    Pinoy BBQ ATBP = AT IBa Pa (spoken like its written). "At iba pa" translated means - etcetera or more literally "and other stuff". It's a typical thing for Filipinos to do a lot of plays on words, thus "ATBP".
    Thanks for the video!

    Pinoy BBQ (barbeque) ATBP is the acronym for "At iba pa". In english it translates to 'and other things' or etcetera.
    I migrated to the Bay Area 20 years ago from Manila, and Pinoy BBQ ATBP remains to be my family's favorite filipino spot.

It’s in the Plaza De Santa Teresa. 💖 The large plate is $12 something and the regular is $9 something. Definitely recommend going.
