Used to work at 201 Mission and whenever Senor Sisig was at a truck stop nearby, lines were LONG. It was always worth it. Glad that my Filipino brothers are making it happen. Congrats Gil and Evan!
For those who are wondering, the place mentioned at the end of the video is called "El Chupacabra" and the taco is literally named "San Francisco-Style Pork Sisig". And yes, it does taste wonderful.
@R R i think you answered your own question. do not also forget that phillipines and mexicans are primarily located in CA and typically live within each other's communities. i have a ton of filipino friends and we have a lot in common
@R R TRUTH. The stuff mexicans do, Filipinos do across the globe. Cesar Chavez built off the work of Filipinos in striking and organizing. Gotta recognize the similarities.
This feature is WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY overdue! This food truck is a gem in downtown SF. The food is so flavorful, so succulent, I used to have to time my breaks and lunches just right so I wouldn’t be in line for an hour. It’s that good!
Good shit, man! That's what it's all about. Keeping the roots alive and well by growing them and expanding them. Had traditional sisig AND a Spanish inspired sisig taco in Manila. Both equally good and still grounded in culture
@@ramiroflores4543 word. Said Spanish because it was in a Spanish restaurant called La Picara ran by a Spanish couple from Spain. No disrespect intended. awesome.blog/2019/06/la-picara.html
i watched a video of señor sisig being featured 7 years ago and they still have 1 truck and they prepared their ingredients inside and i am soooo glad and proud to see they have grown a lot!!!
Proud of you kapatid!! Bringing filipino food in US..introducing our food..we have the guts to do it because we know we have a lot to offer..im from candaba pampanga..proud of you!!
I just watched a show that they made 7 years ago amd they're making everything on themselves and now they have people to do it. Such a great story! Congrats. 💖
I’m married to a Chinese from the Philippines and the first time I tries cucig I though it tasted like Mexican food ...carnitas lol Then I learned about the Mexican influence in Filipino food that happened during the colonial period.
but where do you see Mexicans taking a Filipino dish and base there whole business off it and just switching up the meats and claiming its a Mexican dish, they really pretty much opened up a mexican restaurant and put Filipino colors around , I just showed my wife who is asian the pictures on yelp of this place and with out me saying a word she said " what's its a mexican restaurant "then I explained to her and she was shocked and said "No way" go figured
Manilla Sunset Grille here in Fontana, California showed me alot about the culture and opened up my food wants. Everything I have ordered is amazing! The Lechon Sisig is my fav but it is hard to determine an actual favorite with so many dishes. Loving the Bay Area (San Jose born) for filling everyones belly with some great taste. I will definitly find these guys (Senor Sisig) when I go back home to visit. Food looks amazing.
My first bite of their Senor Sisig burrito was mind blowing! The flavors just explode in your mouth. The Sisig taste stands out and that’s where most of the delicious flavors are coming from. This is a must try if you’re in the Bay Area.
This video has given me the courage to try cooking some Filipino food. I live in an area where that's not a cuisine we see any of, but man that looks good I've got a pork shoulder in my kitchen to give this a try today! Well, perhaps tomorrow if I'm going to let it marinade overnight. 48 hours is a long time!
Gil and Evan... congratulations on all of your success. Good to see more people taking notice of Filipino food! Keep up the great work! Can’t wait to come back to the Bay soon... first stop Señor Sisig in the Mission🤙🏻
They got the fire!!! They be at Oakland off the grid🔥🔥 I love their sisig burritos the fries 🤤 Daly City is also known as little Manila I’m from Oakland lol born and raised.
Man. Wish I could taste that. Ironically, I'm in the Philippines (far from Makati). Sure there's other sisig here (and an actual sisig burrito from Army Navy), but I still wish I could taste their version.
Bro I was driving threw west LA area and I seen a place that said Mexican food with a splash of soul food, I love that all these other cultures love our food so much 👊🏼
@@danny8739 hey im mexican. its fine by me if people of whatever race wants to make mexican food. Just think people are hypocrites when they cry foul when they see a white person with dreadlocks
Spur of the moment. Drove from San Jose to the one in Oakland yesterday and had a tocino sisig w/ rice. Staff was really cool and the building was beautiful on the outside! Today we had found out the we could order on DD! So good to try the burrito! Was really feeling w/ rice but i had to try the burrito.
I absolutely love their sisig burritos and their ube horchata! They used to have a carry-out restaurant near san jose where I live, but its gone 😢 I highly recommend it!
Hell yeah. Love where I live! And love when The Bay is shown in this way🔥 I’m in the East Bay Area so I may have to take a 30 min drive and see for myself what it’s all about👌
Was waiting for the call out on the proud Filipinos that get mad at the food not being "authentic." That's every Filipino food video on RU-vid. The only people hating on Filipino food is... other Filipinos.
I've always been skeptic about the recipe (though I've never really tried it), but the moment I saw the pineapple in the marinade, I know it will be good. It will have a sweet taste. Not the usual Sisig taste but it's a good base ingredient for a Filipino marinade. I've always wondered though why PORK BELLY is not used instead. If they use it (with the skin intact) instead of the shoulder, it'll have that crunchy chicharon texture. There are restaurants in the Philippines that serve sisig that's pure belly. I'm fine with a sisig that has no parts from the head.
Is he talking about El Chupacabra in Poblacion Makati. Been there and it’s actually good. I didn’t know that they were inspired by Senior Sisig. Daaaaamn.
Yo that story at the end about the bar in the Philippines was really special. Ready to be vaccinated and go out to the Bay Area to try this place. Great story, thanks for sharing!
