Yo I live in DFW and just had this for the first time last week.
It’s pretty good. Spaghetti with hot dogs in it and fried chicken. What a combo.

Went to one in California recently. Honestly, it’s shitty expensive fast food at this point that relies on nostalgia for Filipinos.

Is it good? Every single location in my area has really bad review scores, but a friend of mine said that is because of expectations of Non-Filipino customers

Been to a couple of the ones in NYC and DC, the Mango pie is pretty good. The DC location had hamburgers which were surprisingly good for fast food.

Its different than US-born fast food. I wouldn’t say its any worse than your McD’s, Pizza Hut, and Taco Bell-type places, maybe even a bit better, but its a different taste and your stereotypical American won’t care for it.
Note: I was born in the US but am 1/2 French (half white American) so I’m used to a broader range of food than most white Americans. Have seen plenty of white kids who eat basically sandwiches/burgers, cheese pizza, chicken, fish sticks, and that’s about it for lunch and dinner. They would downvote Jollibee.
