“Señor Sisig has revolutionized Bay Area Filipino food through their innovative Filipino-Mexican fusion concept that began as a food truck in 2011 and expanded to multiple brick-and-mortar locations.

Their signature California Burrito features sisig alongside french fries, cheese, and signature sauces, while their tacos, nachos, and quesadillas showcase how Filipino flavors translate beautifully into familiar handheld formats. This creative approach makes Filipino cuisine accessible to broader audiences while respecting the integrity of traditional flavors.
