National City is in California, on the West Coast, where the climate ranges from foggy coast to hot inland valleys, wildfire season can affect air quality in late summer, and traffic is the main thing to plan around. US addresses list the street number and name, then the city, state abbreviation and ZIP code, and National City follows the same pattern; a suite or apartment number such as Ste 200 refers to a unit inside the building. The map link on this page shows the exact spot.

Ordered 3 silog combos last night to take home. All the rice were “panis”/spoiled! Called last night but store is closed already. My husband came back today with the rest of the spoiled rice. Manager refused a refund, interrogated and talked to him like an “aggressive bulldog” - where’s the meat, where’s the other rice, etc. The meat is good so we kept it - duh! The other rice was partially eaten, why bring that back.. but she’s missing the point. The rice is panis, who cares about what happened to the rest of the food. My husband was willing to only get half of the money back but she refused. She offered another combo with rice instead but we don’t want rice nor food from Zarlitos again. He didn’t want to make a scene so he accepted it. Need to train your manager and don’t serve spoiled rice. And btw, manager claimed since we waited the next day, “of course the rice will be spoiled”. No it won’t, all Filipinos out there, you know rice don’t go bad overnight, especially in a cool night. Shame on you manager! And btw, in the past, we ordered Arrozcaldo to-go and chicken was bad also but didn’t bother to complain because we were busy.

I haven't been to Zarlitos in so long, maybe even years and nothing has changed! I came in wanting a simple Filipino breakfast and I found exactly that here! I walked in and the restaurant was pretty big inside with lots of seating and it was nicelt decorated. The host sat me right away and gave me a menu. I did have to ask for water though but that's okay because there were only two people working from what I could see and there were a lot of take out orders coming in. Initially, I asked for a small bowl of sinigan and they sais they only do large orders so i decided to skip it. I ordered the beef silog with a side of spam and lumpia. The beef was well seasoned but a little tough honestly, it was still really good the eggs were cooked perfectly, sunny side up and nice and runny. The garlic rice was a nice balance to the dish as well. The spam was cut at a decent thickness and added a good depth of flavor to the meal. And the lumpia was alao pretty good. Not the best I've ever had but still very enjoyable. Overall it was good ans worth a visit if youre looking for a nice homemade meal.

I ordered pinakbet, chicharon bulaklak, and menudo for pick-up from Carlitos Family Restaurant, and everything was delicious! The flavors brought me right back to home-cooked meals from my childhood. When I walked in, I was welcomed by a warm, family-style setting—and even karaoke was happening! It felt nostalgic and comforting, like stepping into a family gathering. Although I only grabbed takeout this time, I’m definitely planning to dine in next time to soak in more of that vibe. Highly recommend for anyone craving authentic Filipino food with a side of good energy. 🍽️🎤🇵🇭 Side note: we had the food when we got home, and fyi, best chicharon bulaklak that we’ve ever had. 😍 the menudo and pinakbet was so good too!

Good selection of Filipino food. We tried the Sisig, Lomi, Silogs and everything was delicious . Good-sized portions and the service is great waiters are attentive to our needs and were polite. We will definitely be back to try more of their great selection.
