I got the sisig empanadas and pork belly sandwich. Sisig empanadas: Maybe I don’t know how empanadas are normally, but this was just too doughy for me. Filling to dough ratio was not great for me. Flavor was pretty decent and I enjoyed it otherwise. If there was a bunch of cilantro to eat on the side instead of garnish I’d like that more. I did have high expectations after reading all the reviews though, and I have only found maybe one or two places where I liked their empanadas. Pork Belly Sandwich: Decent portion of meat and relatively worthwhile price. I would’ve appreciated maybe a tad better distribution or portion of meat though. Could fill me up for a meal and great $10 ish lunch after tax. Flavor of the pork belly was alright, although the texture wasn’t fantastic (I didn’t like the way it was cooked). It was a bit gummy but maybe that’s the intention. Cole slaw filling was interesting. The sandwich overall was reminiscent of banh mi, although quite different which is where the “fusion” might be. Again, I think it would taste better with more cilantro. I had to wait maybe 10 minutes for my order because it was fairly busy for lunch. Overall it’s one of the better choices to eat out for lunch for the price near the courthouse. I would recommend it if you’re in the area. I’d come back and maybe try one of their normal plates. Interior was interesting but felt lacking in design. Maybe could fill their walls with more decoration, but they had neat vintage photos. Plenty of seating I think. Soy sauce and vinegar on the side near the soda fountain and can ask for sriracha packs, but other sauces are extra.
Delicos authentic and flavorful and not to costly. Great place for Filipino cuisine.
Hubby and I were in Stockton to give a training. Craving for Filipino food, we came here for lunch. We ordered lechon kawali, bangus and dinuguan meals with turon and halo-halo. Food was alright, although the lechon kawali and the turon weren’t the best. Lechon kawali was bland and not too crunchy as I expected it to be. Turon had a soggy banana inside. Staff were pleasant and served well. Space was big but their color black seemed a bit depressing to me. I hope they’ll brighten it up with some nice large wall accents.
The first time I went was a weekday at lunch - took forever to find parking and then there was a 30 min wait for food. I went back on a weekend and ordered ahead and this went much faster! I needed to add multiple sides of vinegar (free on the side) and then I was a pretty happy camper. Place is clean and service was good.
Great place! Today we ordered Sisig Empanadas. $4.50 for an order of 2, and I'm satisfied. Check out the Filipino American National Historical Society Museum next door. Open Saturdays by appointment.
