Tocino plate
Axel P.

* Who: partner & I * What: random late lunch * When: Saturday a little past noon * Why: hungry after apartment touring * Space/Decor: in a small plaza that had plenty of parking when we arrived. Average space in the sense it's rectangular & like any mom/pop hole in the wall. You step in, tables to your right going all the way back, & left front side has cash register, sweets display, & water dispenser while the rest of the left was the kitchen. Menu was straightforward but could benefit from having a description in case you're not familiar (like my BF). * Service: the reason I'm docking by 1 star. The lady was nice, but not very attentive, & it wasn't like it was busy. We needed to ask or follow up on 2-3 things. My BF was eyeing some dessert when we were first ordering but she didn't try to sell it to us ‍ * Food: surprisingly good as it was both our first time there. He got the adobo bowl & the chicken was tender/juicy & pretty much fell off the bone. I got the tocino plate & the meat was flavorful with just the right amount of garlic in the rice. We also got one chicken skewer & one pork skewer, which was a bit smaller than I'm used to but the smoky flavor & tenderness was spot on. My only issue was the portion compared to the price. * Final Thoughts: mom/pop Filipino food that is great on flavor but leaves something to be desired with customer service. Would recommend & will return again for the food. * Final Grade: B+ or 8.5/10

I'm loving my BIBINGKINITAN

Good Filipino Barbecue's! They have Fish bbq too! TAHO with boba Recommended if you're craving for something different bbq tastes! The Filipino food okay!

Combo plate
Nhi R.

Combo plate came with three pork bbq skewers, rice, pickled veggies, sauce and a soup. The pork bbq was really good, paired with the sauce and pickled veggies - even better. I tried the chicken combo plate and it also was good. Food is made to order, expect a wait. There are plenty of tables to dine in and lots of parking.

wow what a gem in anaheim! The Best Filipino foods in the heart of this business Plaza. Freshly prepared BBQ combos and lots of items to choose from.It feels like home (Manila philippines) where you smell the aroma that's been prepared in the kitchen. They have the Best Pork BBQ and Lumpiang shanghai,it is a must have and also try to grab a bite of their bibingkinitan it is like bibingka and pancake in one! staff are so friendly and welcoming! We will be back for more

Chicken Inasal
Tere G.

Good food and Good service! The inasal and liempo are so delicious. Love the dipping sauce. Highly recommend!

The best chicken inasal,  a must try we drove all the from ontario just to try the chicken inasal and it did not disappoint

Taho To Go

After a long day at Disneyland, my friend reminded me of this place she saw on Instagram. We left DL and we got to the restaurant by 5ish. My friend and I were welcomed and told the staff that it was our first time. She told us the popular items so we ordered a Pork Skewer meal and a Chicken Inasal meal. We also ordered a Halo Halo, Taho and 3 Mini-Bibingkas. We ate our meals and for us, it was pretty good. The chicken was very tender and the pork skewers had a great flavor. We had the rest to go and ate some of it when we got home and the following morning. I appreciated the instructions of how to heat up their Taho which even Chowking doesn't even do. Will go back when we are in the area again. I'll try the seafood next time.

If you've never had Filipino BBQ before, I IMPLORE you to try Tony's BBQ. This was my first time, and one bite I was HOOKED, y'all. SO packed with flavor and everything just tastes so freshly prepared, no MSG and none of that bad stuff. Portions here are crazy good, it's basically double protein from what other places give you. I can totally see why the pork skewers are their bestseller here--SO tender and absolutely delectable--but my faves have got to be the liempo (pork belly) or the GIGANTIC chicken inasal (whole chicken leg). And apparently, people come from all over just for their taho, which is like a tofu pudding dessert??? Confirmed, 10 out of 10 ;) Thanks for reading! ^-^

Our Flavorful Filipino Feast.
Rich N.

What a hidden gem! Tony's Barbecue in Anaheim is a small Filipino restaurant serving up big, authentic flavors. We tried the grilled chicken and pork skewers, pork belly, and grilled seabass--all perfectly cooked and packed with flavor, served with rice on the side. To top it off, we ended the meal with their Halo Halo and fresh-from-the-oven soft bibingkinitan--such a perfect finish. Service was fast and friendly, and the prices are very reasonable. I'll definitely be coming back for another delicious, authentic Filipino meal!

Chicken inasal
Reggie M.

