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

- Опубліковано 27 вер 2024
- 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.

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!
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.
@@STORMTROOPEROFDEATH71 Hahahhahah haters never fail ☠️.
@@STORMTROOPEROFDEATH71 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
@@STORMTROOPEROFDEATH71 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
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
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.
Did u go there?
Why is daly city always foggy? Because the filipinos have their rice cookers steaming all the time.
HAHAHAHAHAHA
🤣🤣🤣
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Oh my hahahahahahahahahahahahaaa
Sheeoowww
The blood is a mashup. Filipinos n Mexicans are literally brothers.
Half brothers but brothers.
Respect to my Pinoy Familia.
truth!
@R R It's fair to say they're like cousins due to the Spanish colonization connection
@R R 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
Incas and aztecs are descendants of asians that crossed the land bridge during the ice age.
@R R TRUTH. The stuff mexicans do, Filipinos do across the globe. Cesar Chavez built off the work of Filipinos in striking and organizing. Gotta recognize the similarities.
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
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.
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
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"
I just lost my job because of the pandemic, so I started a UA-cam cooking channel. Wish me luck!!!
good luck friend!!
Subscribed! Best of Luck!!

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 🙏🏼🇵🇭🇲🇽❤️
Filipino and mexican cuisine 😤🤝
Nah nigga 🤣
@@spidercadillac7139 haha
That’s right, good shit, I fucks wit it
En mazatlán Sinaloa the Asian food is
Big especially suchi
Damn, they didn't even take credit when they saw their burrito made it to the Philippines when they visited. Mad respect
Agree!
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.
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!!!
I love that they mix a few cultures together & make it happen carbones (no typo)!! 🌯🇲🇽 🇵🇭 🇺🇸 🇯🇵
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
Respect. Señor Sisig is amazing. Just went there for the first time last week in Oakland and my wife and I were blown away.
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.
Mis primos los filipinos ✊🏽 love y’all food fire foshoo 💯
much respect amigo
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.
I am literally eating a Tosilog burrito from Señor Sisig and I open UA-cam and see this
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’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.
Much love and respect to these guys. Love to see the fusion of two beautiful cultures come together through food.
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.
The garlic rice in their burritos is 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
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.
Throwback to when Señor Sisig was at Diners, Drive-in, and Dives in 2014
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? 😂
These guys are spreading that pinoy love in these trying times. I’ll pray for their continued success.
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.
If you offer me food and I refuse, ask again, I was just shy at first😐
This is me hahah
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
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.
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
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.
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.
S/O to Señor Sisig! I just had this a few weeks ago and it's still FIRE!
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
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
Great video GUYS :)- I lived in the Bay Area for over 35 years and have lived in Las Vegas for over 13 years now and The Bay Area is the FOOD Capital when it comes to Mexican food in The San Francisco Bay AREA!! :)- Kudos to both of you fellas!!! :)-
There’s a Mexican and Filipino food fusion store near me, it’s bomb!
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 !!
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?
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.
That sisig looks good, your style is what makes it unique. Keep up the good work
It's OK for the elders to share that knowledge, too. I appreciate it. This generational back and forth is culture doing It's thing. ❤
Shout out from the Mission. This place is good congratulations on the piece boys. Pinoys!!!!
I eat sisig like there was no tomorrow when I lived in Filipinas,I got out of the army in 2011 and took off,9 years of pure good life over there.
Looks like lines will be a little longer this weekend 😎
I am from pampanga and i am grateful that you acknowledge our province as the "Culinary Capital of the Philippines
Damn, I shouldn't be watching this late at night while drunk, LOL Making me hungry!
Congratulations to you guys! You all have done a great, great thing!
Everyone takes Mexican food and gives it their own twist ! Shits dope.
All love
Bro I was driving threw west LA area and I seen a place that said Mexican food with a splash of soul food, I love that all these other cultures love our food so much 👊🏼
@@bloodbankjiujitsu1599 yeah but then some white person has dreadlocks and they want to call it cultural appropriation
@@GOREDO5 Yeah bro it’s cultural appreciation! Ain’t none of these culture mashups saying they invented the burrito!
@@danny8739 hey im mexican. its fine by me if people of whatever race wants to make mexican food. Just think people are hypocrites when they cry foul when they see a white person with dreadlocks
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.
About time these guys got some love! Gotta get there early because the line is like 20 deep before the truck even opens.
My mother is from Pampanga! Love this video! Delicious! 😋💚
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
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🤙🏻
These guys need to come to SoCal people would line up 🔥
That looks so good 🤤🤤🤤 Americans are so lucky and they don't even know it 🥺
Eeh? How? If you are talking food and more specifically, mexican, the US has nothing on Mexico.
I know that’s tf right!! Congratulations 🥂
I admire Filipino people we have so much in common 🇲🇽
I love that last part when he went to Makati and ordered food that was inspired by them. Lovely!
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.
mad respect to people who promote my country's food to world.
Hella funny my uncle got me a burrito from here the other week and then munchies uploads a video for senor sisig niceeee
your uncle secretly works for munchies
An inspiring story of hard work paying off!
My wife is Filipina and we've always wanted to start a business and do Filipino fusion food. This looks amazing! Sisig is my #1 favorite dish, next is tinola.
Went there all the time every time they posted near 2nd...well somewhere in the Fin District....Senor Sisig is so freakin' good
WE ARE ADMIRED YOU GUYS FOOD TRUCK GOOD START AND BECOME BIG AND SUCCESSFUL THANK YOU FILIPINO FOOD MEXICAN FOOD YAHOOO

I wish my city had more burritos around
What state are you from? Just curious!😅
@@Randy_Butternubs she lives in Baja California.

Ayy Sisig, I live a block from the Mission location and it's always amazing.
Burritttoooooo. Sisigggggg My Favoriteeee. Proud Filipino here!
Had to do a double take I thought he rapped on J Dilla's beats
Amazing series
Always get their California burrito. Hella good with a fried egg too 🔥
There really is something special about driving across the bay bridge into San Francisco....
One love to the Pinoys yall make some smackin ass food bro!
Miss those days!!! ❤️ Bay Area have the best burritos!!!!
Was waiting for the call out on the proud Filipinos that get mad at the food not being "authentic." That's every Filipino food video on UA-cam. The only people hating on Filipino food is... other Filipinos.
These trucks are really good stop anytime I see one
7:39 “hella spicy”
Yeah he’s from the bay
I miss home 😞it's nothing like our bay area food. We all blended and so is our food🖤🙏🏾 Gotta make a trip back just to eat🤷🏾
