It’s a nice food truck in the area, when you’re looking for good Filipino/island food I highly recommend this truck. Loved everything about it, the portion sizes of the plates were just right. Never had sausage that was so tender and sweet! Definitely will be back again.

Looking for authentic filipino food?! This is the place!!! I'm glad I found this place, service is A+. We ordered lechon kawali, pancit and turon and it all taste like home town food. Will come back for more. If you are in town you need to check Captain Adobo!

Very tasty Filipino Food. Ordered the Lechon Kawali. Generous portions with their achoite rice, mac salad, (2) lumpias and side of vinegar sauce for dipping. Also ordered the loaded lumpias meat filled with a sour sauce. Everything was delicious. I look forward to trying other menu items. This order was placed using UberEats App. Thank you!

Stopped here and ordered to go. It would have been more convenient if their menu online contains the crispy pata so it would just be hop off hop on and go. The crispy pata was great! It’s all you expect a crispy pata would be, crunchy skin and very soft meat, and the taste, love it! The java rice is great too! Savor it with the pata. I also ordered the bangsilog (java rice, bangus, sunny side up egg and 2 pieces of lumpia). The bangus was so tiny baby bangus and not boneless. A room for growth there. I would love to go back again for another round of the crispy pata and to try the other filipino foods in the menu.

Amazing food with the best duo chefing it up! Filipino flavors with a little razzle-dazzle! Would highly recommend to all! If you’re ever in Lakewood be sure to pull up and swing by! It will be worth it I promise! Made by passionate and loving people and you can feel the love that goes into the food! Don’t miss out!

Today was my first time com I ng here. When I approached, both the guy and gal greeted me. I was happy to see Lumpia offered but was really happy to see the Lechon Kawali. While I was ordering, the guy inside the truck offered me a taste of their Adobo Ribs. It tasted really good. The food is good and worth the price. The Lumpia is nice and crispy and the topping add an additional flavor. The Lechon is a nice and big plate. I couldn't finish it. The Pork Belly had a nice crunch, just could be a little more crispy. I will come back again for sure. Next time, will try the Adobo Ribs - which isn't on the menu.