Haven't had inasal since I visited Negros Occidental in May. This surely satisfied my cravings! The only difference I found from eating this meal at a street food stand in Negros was the lack of crushed garlic to add to my rice and the use of calamansi instead of lemon. The chicken oil also seemed to be mixed with the rice already. The food and service were outstanding. Will be back!

My husband found this place online and wanted to try it, and we did on a Tuesday. Parking was a little tight, busy plaza too. Anyway, once inside it is a small restaurant with a few tables. You go up the counter to order and pick your own table. Easy ordering but that's it. The food took about 25-30 minutes to come out, the chicken inasal meal was good but the chicken was thin, the pork bbq was great and the sauce that comes with it. When our food was delivered we told the server we're only missing the bibingkinitan, server told us you get that from counter, which we were not told that information when we ordered. Service did not pass expectations, food was good but nothing to rave about. The lady at the counter looks stressed and overworked. Unless they hire more people to get the food going faster or think of a way to cook it faster, we sadly don't see ourselves coming back often.

Pork bbq meal #1
Martha R.

The food is amazing and instagramable. The flavor is not lacking at all and the price is definitely affordable. The location is tiny from the outside but spacious on the inside and the service is impeccable! They were friendly and welcoming! If you blink driving by you will miss it so don't blink! It's next to Circle K!

Pork BBQ Meal
Art S.

I was pleasantly surprised with Tony's! They were very busy and there was a little wait for my pickup order, but that's when you know the food is gonna be good. Next time, I'll call in my order. We ordered the Chicken Inasal, Pork Bbq, and Bibingka! All very delicious. The meals all come with sabaw, atchara, and sawsawan. I can't wait to go back and try the other entrees! The owner even sold me the last 2 bibingkas and gave me one for free. Thank you ate!

This was my significant other's first real introduction to silog so we had to hit the kamayan platter which lets you get a little taste of everything from garlic fried rice to tomato salad, lumpia, and a variety of protein options. At first bite, my significant other said he could have this for breakfast every day, haha. We also got the calamansi agua fresca and it was really refreshing.

If you come on a weekday, it actually was still pretty busy, but only a short 10 minute wait. Got the Milo and Ube cold brew for our drinks. Definitely recommend the Milo cold brew, reminds me of a mocha. For our food, we got the iloco moco, tapsilog, and Ube tres leches French toast. LOVE the tapsilog which was basically beef tapa, tomato salad, and egg on top of rice. It was so good, especially with the magi seasoning and their version of spiced vinegar provided on the table. Their French toast was also delicious, though I wish they provided more fruit. The first time I came here I ordered the Adobo Fried Rice Omelet which was alright, I felt the tapsilog had more flavor. The inside is pretty small and tight, but they are stroller friendly and accommodated the stroller. Also there is music playing and the ambiance is loud (people talking) so I didn't feel overwhelmed if my baby was crying. Definitely plan on coming here again for Filipino brunch food.

Free parking, great space that can handle a big group, and tasty dishes. Serving staff were a hit or miss, some were friendly and proactive, others were..... meh........Food itself was tasty, but for the price point (super expensive), I expected more protein. They were generous with the rice though. We ordered the crispy pata which seem to be the popular item for this place. It was super crispy with a light and crunchy skin which is a very hard process. It smelled delicious and can easily be cut into which is again, a difficult thing to do if done right. My only thing was that it looked big, but once it was cut it actually didn't have a lot of substance. The kare kare came in a big pot and the sauce was bountiful, but the protein (tendon, green beans, tripe) weren't a lot. Great presentation not a lot of substance. I want to support the place, but a bit disappointed.

