Excellent customer service with delicious meals and plenty of options on their menu. This is our second time dining at Locavore but first time at Brixton Street in Estancia location. Customer service at Brixton Street, Estancia is consistent with the BGC location. The staff is also very well versed with food allergies. The staff was great every step of the way from seating, to ordering, to delivering our orders on a timely manner and until the very end. Our party of 11 ordered 2 of everything like to name a few of what we ordered are, Pakbet Ratatouille, Octadobo, Oyster Palabok sa Puti, Tapsilog, Boneless Lechon Belly, Dragonfruit chips and many more. We look forward to dining at Locavore every time we visit Philippines. Locavore both provided delicious food and excellent customer service.

I'd been wanting to try Filipino food, and this place came highly recommended by some locals. The food was incredible. I tried the sizzling sinigang, and it completely surprised me. The flavor was sour, savory, and comforting all at once. I also had the oyster sisig, which was crispy, rich, and perfect with a cold San Miguel beer. Every dish came out hot and well-presented. The restaurant itself has a great vibe!!! lively but not too loud. The staff were really friendly and helpful, especially since I wasn't too familiar with Filipino dishes. They explained what everything was and even suggested a few must-tries. I'd definitely recommend it to anyone visiting the Philippines. And I'll definitely come back next time!

This was the part of Tiendesitas that I was most excited about. Sadly, it didn't live up to my…read moreexpectations. It's just that my idea of a food village was a thriving market place with stalls overflowing with native delicacies. The place was not busy when we got there. Some crews were setting up for a concert. But even with that kind of free event, the place just wasn't buzzing, and that was a Friday. Maybe it has something to do with the time we went there (pre-dinner) and that some of the stalls were closed. The stalls that were open were pretty impressive. Most of them sold locally grown products and native delicacies that you wouldn't see in supermarkets. I liked the store that sold durian ice cream and organic fruit juices. I wanted to try the restaurants there, but we just ate before going to Tiendesitas, so we bought some Pinoy snacks instead (cornick, banana chips, chicharon, etc.). I wasn't really satisfied with my trip here. But that only means one thing: I should go back and stay longer next time. I hope there will be more stores and people then.

I've only recently been to Tiendesitas and it's just because we picked up my brother from NAIA late…read moreat night. We were looking for a place to grab dinner and he was seriously craving Filipino food after a month in Singapore eating chicken rice. PROS: We find the interiors really cute with all those colorful paper lanterns and vintas on the ceiling; The place is a wide open space with a lot of seats and industrial fans and mist machines. So it's not much of a big deal that there's no air conditioning. Or maybe it's because we went there during night time and it's less hot; The food establishments are a monolith of Pinoy food and grilled choices to accompany your beer; There was a band playing that night, and they would let the audiences volunteer if they want to perform. CONS: I know it's the Pinoy trademark that we offer good customer service, but don't you just hate it when vendors and staff get all over your face to hawk and peddle their restaurant to you? It just makes it all the more confusing and irritating for us to choose a place to eat. Like, excuse me, stop pressing your menu on my face. TL;DR: Tiendesitas Food Village is an over-all fun place with so many choices for food and drinks, plus live entertainment.

The dishes were shared equally among five people, and even then we had some for leftovers. We had chicharron bulaklak for our appetizer and it taste similar to the ones you'd find on the street, but made from cleaner ingredients. Our main entrees consisted of kare kare ( beef stew with peanut sauce), sisig (a skillet of pork and chicken), crispy pata (deep fried pig parts) and Filipino paella. The Filipino paella was absolutely delightful and it was enjoyed by everyone in my group. They made it Filipino style by adding tocino. The rice was also seasoned Filipino style and toasted to the perfect crunchiness. I highly recommend this dish. The other dishes were decent, but not as good as I expected. The kare kare seemed to lack too much of the peanut butter taste, which is needed to characterize the kare kare taste. The sisig was also lacking flavor, which I think stems from the meat used. Maybe it was a healthier version? The crispy pata was great and crispy! But the accompanying sauce needed more taste and kick to perfect the crispy pata. On the other side, their shakes were wonderful. We ordered all types of shakes and not only did they look beautiful, they tasted divine. For example, the mango and cheese shake is a weird combination, but they made it blend in the creamiest way. The shakes here are something that can be rarely found elsewhere! So for those on a budget but crave a bit of elegance, stop by here. It is also not as crowded as other malls yet since Vertis is so new!

