Yesterday, I celebrated my birthday here in this Place. I had a reservation a week before for 10 people at around 6-9pm. Unfortunately, we were only 5 that arrived. Then, we arrived at around past 8pm. We had difficulties looking for this place. During the reservation, no one told me that there were (3) three Aling Tonya's. So, we had to look for which among these three places where I had my reservation because they did not inform me. After I had my partner locate the place. We were like informed that the mayor had the place reserved. It made my friends felt that they were not in the right place. Who are they if the place was for the mayor. Then, I had to go to them to fetch them and tell them that I had reservation also. A lady informed me that yes. My reservation was there. So they prepared the table. the place was not that nice. No one even advised us of where is the best place and suggested something. So we had to ask some other people. Then, we went to he market and chose the dishes to be cooked. It took lik 20minutes for the food to be ready. The dishes served tastes good. We had buttered shrimps, sinigang in salmon belly, fried salmon belly, baked scallops and steamed talaba. Rice was not that deliciously cooked and the presentation was okay. The one singing during your stay was okay. But when we gave tip instead of singing more he just stopped and sang Happy Birthday. That's it. Their customer service is not that recommended. The food is okay. Nothing special.

Dampa in Macapagal is very popular for fresh seafood where you buy yourself and have it cooked in the restaurant of your choice. My friend chose Aling Tonya's because it was popular.

The place looked old and not well-maintain which was surprising because they have a lot if customers and the price isn't that cheap. The tables were old but acceptable.

Crabs in Salted egg was hard to eat. Steamed is still the best option for crabs. The salted egg coating wasnt that good since you cannot just bite on the crabs. We ended up peeling off the coating to eat the crab meat.

Shrimp in salt and pepper wasn't remarkable. The fresh vegetable salad was fresh but they did not give us any dressing. The baked mussels was the only food that I liked.

The worst part if this restaurant was the toilet. They only have one toilet for male customers. The faucet and flush doesn't work and the whole toilet was very dirty and there were plenty of small cockroaches in the toilet.

In the middle of fish market, the place don't look like a gourmet restaurant but the food is good. You can enjoy lapu-lapu, lobster crabs and many more.

Food was just mediocre and the cooking charges were a bit on the high side. When you go in there and sit down, no one comes to serve you or asks what you want. The staff just sit around and chit chat.

We try to eat here with my girlfriend becuase it has a good rating in the social media. At first we only saw the price of paluto(cooking for your food), so we ordered 1kilo of crab and 1/2 kilo of shrimps and 2 rice and 1.5 soda, but the problem is we dont believe that the crab is only 3 pieces I don't think it is a kilo so we just eat because we are hungry. The food is fair but as we check our bill it cause us 480php(10$) for the paluto and 1,100php(22$) for the crab and shrimps and cost of all is 1750php(37$). Too expensive for the food.
