Tita Becca's is fabulous! If you're looking for delicious, authentic Filipino dishes, this is the place! Took my wife here, she moved here from the Philippines four years ago and we're always searching for great Filipino places. Glad we found this one, it's the most authentic one yet in the entire Bay Area! My wife ordered the Lechon Kawali with rice and also the Sinigang. Both dishes were perfect. I'm a white guy and can be a bit picky. The menu said if you have any special requests to please ask. I love Chicken Sisig and can't usually find it, but the chef on duty, Mark, who is Tita Becca's son, was more than happy to make it special for me. He said it would take a little longer for him to prepare it, and it really didn't seem that long at all, and i would've been just as happy to wait longer for this perfect meal! Best Chicken Sisig I've ever had, plus rice and of course this white guy had to get lumpia too! It was so fresh and delicious as well. Mark kept coming out to check on us even though there was one young guy running the front, and we had ideal seats at the end of the counter. We had to finish off the meal with Halo Halo. Once again, another winner. My wife thought it wasn't sweet enough so Mark gave us a cup of some special sweetened condensed milk as well as some table sugar for us to add to it as we liked! Great food, great conversations with Mark and the other staff. A lot of people showed up while we were there. Can't wait to go back soon! We came all the way from Brentwood and will definitely be back. Love the fact that they're open until 2am on the weekends since we usually eat late. read more

Authentic, purely Filipino food. I believe the owners are Kapampangan. Immediately felt like a family energy coming in, like your Auntie and cousins are cooking with nieces and nephews around. We posted the crispy lechon, pancit bihon with lumpia and rice. We waited about 20 minutes after ordering. Guested were seated at the bar, and there were a range of tropical canned juices as well. The vibe was very Filipino, with nice Filipino music playing from an upstairs section closed off to guests, where the restroom is located. When passing through to use the restroom, the cooks warmly said hello. Progress updates on our order were provided amidst our wait, and each item was individually placed into our to-go containers. Before sending us on our way with a smile. Parking was super easy, with parking right near the restaurant. Seating and vibe of the spot is very casual, with diner style seating as well as seating along the windows. Very low key. The spot is identifiable by the half Filipino sun, which shows 4 of the 8 rays of the Philippines flag. Portions were well balanced with what we ordered. I'll definitely be coming back to try their Kaldareta, Sinigang, Adobo and Halo Halo over the course of time. Located in Downtown Oakland, Tita Becca's is located near a bar, and is open late. I hope this helps them and that many people come to try them out. For American born Filipino, Tita Becca's will give you a sense of familiarity of foods your Grandparents or Aunts, Uncles or Mom prepared for us all our lives in childhood abc at family parties. Support this business. See you guys again soon! Keep up the good work. read more

So good! For our second experience, we ordered delivery, and it was just as delicious as dining there. Highly recommend the Bicol Express (we got it with pork) -- absolutely 10/10. It had great flavor and just the right amount of heat. Our order also included: * Garlic rice - delicious * Lumpia - 8/10 * Chicken adobo - 8/10 I'm so stoked that Filipino food is becoming more available, and even better, that it's good Filipino food! Our first visit was in person, and we sat at the window. It was a fun spot for people-watching. I've seen several restaurants come and go in this location, but I'm really rooting for Tita Becca's. Once people taste the food, I honestly don't think they'll have any trouble building a loyal following. Highly recommend! read more

I have been here a couple of times. Food is fine. The service could be better. This could just be growing pains. This would not deter me from going back but it is something worth noting. read more

A new neighborhood gem for no frills, tita made Filipino food. I played it safe and got the tocino with garlic rice and a side of lumpia. Everything was absolutely delicious, and the staff was so kind. Excited to try some other dishes including dessert soon! read more

Out of all the Filipino restaurants in the bay this place has the best tasting lumpia. When I found out they make it fresh that same day and not use frozen lumpia from the grocery store like a lot of other restaurants do they became my go to for lumpia. It's as close to home cooking as it can get. I highly recommend this place their Kaldereta and ox-tail kare kare are worth trying. Their staff are very friendly and the vibes are chill. read more

I walked by this restaurant and couldn't help but walk in when I heard the sounds of my people playing: Original Pilipino Music! it's got a diner vibe, there are some soda can drinks. The lechon kawali looked fantastic and I tried the bicol express + tofu sisig! Cravings fulfilled! Next time I definitely wanna try the adobo wings and halo halo! Can't wait to go back! read more

