Lets have some great Filipino food! Tambayan is family owned and was listed as one of New Times Top 100 Restaurants for 2024. A friend and I recently had lunch there and we were quite pleased with the food. We split the Lumpia Appetizer, Chicken Inasal, and the A la carte Pork BBQ Skewers - see food and menu pictures below.
Here is a link to their online menu which has great pictures:

623-806-2532Over the years, Tambayan Filipino Food has existed in the Valley as a pop-up, a cloud kitchen tenant and a food truck. In June 2024, it opened a brick-and-mortar restaurant on Camelback Road, providing fans a permanent spot to enjoy its delicious Filipino fare. The colorful dining room, decorated with bright yellow booths, green walls and neon lighting, is the perfect backdrop for the vibrant food. Start with a purple ube horchata before digging into the Pancit Overload. This dish functions somewhat like a sampler platter, as the stir-fried noodles are topped with lechon and lumpia. The Chicken Inasal is another standout. The lemongrass-infused chicken is grilled and crisped to perfection and served on a banana leaf. The pork adobo is savory, rich and deep in both color and flavor. And to finish off your vibrant meal, opt for the rainbow-colored Halo Halo made with shaved ice, tapioca, banana, red mung beans and ube ice cream.
