Filipino Style Burritos & Tacos from the Bay Area | Street Food Icons

- Опубликовано: 3 фев 2021
- Childhood friends Gil and Evan are the duo behind Señor Sisig, a Filipino-inspired taco and burrito food truck that serves the Bay Area. Their food truck started in 2010 and today has grown to 6 trucks and a brick and mortar restaurant in San Francisco. The main attraction on their menu is their sisig, a traditional Filipino pork dish that Gil learned to make from his father. The two talk about risking it all to pursue their dream, including Evan, who left his rap career behind to work in the food world.

Evan doesn't have to worry about not being Filipino, anybody that digs our food and exposes it to a wider audience is an honorary Filipino
Dude it’s Mexican food with a Filipino twist lol
but looks like it pretty much mexican food there making no? that is a straight mexican dish there making NOT FILIPINO
that’s mexican food my g
It’s a Filipino filling in a burrito. It’s both Filipino and Mexican, calm down.
@@120484dc is sisig a mexican dish? Lol
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!
crazy at the end sf sisig was on the menu in the philipines. that right there is huge
That was f*cking insane. Shows how global this world is now. Had to be mindblowing to experience that.
Doing it big
Big Wave
Can confirm that they serve it. Place is called El chupacabra on Felipe street, Poblacion, Makati.
That gave me goosebumps! Really proud of these guys.
Everyone loves Mexican food and glad to see my pinyo brother's but their twists in combining our foods together
Well Mexico is the closest Latino country to the Philippines during the Spanish colonization. The Philippines were even indirectly governed by Spain through the ViceRoyalty of Nuevas Espana (Mexico). Both Mexico and the Philippines share plenty of similarities.
@@SHOGUN18875 Hahahhahah haters never fail ☠️.
@@SHOGUN18875 That's crazy foo. I guess you should make food in your crock-pot and start your own business since it's so easy and would taste better than there bullshit.
@@dodoubleg1979 I wanna see his own crockpot-food business
@@SHOGUN18875 you prolly but steak in the crock pot with no spices and eat it plain stfu
This series is amazing. Thank you Munchies for giving these hardworking legends a platform to share their story.
Love the Mexican and Phillipino fusion ❤pretty cool there putting Phillipino twist inside Mexican dishes
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.
It's aight
Is el chups still open?
Ahh yes. El Chupacabra. Me and my girl's favorite hangout in Makati.
Why is daly city always foggy? Because the filipinos have their rice cookers steaming all the time.
HAHAHAHAHAHA
🤣🤣🤣
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Oh my hahahahahahahahahahahahaaa
Sheeoowww
Crazy that their version made it all the way to the Philippines that was dope
Mexican food is global 😂
@@ricardorascon88he talking about sisig, not the taco 😂. Besides the vehicle, their recipe for sisig is different
The blood is a mashup. Filipinos n Mexicans are literally brothers.
Half brothers but brothers.
Respect to my Pinoy Familia.
truth!
Mexicans descendants are the Mayans and inkas. What are you talking about? Spain colonized the Philippines, and Mexico, Mexicans are a totally different breed.
@@richardr1683 It's fair to say they're like cousins due to the Spanish colonization connection
@@richardr1683 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
@@MoFire but your historical statement above is totally incorrect. And to say that Filipinos primarily live in CA is also incorrect. Have you been outside California? Filipinos are everywhere in the world.
The Filipino-Mexican connection goes way back.. centuries old. It started with the Manila-Acapulco Galleon trade during the Hispanic era Philippines. That's why PH also has champorado, etc... Philippines was a colony of Spain under the Mexican Vice Royalty.
Idk if I believe any of what u just said...CON ARTIST! 😑
@@DatNygma Uhh...nah, that's all historical fact.
And Mexico have Tuba, etc
@@DatNygma Uhmmm. That's history.