They are better with Lechon Kawali Chips. For dessert, the Iday was very good. However, it's served skewered in a glass drinking cup. The suman was too hard to get out from the cup. I have to come back here on my next visit to try more dishes. Note: I put my bag on the floor next to one of the tall air conditioners inside. It got wet. The AC leaked water. It was a bit annoying. Staff wasn't very apologetic about it. They said they would 'look into it.'

On a recent visit I had the Manyamang Beef Asado, which was a nice hearty slice of beef with excellent flavors, I also had the Baby Squid Rice, which complemented the beef dish with its more subtle flavors, although still very rich. The customer service was attentive and the ambiance felt polished, but still comfortable. This restaurant is a bit on the expensive side, but you are paying for the higher quality.

The fun is inventive with a hint of traditional. We had the okoy, spring rolls, adobo 3 ways, binagongan fried rice, kapampangan sisig and because of the Thai folds around the place some pad thai which was surprisingly spicy! Good flavors, tender when it needs to be and crispy when it should be. The only complaint was it was a bit too salty and the portion was small which is okay if you re a small party but any party 5 or more would need to order a couple of the same plates for everyone to get a taste. Service was okay and friendly but super slow. I would recommend a try. Parking is nuts!

Came here to eat my last lunch before heading back to the states and the food was fantastic…read more Service was nice as well, and the food came out quickly. We ordered half of the mama chit special, a small crispy pata and a family size of their cream of mishroom soup. To begin with their crispy pata was just out of this world. The skin was rediculously crunchy. As tho it had a hard shell. Then you break into the meat and its melt in your mouth goodness. The meat was almost as soft as a sea cucumber. Requiring very little effort to bite and breakdown. The flavor too was just amazing!!! The half platter of mama chit special was a lot and there was 3 of us there. They had 3 different types of whole fish, 2 fried, 1 steamed. Fried plantains and other vegetables. Fish balls. Fried pork belly and other offerings with multiple sauces. The cream of mushroom soup was ok. Id give it a 3 out of 5 star. It was a big bowl. Didnt even finish half the bowl. It just wasent that good. It was creamy but maybe just wasent in the mood for it. But brought it home. I also ordered a drink. Dont know the name but it had white boba balls and green gelatinous cubes with ice. The drink was fantastic!!! Sweet but not overly sweet and extremely refreshing. Overall it was a nice experience. I left feeling full and satisfied. Truly authentic Filipino food.

They all come in different shapes, sizes, tastes and after-tastes. But only one restaurant fulfills my craving every time - Barrio Fiesta. Now I know that there are a lot of Barrio Fiesta's around the Metro especially those located in malls. But do trust me when I say, that this Edsa brand is the only branch you should come visit. The places used to be a lot bigger but they remodeled it a few years ago to look a lot more modern with ample parking spaces and better food presentation. The food, however, is still 5-star for me. Kare-kare is cooking with the perfect consistence and the amazing mixture of peanut sauce that can make for a meal in itself. Tender beef and fresh vegetables are always a plus as I have never found myself complain about this dish - ever. Other dishes that are worst mentioning are Crispy Pata, Bangus ala Pobre and Binagaoong. Can;t wait to be back here again.

Unfortunately the place they were renting that time was taken by the owner of the place and was made out to be another restaurant. Luck was on their side as a bigger lot was available near by but like in any other business, this is a risk since location plays a big role in an establishment's success. The loyal customers, myself included, followed them in their new home and I'm happy to report that to this day they are still thriving and have other branches now too. They're known for their Goto and I'm sure everyone has their own preference with regards to that or a place where they usually get it and this one's mine. I've let others try their goto as well and they liked it too. So give it a shot, maybe this is your next Goto place.
