€€€€Price: Expensive

• Filipino • South Philly

Booked 28 times today

Tabachoy is a Tagalog nickname given to a friend or family member; it means chubby or fatty. We know it sounds mean, but Filipinos give each other inappropriately appropriate nicknames all the time. Your baby brother’s got some neck rolls? Tabachoy. Auntie’s six months pregnant? Tabachoy. Or your dad’s got a six pack, but just finished his third piece of bibingka? Tabachoy!We cook the food that got us made fun of in elementary school, when we opened our country crock “Tupperware” - the food that reminds us of home. We don't strive to make a better adobo than your mothers, but we do want to share ours with you.

This was a thoroughly enjoyable dinner. The food was solid but the service was impeccable. After finding out it was my birthday, one of the three birthdays in the restaurant, they went above and beyond with a delicious piece of cake and an entertaining singing performance. It made for a really fun evening.

Look no further. This is where you want to eat for the best hoagies & sandwiches. It’s not just your ordinary hoagie they mix flavors that are so yummy and enhance the overall taste. Their Friday family style dinner is out of this world. U won’t leave hungry that’s for sure. Peter the chef and his staff are so friendly and welcoming. You feel like you’re at a Sunday family dinner. Love everything about Paesanos. You will too
