Ludi's Pacific Barbecue - Yuma

Wonderful sisig and adobo. Perfect spot to stop for lunch. Great Filipino flavors and good bang for your buck. New favorite spot in Yuma!

I am half pinay, and I grew up eating Filippino food.Summary: The only thing worth ordering is the Pork Inasal. It’s barbecue pork on a stick. The only other reason to order from here is if you want to try some unique cuisine, but I DO NOT think this is a great example of our cuisine. Our cuisine can be much, much better than this.Attached picture is lumpia that cost $1 on DoorDash. It is TINY. They use incredibly small lumpia wrappers and I felt that the pork filling needed salt and or soy sauce. They also default to using some spicy banana sauce (I didn’t get any option) which is sad, because I think plain banana sauce is wayyy better.All of the food is quite bland compared to what I know and cook, as taught by my full Filippina mother.Adobo very pale and flavor is not strong. I imagine the cvs Ickes is par cooked bland for use in different recipes, so it doesn’t have a lot of time to soak up adobo flavor. I still liked it tho. Chicken was cooked through and tender. It needed some thick adobo sauce, or something to make it more… bold.Pancit alright, but nothing special. Also bland, one tiny thin lemon for the whole serving.Lechon quite lame. Tasted very unseasoned, had been sitting out a bit so the skin was chewy, and MANY parts were over cooked to the point that it was inedible hard jerky.White rice on the side was cooked WELL. It was actually pretty soft and cooked through! Most places get it too dry so it’s not soft.Fried rice was VERY plain.Everything felt like the recipe needed 40% more soysauce and garlic.I’d rather go through the work of making lumpia myself. This place just isn’t worth it besides the bbq pork. They must use a glaze on it before bbq because it is VERY flavorful and great.

Went for lunch, was greeted instantly. She walked me through the menu and offered the favorites and daily special. Food was great and the service was excellent. Appears to be family run. Don’t miss an opportunity to eat here.

My family stopped here on our way to San Diego. We ordered a variety of different things and every dish was excellent. If I lived in town, I’d be making this joint a weekly visit!

LOVE LOVE LOVE It’s so great to have a delicious option! We love the boodle fight variety and flavors and it feeds so many people. I also had to poke and it was delicious!