My friend and I consider trying new buffets one of life's little pleasures. Whenever we come across…read morea restaurant that looks delicious, we save it and eventually make plans to visit together. I came across this restaurant on Instagram and had been wanting to try it. Since it's a regular restaurant that offers a buffet only on Wednesday evenings, we decided to visit on a Wednesday night to enjoy the buffet. They're open from 4 p.m. for the buffet, and we arrived around 5 p.m. The restaurant was already packed! It's a medium-sized restaurant, and fortunately, we only had to wait about five minutes before being seated. Before entering, we paid first and were told that the dining time was limited to 90 minutes. When we got to our table, I thought the neatly arranged placemat setting was adorable. The plates were wide, clean, and white. Unlike the stainless-steel or plastic plates you often see at buffets, these were ceramic, which I really liked. It made the whole experience feel a little more special--almost like we were being treated to something extra.There was a nice variety of beef, pork, and chicken dishes, and salmon was the main fish option. They had egg noodles, a beef soup dish, short ribs, and lobster!! There was also crispy fried pork skin with meat attached. Just thinking about it makes me want to go back and eat again. Haha. As I was making my way through the food selections, someone who I believe was the owner kindly struck up a conversation and asked if it was my first time there. When I said it was, they welcomed me and told me to enjoy the food. For drinks, there was water and tea. The tea was on the sweeter side. I didn't ask whether other drinks were available to order. I had a lovely time chatting with the gentleman at the table next to us while enjoying our meal. The owner also kept coming by to check on us and make sure we were enjoying everything. Haha. Our plates were cleared quickly, too. The overall atmosphere felt like being invited over to a friend's house for a meal. Cozy, warm, and family-oriented! It had a kind of welcoming vibe that's hard to find at restaurants these days, and we had such a pleasant and enjoyable evening. I was especially happy because my friend enjoyed the food so much, too! Overall, almost everything was delicious, but the roast beef was particularly good. I also really enjoyed the lumpia. The lobster was probably somewhere in the middle in terms of flavor, but honestly, expecting too much from a $38 buffet would make me feel like I was asking for the impossible. Haha. You can really taste the care that goes into each dish, and the overall quality was impressive. I'm already wishing Wednesday would come around so I can go back!

We already know their food items…read morehere are of good quality and taste delicious and we also experience great and friendly service whenever we dine here. We have held a baby shower party for our daughter here and she and her husband were happy with the turnout and the outcome then. With such wonderful experience here, we decided to celebrate my wife's milestone birthday with a buffet lunch here last Saturday, July 25. I really appreciate the great collaboration through easy communication and coordination with Jenny, their manager here. She helped me ensure all went well from preparation to execution of the celebration. Almost all our guests raved about how good and delicious the foods were, even their lemongrass iced tea, which a lot of them loved. The costs were fair and reasonable as well as some special accommodations and a couple of complimentary food items by the owner for us for hosting our party here at their Mekeni Restaurant. Thank You and Kudos to the staff for their friendly, consistent, reliable and great overall service their crew and staff rendered to us that day. The team was headed by Jenny, Vanessa and Robert! Aside from the fact that they could have had more electric fans there that day to regulate the uncomfortable warm temperature inside the restaurant that day, everything else went very well and wonderful. We highly recommend Mekeni Pinoy's Pride for dining in, picking up and also having parties to celebrate special events. Let us all continue supporting this Filipino restaurant which makes truly very good quality and delicious Filipino dishes at reasonable prices! Let's Come on down to Mekeni's!

The beef ribs were really good, big and properly cooked, the kind of meat you actually talk about on the way home. The galbi was right there with them, savory and satisfying, and between the two we were set. The kids loved the spam musubi. That alone would have made the stop worth it for us. Spam musubi is one of those things that either works for kids or turns into a negotiation, and here there was no negotiation. They were happy, which meant the adults got to eat in peace for a minute. Dessert sealed it. They have a version of Dole Whip that tastes just like Disneyland. I am not being cute about that. Same soft, cold, pineapple hit you remember from the park, which is a wild thing to get after a plate of ribs in Anaheim. We finished full and already half-planning the next visit. One caveat: it was really smoky inside. Enough that I noticed it the whole meal. If I could give 4.5 I would, but I'm rounding up because the food was that good. Portions felt solid for a plate-lunch place, the vibe was casual and family-friendly, and nothing about the meal felt fussy. If you want Hawaiian-style BBQ with kids in tow, this is still an easy yes. Five stars.

The noodles were all right. The chicken skewer was dry, while the pork skewer was slightly better. I was under the impression that Filipino BBQ sauce would have a different, maybe better flavor than American BBQ sauce, but for some reason, it tasted pretty similar to me. That made the food a little less appealing. I'm also not big on ready-to-serve food that's been sitting out and then reheated. Dare I say, Panda Express might have been a better choice because at least they'll cook a fresh batch if you're willing to wait 10-15 minutes. At least then you're getting food that's nice and hot instead of something that's been reheated. The lady who boxed my food didn't seem to know the meaning of a smile. She was pretty grumpy and gave me really short answers when I asked questions about the food. She acted like I was bothering her. I get it--maybe she was just having a bad day. But there was no one else in the shop, so you'd think she'd be happy to see a customer come in. She just gave me weird vibes. Probably not coming back.
