Hidden gem! First thing we noticed was how clean and spacious this place was. Greeted warmly by one of the staff members. We had fried calamari, Crispy pasta and Zarlitos' mixto fried rice. Calamari was good. Crispy pasta was perfect! Served with delicious garlic rice. The Zarlitos' rice was surprisingly, the flavors exceeded our expectations! Every had flavor and served at proper temperature. Enjoyed the whole experience! We'll be back! Highly recommend this place!!!

Food was excellent, just how I would make them at home. Lots of choices. Servers are polite and courteous, attentive. I will come back for another meal. Yummy!!!

Authentic Filipino food. I used to live in Cali and the Filipino food I remember eating would blast with flavor. I was expecting my taste buds to sizzle! Was flatly disappointed. Idk, maybe my memory played tricks on me or my palate changed. Probably the latter. Anyhow,,, Squid rings. They were fried and shriveled up, kinda tasted like fried chicken skin...now I like fried chicken skin, so don't get me wrong...they tasted great but was not what I expected. Expected crispy tender rings. Chicken adobo. My sister makes it better! Garlic fried rice. Now THAT was delicious! Never had it and loved loved loved it!! I'd come here just for the rice. Pancit. Well, again disappointed as the flavor fell flat for me. One thing that brighten up the night was the live karaoke. If you feel like you want to let go and don't care about embarrassing yourself, don't worry, everyone else will be embarrassed for you. But you'll have loads of fun !! 😆😆😆

If you’re looking for authentic, homemade Filipino food, Zarlitos is it. My friend and I ordered takeout, and eating this reminded me of going to a friend’s house and trying their parent’s delicious food. Disclaimer: if you are health conscious and do not like to eat pork, this review may not be for you, but don’t worry, as they have other options available! I always get the lechon combo from Zarlitos. You get pancit bihon, garlic fried rice, lumpia, and a generous serving of lechon kuwali. The lechon is crispy, melts in your mouth, and tastes great with the garlic fried rice and mang tomas sauce. This is Filipino soul food at its very finest, and I never leave Zarlitos feeling dissatisfied. The sisig plate is crispy, juicy, and has the right amount of zest and spice that makes this sisig great. This is a lot of pork to eat in one sitting, so I definitely recommend eating a portion of the meal and saving the rest for the next day. Zarlito’s generous servings, tasty food, and homey customer service always bring me back for more.

Everywhere, costs are going up and people need to be paid. This is how the Universe works. Meanwhile, Zarlitos manages to provide quality and value. If this does not work, try making it at home? Eating out is a treat. Zarlitos is comfort food, and they do it right.
Adobo is served all day... included in the menu as as a ala carte or as a breakfast option with egg and fried rice or as a lunch combination with rice/pancit with lumpia.
