Tagpuan - San Jose del Monte

These meal are cheap, small and as basic as it gets. The pork belly was amazingly good. If you’re a big eater, order two meals.

Not enough tables and chairs. If you plan to eat here make it just to go food. I expect a lot from this resto.

It's the cheapest place to eat in the area. Nothing great rice toppings. 2-3 tablespoonful of meat on a cup of rice. That's it. Photos were deceiving. We were looking for a resto only to find a sidewalk with chairs and tables. A self serve...hole in a wall. Literally! It's popular because its the cheapest place to eat.

It is a simple streetside grocery store with a simple menu, nothing imagination. Do not expect retired food service, more like a fast food self service experience. We tried the Bagnet rice meal, and to supplement the ilocano experience, used Bagoong with kaalamansi to... taste to the bagnet and rice. It has a clean as you policy as courtesy go to the next set of customers. On the bottom it has a limited space that limits the number of din in the customer.

The staff would always say no. We arrived at 7:40 to eat and they wouldn't allow to take orders. They don't serve water. You ask for tissue if you need one. This is a self-service food stand. I wouldn't call it a restaurant... more of a meal. You'll eat outside. The food tastes good, and it should be because it is a bit expensive.
