JNJ Turo Turo Filipino Cuisine in Quincy, Now Open

[Reconbob2003]

Hit this place up for lunch today, small but cozy place, 5 or 6 tables. Menu at this time is written on clear plastic boards on the wall behind the counter, printed menus are due next week. Very friendly people, be sure to tell them if you have never had Filipino food before, they speak perfect english and will guide you through your choices if you want.
I had bbq pork on sticks, green beans and squash, and pork filled mini spring rolls with dipping sauce, I was told rice or rice noodles are traditionally served with the meal, but since I'm diabetic I had pass up the rice or noodles. Everything was excellent and I plan to return within a week or so to try some of the other dishes they have to offer.

Stopped by JnJ Turo Turo today -- I have absolutely no experience with Filipino food, but I liked it. Tasted very homey. We had three dishes with rice (all names are to the best of my memory):

Pinkabet - Mostly veggies with small pieces of pork. Green beans, winter squash, okra, eggplant, and bitter melon. This was my favorite, and the first time I've actually liked bitter melon.

Caldereta - Hearty beef, potato, and carrot stew. The favorite of the others at the table (all non-Filipino, just so you know).

Pork dish - I think it was called something like Sigis? Small pieces of pork in a thin, dark brown sauce. My least favorite, but still pretty decent.

I would go back if I were in the area. It's not easy to find Filipino food, so it might be worth a trip for the new flavors.

thanks for the report! the pork dish sounds like sisig (fried pieces of pork heads--i.e., ears, cheeks, etc.) in a brown sauce. the dish with bitter melon (ampalaya) is 'pinakbet', a popular ilocano dish. if you like it, you might also like a version with coconut milk in it, called 'bicol express'
