Tindahang Pinoy Variety Store - Pinellas Park, Florida

Gottfried Kibelka

A small store with a limited selection of dried, canned, and frozen food items. I found the prices a bit higher than what I am used to but I found the brand of coconut milk that I like and decided that I need to go back and try the food from their kitchen.

Wow this is one of the best Filipino Stores I’ve been too.
The store is well laid out and stocked. The owner was so welcoming and nice.
I called to place my food order for pick up at 9.30am and food was ready when I came by 1 hour later and were still warm.
All the dishes I ordered were cooked to perfection. We will definitely be back when we are in the area again.

This shop might just be the best Filipino market I've been to in America. The staff are kind and helpful, and the store is well organized. You will find the best Filipino snacks and products at reasonable prices, especially considering the import process from The Philippines.

They have a wide variety of dry goods like noodles, frozen goods like tocino, and even cold drinks like Mogu Mogu! This place is just awesome, and they even have a full menu for their kitchen in the back. You can sit and eat from an authentic Filipino menu that's so good you might just forget you're in Florida!

The shop also sells UMAC boxes, so you can send a balikbayan box back to your family and friends in The Philippines. You can take a box for a $10 deposit and drop the box off at the store to be picked up by UMAC.

This is a small Filipino grocery that has a small cafe in the back with only 2 tables. My husband and I ate lunch there. We ordered dinuguan, kare-kare, menudo and lumpia Shanghai. The flavors are decent, the serving size quite generous for the price point and service is good. The lumpia came out very hot as it was freshly fried, cooked to order. The kare-kare veggies were still crisp, not overly cooked. It could’ve used more peanut butter in the sauce though. Both the dinuguan and menudo were just right, they were seasoned appropriately and meats were tender.
The only negative thing I’d say is that ventilation is poor and so the whole place smells like fried food, which sticks to your clothes. Overall a pleasant dining experience, nothing fancy but feels like a good home cooked meal.

I visited this place for the first time today and was absolutely blown away. The lady working in the store was so sweet and whipped up the most delicious Filipino comfort food. Growing up in an Asian household I felt right at home in this store. I got the longsilog, sinigang, lechon, and bistec. All the dishes tastes so homemade & filled with love. Go check them out if you’re ever in the area!

Second time here and it always makes me happy every time. ? Wally has been in this location for 22 years. Small store but just right because he has everything no needed like back home in the Philippines. He has little “carinderia” as well! Yummy ?

I don't like leaving bad reviews or score low, this being 1 star should speak volumes. My family and I lived in a place where there isn't even one Filipino restaurant or store in town. Having moved here two weeks ago, I was excited to try out this moms and pops store.

I don't need fancy decor or good advertisement, the more authentic the better the taste I say. This place was 90% store, and literally 2 tables in the back to dine in. The way starry starry stores usually are made. We asked to sit and was judged. I'm Filipino but at first glance, you wouldn't think I was, so my family being blended definitely wouldn't. The owner or cook waved us away and said they can't help us. He laughed and said you could try 20 mins.

I've had some bad dining experiences but this was straight up disrespect. He didn't even try to hide his expressions, showing he doesn't want to cook more than a few orders at once. Like why even be in business for food..? I'm very disappointed because my kids were looking forward to some chicken adobo the whole 25 mins driving there because they've been asking for weeks. This is not how to treat people or do business at all. They started speaking in Tagalog about us not knowing I speak and understand the language. I ended up telling them to have a great day in Tagalog and had them thinking.

We ended up going down the street at Mercels where the Filipino grandma served my family of 6 all by herself. The food was delicious, low price and came out quick. Not once did she complain and enjoyed talking with us. We enjoyed every bit of the experience. She even thanked me for helping arriving customers unload their delivery boxes for them.