@@DatNygma you don't know anything about Philippine history STFU
I love how food can bring different cultures together it gives me such a joy cause I’m Mexican and to see other people bring their own flavor to something positive is great
Bruh our food (Mexican) is constantly evolving
@@icomarv17 True
@@Irvinho33 this makes me hella happy. You should try thai mexican food. Peanut sauce on a burrito? There is a food truck in LA
@@icomarv17 we put peanuts in mole so This is new to me I gotta try it when I go to the west coast
There's a fan following of Mexican food in the Philippines. We are just not that much into beans, but we love rice. So it's easy to transition into.
Heck yeah, Sisig! Used to hit up their truck in Alameda. One burrito was two meals!
Need to go to Off the Grid at south shore more often
Off The Grid is how I discovered them too, those california burritos are special, and he's not wrong about the fresh jalapenos.
Now one burrito is not even a meal.
That full circle story though. Who would have thought that the sisig version they made, which was inspired from the Philippines, will eventually reach that country and will be served right at them? It's a small world after all!
true man that SF Sisig in El Chupacabra is hella good u could order rice while drinking beer
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!
Is that their Montgomery Street location? I used to see that line and think, "No way I'm spending my entire lunch standing in a food truck line"
Man I love Filipinos so much and I would die to try this Mix up of our Mexican Food and Filipino food which is HIGHLY underrated 🙏🏼🇵🇭🇲🇽❤️
I just lost my job because of the pandemic, so I started a RUclips cooking channel. Wish me luck!!!
good luck friend!!
Subscribed! Best of Luck!!
I Subscribed. Wish you the best
I got you! Subscribed.

I love that they mix a few cultures together & make it happen carbones (no typo)!! 🌯🇲🇽 🇵🇭 🇺🇸 🇯🇵
Mad respect for these dudes. I hope one day they try my burritos and I try theirs.
Filipino and mexican cuisine 😤🤝
Nah nigga 🤣
@@spidercadillac7139 haha
That’s right, good shit, I fucks wit it
Respect. Señor Sisig is amazing. Just went there for the first time last week in Oakland and my wife and I were blown away.
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!!!
Damn, they didn't even take credit when they saw their burrito made it to the Philippines when they visited. Mad respect
Agree!
It's crazy how many people were influenced by Kogi to start their food business. Good for Señor Sisig. I hope they inspire others as well.
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
THATS "MEXICAN" TACOS NOT SPANISH, SPAIN DONT EVEN MAKE TACOS!
@@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’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.
wow so proud to see my fellow filipino's successes in the US , they both really deserve it also im proud that many people loving the sisig with the fusion of mexican food style.
Much love and respect to these guys. Love to see the fusion of two beautiful cultures come together through food.
Talk about love at first bite! I moved out of SF 4 years ago and I still think about this place. Hands down one of the best burritos in the Bay.
man, the way Evan says "Makati" nobody gonna believe him when he says he's not Pinoy.
lmfao it was legit
then scratch it
Yes .and he looks very Pinoy
he studied in La salle.
Slight mispronounciation have different meanings. Like itchy or hoes.
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. 💖
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 remember a few years back, I was eating at Yank Sing in SF, which is this Dim Sum Spot with my family. I saw the Senor Sisig Truck roll by and park around the corner. I literally left mid meal, and got in line and bought 5 Burritos and handed them out to my family. They wanted me to go back to the City to buy more. Glad they set up a spot in the South Bay.
I see them all the time on Valencia and Mission in the city. The lines are always super long and thats why I've never tried them.
Hit’em up at Serramonte. Every Tuesday @ 5pm. Off the Grid spot. They also got a spot near Colma Bart station too.
Mis primos los filipinos ✊🏽 love y’all food fire foshoo 💯
much respect amigo
This is really awesome guys. Y'know what this reminds me of? First We Feast circa 2016 before they became pretty much just the Hot Ones channel. They used to go around interviewing small restaurant people or people cooking out whatever space they had and just letting them tell their stories. It’s really great to see this kind of content back in the platform!
