I stopped by the one near Quiapo last year and the longganisa silog was the standout, garlic rice done properly. Budget around 120 to 150 pesos for a full meal with drinks. Go before noon, the lunch crowd fills it fast.

Longganisa silog is the right call there, sweet and garlicky with a good snap. Ask for extra atchara on the side, it cuts the richness. Weekends the line snakes past the door by 11:30 so aim earlier.

Not sure about 2026 prices but try the tapsilog, it's hard to mess up.

Fair point on tapsilog, though the tocilog at their Makati branch holds up better and runs about 130 pesos.

The tocino there does have a better char on it, no argument. Just check the branch hours before you trek out, some of their spots close by 7pm on weekdays.

I've only been to the one in Greenbelt, not the original, and it hit the spot. From Makati just take a Grab, maybe 150 to 250 pesos depending on traffic. A large shake runs around 180 to 220 these days.

greenbelt's solid but the OG stall's ube shake is thicker & worth the extra hassle if ur up north anyway

The original stall on Bautista Street in San Juan is the one people mean, and it's a different beast from the mall kiosks. If you're staying in Ermita, a jeep to Quiapo then a short ride gets you close. Budget around 200 for a large.