My family of 4 had high hopes for this restaurant and genuinely wanted to support a new Filipino establishment. Unfortunately, our experience was disappointing due to significant service delays and food timing issues - entrees arrived before appetizers. We visited on a Sunday and arrived at 4:45 p.m. Although the posted hours indicated open 12-6:30pm, there was a handwritten sign stating, "Sorry, we will open at 5 p.m." Fortunately, the wait was short. Once seated, it was unclear whether orders were taken at the table or at the register, so we eventually went to the register to place our order. We ordered the adobo wings, Pampangan sisig, sinigang, and lechon kawali. The biggest challenge was the timing of the food. It took an hour for the lechon kawali to arrive, and it was served lukewarm. It was also the only dish that arrived at that time, and we did not yet have plates and rice. We had to request plates twice before receiving them. Despite the temperature issue, the lechon itself was flavorful and the skin had a crispy texture. About 10 minutes later, the sinigang arrived piping hot. The sabaw was flavorful with a spicy kick, and the pork portions were generous. However, it felt light on vegetables, with only minimal sitaw and onions. Another 10 minutes later, the first appetizer, Pampangan sisig, finally arrived. Typically, sisig is served hot and sizzling, but ours was cold when it reached the table. 10 minutes after that (total of 1.5 hrs wait), the adobo wings (second appetizer) arrived last. The wings themselves were tasty as regular wings, but the adobo flavor did not stand out. Overall, we wanted to like this place and were prepared to be patient as a newer restaurant works through growing pains. There is definitely potential in the food itself, but the extended wait times, dishes arriving out of order, and food being served at inconsistent temperatures made for a frustrating dining experience. Improving communication, service flow, and food timing would go a long way toward creating a better customer experience. read more

Authentic Filipino food! Tastes like a warm hug from your Lola--it tastes like home. And that's the real definition of comfort food. The service was good, didn't have to wait too long and the owners are humble, kind, hospitable locals. The vibe is giving late-night diner but make it Pinoy style with r&b music playing. It's a whole vibe! I don't know about y'all, but being able to get Kare Kare or Lumpia or Sisig whenever I crave it, even if it's at midnight is a W for me. I highly recommend giving Tita Becca's a try for authentic, home cooked Filipino food. You won't be disappointed! Dali, kain na! read more

My partner and I have come to Tita Becca's a few times for a post-bar snack, but this time we made a special trip to have dinner and the food did not disappoint. I ordered the silog rice plate and it was delicious. The tocino and longanisa were cooked perfectly and had a slight sweetness that went well with the fried egg and garlic rice. We also ordered the lumpia which was also fried to perfection. My partner had the Bicol express and was happy with their dish as well. I didn't get a chance to snap a picture before they demolished it. I'm so happy that we have a Filipino restaurant in this part of town. Definitely recommend coming down to check it out. The owner Mark is super sweet and down to earth and fries up chicken perfectly! read more

That oxtail kare kare and the bicol express. Shout to these folks for doing the work to put home cooking on the table. I support this business because it was unpretentious and tasty. read more

Avoid this place, It's terrible---Well, I will let you, the reader, judge. The wait was over an hour for just three orders. When the first order arrived, it came without spoons, forks, plates, or napkins. By the time the second order was served, I had to ask for the utensils myself.The restaurant serves small portions, and by Filipino standards, the taste of all the food we ordered was very mediocre--nothing was outstanding. To make matters worse, they even forgot to bring out one of our dishes. The halo-halo was tasteless and lacked ingredients.I said at the beginning that I would let the reader judge, but I can't help saying this: this is by far the worst Filipino restaurant I have ever been to for both food and service. You have to ask for almost everything because the staff doesn't even seem to know what they have or haven't served yet. read more

So went by to Tita Becca's over the weekend since we were in the Berkeley area all day and I'm fond of trying new Asian places, especially Filipino places. We came away quite disappointed, the food was way too oily, especially the Bicol Express. It lacked authenticity, felt like it was made by someone without much expertise. The rice was also probably leftover rice, some of it was burnt. Parking is street parking, $3 per hour in the daytime. read more

Man, I'll tell you the vibes from the people there makes you feel right at home. Food was great and I definitely recommend trying everything from the menu. read more

Hours are cap. Online they claim to be open until 2am on Saturday nights, but when I pulled up at 9pm, they were so beyond closed.

Had high hopes for this spot as a Filipina. But everything missed the mark. The music they played was the best thing about Tita Becca's. The food wasn't good, we ordered lechon kawali, bistek, lumpia shanghai, and garlic rice. The lechon was chewy and not crispy. The bistek was missing that citrusy flavor and the meat was very tough. The lumpia had an off putting taste. Can't say anything bad about the garlic rice, it was pretty much the star of the show. I also find it strange that the share plates and silverware came well after the entrees.? That should've been on the table before any of the food lol I hope this place can improve everything from service, to food quality, and timeliness. I want them to succeed as long as they're willing to put in the effort to better themselves! read more

I came here few times and never disappoints. I love me some home cook Filipino food, and Tita Becca's always delivered. My favorite from Tita Becca's is the Kare-Kare and the Crispy Pata with rice and the Mang Tomas hittttsss! Service is always friendly and welcoming. Ambience can be busy in some days and some days its relaxed and peaceful. I went on a day that was so busy and a different time when it wasn't. Service is so fast when it isn't rush hour time. Definitely will reccomend family and friends that wan' to try home cook Filipino food in the town. read more

Food took over 45 minutes to come out and it wasn't even busy. They didn't warn us it would take a long time either. They also charge for water even if you dine in. Pass read more
