ABOUT SARI-SARI
Sari-Sari meaning "variety" started as a small oriental market operated out of the family's garage. In 1995, it first established itself two doors down from its current location, providing Filipino products to the small Filipino community in San Antonio. Entrepreneur, Adam Valenzuela, wanted to expand his business and live out his dream of opening a Filipino restaurant. With his adherence to traditional Filipino recipes accompanied by unique interpretation, the Valenzuela family opened up Oriental Cuisine in 1998, becoming one of the first Filipino restaurants in San Antonio. Slowly the restaurant would expand to include a bakery with fresh Filipino delicacies, deserts, and pastries.
Sari-Sari Restaurant,Market & Bakery, now owned and operated by daughter Camille and husband Adrian De Los Reyes, continues to provide authentic Filipino dining to those who delight in sharing food and exploring new flavors. Sit back, relax, and enjoy as we freshly prepare your meal and allow it to transport you back ‘home’ to the Philippines or someplace new and undiscovered.
