A hidden gem of Bowmanville. We ordered pancit, beef kare kare, pork skewers and vegetable lumpia. The portion sizes were great, hot and fresh. If you've never tried filipino food I highly suggest ordering from Cantina Pinoy.

Wow, what a treat for the taste buds! We enjoyed tender, juicy and succulent chicken adobo, and a delicious and massive serving of pancit. Great service, amazing value and most excellent food!

Very well appointed kitchen at this take out. Excellent sinigang (not oily like other places). Chicken Adobo is amazing.
