“This is one legit Filipino skewer joint!”
Four stars. Skewers were about $1 each and self-serve, pre-cooked and rewarmed on outdoor grills, with a $10 card minimum and warm service from the husband-and-wife owners.
A National City outpost of the Filipino fast-food chain, where Roger's terse 'bleh...' undercut an otherwise middling 3-star rating -- one of his earliest logged reviews, from 2008.
Roger liked this National City Filipino spot for its cheap, filling combo plates -- about $6-7 for a selection of dishes plus a big portion of rice -- and called the food less greasy and fresher-tasting than some competitors in the area, including nearby Tita's Kitchen.

A National City sit-down Filipino restaurant Roger rated 4 stars, calling the food "bomb" and praising its late hours as a great alternative to taco shops or Denny's, with cheap, huge, food-coma-inducing portions and friendly service.
