinated about other menu items this place had... The lumpianada is a great creation, a fusion of a lumpia and empanada; perfect crunch outside, softness & yumilicious inside. Even the sawsawans (sauces) are great, they truly complement the complexity of the ingredients from the inside out. The ambiance may contribute to the appreciation of their food... The place looks a triple business location; restaurant, plastic goods store, and some kind of remittance/shipping shop... When the food arrives, the 1st few impressions of the restaurant's ambiance disappears! The food is fresh, fast, generous, inexpensive, and truly "sarap," delicious! I had the longsilog with Vigan (a most charming town in northern Philippines NOT someone who eats just veggies!=o) longanisa, longanisa rice, pickled cukes, and atsara (pickled papaya salad), and small piece of their Royal Bibingka ...WoW! What a combo! I wanted to try the other items in the menu that same day! Michelin raters do not account for the ambiance. This place is a great place for a Michelin rating! Michelin Guide raters look exclusively at what is on the plate. They judge every restaurant using five strict, universally applied culinary criteria rather than looking at interior decor, table settings, or the level of formal service. Restaurants may receive One to Three MICHELIN Stars for the quality of their food based on five criteria: quality of the ingredients used, mastery of flavour and cooking techniques, the personality of the chef in the cuisine, harmony of flavours, and consistency between visits. https://guide.michelin.com/th/en/to-the-stars-and-beyond-th The service from the Chef/Owner/Cashier is exceptional and very accommodating. I was offered a free water after asking for tap water and was also given a small serving of their super sinigang to try out!=ox It was a perfect aperitif or a digestif depending when you drink it... The bibingka was not as fresh but I already had one that was fresh so, this will not take away any stars for the rating. Anyways, don't waste your time going to other restaurants nearby, this is the place to be, at least once a week or when you've tried each menu item and recommend this place to your Friends & Fams!=o) Great service, awesome, tasty & creative food in generous & inexpensive portions... come experience Pinoy Sa-wrap, you will come back for more! 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

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

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

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

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

TikTok got me, I think I've gone 4 times, and each time, the price seems to be going up. Is it good? Sure. It's different. But... I think the price is now at $10. Is it $10 good for an oversized empanada? Probably not. I get that costs have gone up, especially for small businesses, but that price is a hard pill to swallow. But will I come back, maybe :) 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

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

I ordered the Beef Tapa and it was okay. The beef was a little dry. The food wasn't as hot as i'd like when I got it, which was disappointing because it was a long 30 minute wait. The portion size was good and the royal bibingka was yummy. Overall I think the wait and quality of food didn't match up. 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

Pinoy Sa-Wrap - Ilocos Empanadas w Vinegar Sauce - Filipino Near Me - Carson, California

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

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

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

Pinoy Sa-Wrap - Vigan Longganisa Bowl - Filipino Near Me - Carson, California

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

Pinoy Sa-Wrap - Lumpianada and tapsilog (Beef Tapa Meal) - Filipino Near Me - Carson, California

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

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

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

Long wait time for no reason as it was not busy at all. Workers at front not paying attention too busy on their phone to communicate with the people in the back that food was ready.

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

Ordered lumpianadas, tastes good with their I assumed home made vinegar. Two points I want to share with the lumpianadas. 1. The wrapper is quite big for the amount of meat and vegetable inside the wrapper. Hoping for more meat and vegetable on the first bite. 2. Too oily. Service is just a little slow for 5 pieces of lumpianadas, but the lady in front gave a heads up beforehand. Ambiance is an eye sore (the entrance part only). Hope you could improve especially the lumpianadas, please make it a little more special and unique. read more