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🤙🏻
I remember going to Off The Grid in Daly City after school/practice to line up in a long line sometimes in the cold just for that Tocino burrito, but man lemme tell you the wait was well worth. Crazy to see how far these guys have come and see the recognition they deserve. Putting on for the filipinos in the bay ya love to see it !
I need to go to Cali for the food scene alone. These guys are so inspiring and make fire food 🔥
Yep. Those tacos do look good.
Congratulations to you guys! You all have done a great, great thing!
That sisig looks good, your style is what makes it unique. Keep up the good work
Love the Sisig Fries, Sisig Burritos, Tocilog Burrito, & Sisig Rice Plates here! If you haven’t tried Senor Sisig...this is a sign! Been going here since HS!!!!🙌🏻💯
Lol. "Oh, I get it. You're Mexican and he's Filipino.." I kinda relate. People have asked me if I'm Mexican or Asian. Either way, this Chicana loves what you all are doing here in Cali.🔥
The other guy is half white and Samurai.
im half white and japanese in san francisco and people always think me and my siblings are mexican
Many Filipinos in Texas are mistaken for looking Chinese.
No you just look caucasian
Whats your gram? 😂
I am literally eating a Tosilog burrito from Señor Sisig and I open RUclips and see this
You got mexican making sushi and ramen now phlipinos making burritos wow I can't wait for more
Filipino*
@@briangarcia8384 you rite
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
@@120484dc bro mexicans did the same with other foods it's all good it's called fusion
@@120484dc filipino flavors in a Mexican format may explain why it looks Mexican. Simple as that.
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.
No wonder their burrito is a their top product, it uses Adobo rice!!
These guys are spreading that pinoy love in these trying times. I’ll pray for their continued success.
The prep for the sisig is efficient and genius. Capitalizing on the flavors of this dish and keeping it super simple at the same time.
Throwback to when Señor Sisig was at Diners, Drive-in, and Dives in 2014
imagine if this man gets access to calamansi in the bay area, their sisig would taste so much better I'm calling it now
there’s no calamansi in the bay??
@@LilShrooms there must be, idk. but you know, supply and demand. using lemon and lime would be the best business decision instead of calamansi.
There’s calamsi in the bay fasho just hit up the filipino supermarkets
Calamansi is called Key Lime over here in San Diego, Ca
@@bambiwaddlefeet Key lime is different from calamansi. Calamansi is slightly sweeter and less bitter
The garlic rice in their burritos is 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Amazing series
I love this I’m doing something like this too just getting started with East African cuisine. 🇺🇬 Rolex, kikomado, chapatis, kebabs, 🇰🇪 Bhajia, Pilau, Mandazis, 🇹🇿 Zanzibar pizza, Chipsi mayai or chips and eggs
S/O to Señor Sisig! I just had this a few weeks ago and it's still FIRE!
I like this version.🌮🌯🥑🍅🌽🌶️🧀🧅 So many ways 2 enjoy this classic.
I love these videos. Thanks Munchies
I'm not Filipino but love Pampanga! Shout out to Lucia Cunanan the Sisig Queen!
I'm not Filipino, pero sige
California Sisig Burrito was a staple when I lived in SF; Thursdays at Off The Grid, Haight St
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.
Great story! I wish them much success! Excellent team of co-owners. One great with the cooking side, the other great with the business side.
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!
Ive been planning on starting my own food truck very soon and this is hugely inspirational!
How’s the progress
@@heem6116 still working out some of the fine details. Have costs figured out and some recipes decided. My business partner kinda put the project on the backburner while we have been planning still.
How's your Food Truck doing this present day?
Great episode
So cool. Thank for share
In 2016 they were parked by my job in SF. I wanted that burrito every day! It was so bomb! Nice and wholesome ppl too.
The fries with the protein on top reminds me of what we Peruvians eat lomo saltado!!
