Solid spot for late night eats post club when we were in our 20s. Lots of people come here before or after the airport since they’re 24 hours. They have American, Filipino, and Chinese food. I love getting their silogs - meat, sunny side up egg, garlic fried. I like their tocino and bangus. They’re known for their kare kare and spaghetti. Their bangus Sisig is good and one time we just asked for Sabaw. The staff are super friendly and for birthdays we got a cheesecake! They have halo halo here too. Located at the lucky chances casino across from the cemetery. There’s a parking garage as well as parking lot outside and surrounding.
Tucked inside Lucky Chances Casino, this spot offers traditional Filipino cuisine. I remember it as a go-to stop after a fun night out. I’ve also been here for breakfast, and it’s always delicious with great value for your money.
Someone recommended the Goto here, and since we were in the area, we had to give it a try. My husband and I arrived around 9 PM on a Monday night, and I was surprised by how busy it was for such a late hour. Luckily, we only waited a couple of minutes before being seated, and we were given menus right away. We weren’t super hungry—just curious to try their Goto (beef tripe rice soup)—so we ordered that along with Lechon Kawali (crispy fried pork belly) on the side. I was hoping they had Tokwa’t Baboy to pair with the Goto, but the Lechon Kawali would have to do. Their menu is quite extensive, but we kept it simple. Our food arrived after about 15 minutes. Despite how busy it was, our server was very kind and attentive throughout. The Goto was solid—the tripe was impressively tender and made the dish. The Lechon Kawali, however, was a bit underwhelming compared to versions we’ve had at other Filipino spots in our area. It also felt a little pricey, hmmm maybe pork is more expensive in Colma?
Let's face it. Most of the patrons are customers at the casino. But there are a few folks that come to Lucky Chances for the food. I'm one of them. As a customer of Cafe Colma for about 20 years, I keep coming back because I really enjoy the food and atmosphere. The variety on the menu its pretty good, but I usually have the same food. Filipino breakfast. The ladies that work here are always so nice. They feel like they are your aunties. The cooks are consistent, food quality food for a fair price. Cafe Colma used to be an affordable option when taking the family out for something different. No longer cheap. Expect to pay about $25 per person for dinner, beverage, and tip. It gets crowded, so plan to wait for your table. But it's worth the wait.
We came here for breakfast as we wanted Filipino food. We were seated right away. There is plenty of seating. The staff are friendly and attentive. My coffee cup never ran dry. We had Lechon Kawali, Tapsilog, Longsilog, Garlic Fried Rice, and Wonton Soup . All the food was well prepared and delicious!! I give a strong recommendation for any interested takers to eat here!!
