It was a pleasant surprise seeing rodic's while driving along Yakal. The serving is a bit different from the branch in UP campus but still close. The tapa used to be a lot and drier/flakier which i prefer. There are other dishes i didn't see before like dinuguan, kaldereta. The place is spacious enough on a Sunday afternoon.
Blast from the past, a true fave during my college days. Very affordable comfort food at its finest. Was ecstatic to see this branch as I drove along Yakal street, had to stop by for the Tapsilog that never gets old! Cashier was friendly despite me having a large bill only, gave me change with no apprehension. Atmosphere is typical pinoy fast food, but that's not the reason you dine here.
On a visit to Qualimed in PGH, I was excited to find out that there was an actual Rodic's in the building. They still serve the tapsilog that I so loved while studying in UP Diliman. They've added other things to their menu like sinigang na salmon (head), which surprisingly did not have much of a fishy taste - yum! The diner had a Larry Alcala "Slice of Life" mural which all the more made me feel nostalgic. The place is white and clean. Be sure to get your lunch early or be prepared to eat a late lunch as the place gets packed until about 1:30.
