This weekday-only turo-turo counter wedged between Union Square and Tenderloin should be at the top of your list when you’re in the area and need a solid breakfast or lunch that’s likely to fill you up for the rest of the day. Portions are huge—a plate of chicken adobo, for example, comes with six bulky wings, a half-plateful of garlic rice, and an over-easy egg draped on top. Everything more than gets the job done, even with a few minor flaws like some dry bites of chicken and lumpia that could use a bit more filling. But with most dishes clocking in at less than $15, it’s a great value. The menu changes daily and the set-up is similar to what you’d expect at a cafeteria. Everything you pick out gets piled onto a tray. For the unfamiliar, the staff is more than happy to explain what dishes are available and provide samples, so don’t be shy about asking a lot of questions—it’s a part of the fun of eating here.
