JNJ Turo Turo { July 13, 2009 }

"This is the only Filipino restaurant in New England....It's a family run joint so the food is delish in its own way. They have the standard Filipino staples, kare-kare, crispy pata, adobo, lumpia, calamansi, etc. They also have a hand washing station for those of you traditional folks who eat with there hands. The prices won't hurt your wallet too much and you can't go wrong with a place that gives you a huge serving of white rice."

"Being relative newbies to Filipino dishes, the staff was more than willing to make some recommendations, including pork spring rolls, pork in peanut sauce, deep-fried pork (are we sensing a pattern here?) BBQ chicken (best I've ever had), beef stew and delicious noodles."

JNJ Turo Turo-Filipino food in Quincy { May 2, 2008 }

"We ate alot of pork and had to bring leftovers home with us. So we got Kare Kare, Dinuguan, Lechon Kawal, Pancit Bihon, Lumpia with Meat, Pork Afritada, Bicol Express and Pork Adobo. If we were vegetarians, we would have been in trouble! I have only had select dishes of Filipino food in the past made by friends namely Pancit and Lumpia (both were I have had before were delicious!)"

A Turo-turo in Massachusetts { October 23, 2007 }

"Jervin’s experience as a restaurant manager in Manila, where he learned the ins and outs of the food business, came in handy. The biggest lessons they learned running their turo-turo is that the customer always comes first, and they make sure the quality of their food is maintained."
