Great ‘hole in the wall’ place. Excellent selection & service!

Mekeni Restaurant & Karaoke Bar is your typical turo-turo Filipino restaurant in Daly City. In addition to the steam table operation it also has an all-day made to order breakfast menu (Silog). Unlike other turo-turo places Mekeni is a decent sized restaurant. I've been here about half a dozen times for lunch and each time have found it to be about half full which I've taken as a good sign. It is located on Mission in an area where finding parking would be impossible during weekdays but it's not too difficult to find a spot in the lot just ahead of the restaurant on weekends. The dishes in the steam table operation rotate but they always seem to have at-least one Chicken item (adobo, caldereta etc.) so I stick to getting a one item combo to-go ($5). They always try to push the chicken BBQ when I ask for chicken but unlike Fil-Am where you can see them freshly grill the BBQ behind the counter, I'm not sure of the freshness of the BBQ at Mekeni so I generally avoid that. The taste of the food can be described as authentic, which means that it comes certified to give you a heart attack at 60 if you eat this every day, but its fine for once a week that I restrict myself to. Price-wise it's about 10% more expensive than Fil-Am the other turo-turo place that I generally rotate with Mekeni. I like the food here better but pick Mekeni for the freshly grilled BBQ. The only drawback that I can think of is that they don't seem to have any beef items on the weekends but that is a minor problem that will not prevent me from coming back periodically.

Great for silogs. Opens earlier than most Filipino places. Turo turo style. Quality is hit or miss.
