Tita Becca’s
A Filipino spot has opened at 15th and Franklin in downtown Oakland. Named Tita Becca’s (“tita” means aunt or aunty), the family-run shop serves Filipino dishes like pancit, siningang, and other traditional dishes. They maintain a low profile on the socials, but Redditors and others report back that it’s goooood. Tita Becca’s, 400 15th St., Oakland.
Tita Becca’s was very good! Tried the pork & beef lumpia, kaldareta beef stew, outstanding lechon kawali, dinuguan, garlic fried rice, and turon. Took a little while for the order to be ready but worth the wait. They don’t appear to open until 5pm.