Peruvian food is good. The fries part comes from San Diego taco shops. Carne asada fries exploded in popularity about 10 years ago.
Mexican here and I love peruvian food Plato de chufe is my shit
Looks amazing. Gonna hit it up summer time
Inspiring! Good to see you guys are still doing good even after the year of the pandemic. Mabuhay!
Animo Raza!!!! I showed this video to my mom and pops and we all agree that this is definitely honoring our food with your own spin. Can’t wait to visit The Town one day and check y’all out ✊🏿
“Our food” yeah right, gringo.
@@ericktellez7632 you are lucky that they keep deleting my replies..which is bullshit by the way..no mames wey..yo naci y creci en La Luz Michoacán en el municipio de Pajacuarán.
@@ericktellez7632 but keep calling me Gringo 🤔 You are coming off like a middle-class “Chicano” who is so disconnected de nuestra cultura that they get mad and lash out towards anything that they don’t recognize in books..because you have never lived it..you have never lived the struggle..so the only thing you know to do it is criticize people..including The Filipino homies in this video; mind you in part they have the same oppressors, the Spaniards, so yes they are gonna have the same influences as far as sausage making and the use of pork..and you probably want to call them “cultural appropriators” while I call you a fucking clown...and probably the hardest struggle you have ever had to encounter is your first-white girlfriend that you met in ethnic studies class breaking up with you..no we aren’t built the same homie..
@@ericktellez7632 *crickets
I’m from Vegas and we have this thing called carne asada fries and they’re so good. Heading to San Fran next week so definitely want to try the pork fries !!
I love that last part when he went to Makati and ordered food that was inspired by them. Lovely!
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.
This is Mexican food made by a Filipino and Japanese American. Thank you Mexico for everything that you have given us.
These some real cool dudes. My very first meal the day I moved to the city was senior sisig on california st. Since then everytime I got a cousin or a homie come visit me I take them to hit up one of their trucks. Keep grinding guys can't wait to see where y'all go with it.
Wow, that looks amazing
that's a cool full circle story! congrats and continue all your success!
Ayy Sisig, I live a block from the Mission location and it's always amazing.
Damn dude had a good amount of songs with the jack ! That’s hella dope ! Yeeeeee!!!!
That's what I was about to say! Yeeeeee
Awesome!!! Very inspiring!
Thanks for hookin up the recipe and showcasing the UNE!! Shoutout to 1308, Birdhaus, Illuminaries Mural Art, Bronco Billy’s, Doc’s Hot Dogs, TV Arcade, the Oriental Store, Rock 4ce, and the rest of the OGs
SF native living abroad, really missing the truck!
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.
Oh my. That looks great!!
This looks yummy!!! Wanna get and try this when i visit sf.
Went there all the time every time they posted near 2nd...well somewhere in the Fin District....Senor Sisig is so freakin' good
There’s a Mexican and Filipino food fusion store near me, it’s bomb!
Everything looks HELLA good!
Wow such a dope story! wish them all the success! They deserve every ounce of it!
Shout out from the Mission. This place is good congratulations on the piece boys. Pinoys!!!!
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.
Sisig sa Rada
Thats dope, keep it up! I'm coming to the bay!!!
Food fusion at it's best!! Love it!
Bay area is crazy. It's home of the first filipino stars, ISP.
Dj!
About time these guys got some love! Gotta get there early because the line is like 20 deep before the truck even opens.
Fellas the food looks awesome keep rolling 👍🏼👊🏼
DC represent! Wish you guys the best continued success. Bring those Filipino flavors to the people. Food that warms the soul.
Idk about Filipino flavors maybe mainly Mexican ingredients and little portion of Filipino ingredients 😂like that fries dish was mainly Mexican
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👌
If you offer me food and I refuse, ask again, I was just shy at first😐
This is me hahah
An inspiring story of hard work paying off!
Oh my everything looks so delicious.
