Don’t skip dessert when dining at Linda’s Cafe. The creamy Leche Flan, silky and rich, is a classic Filipino egg custard that melts in your mouth. For a treat with a fruity twist, the Turon (banana roll) offers a delightful crunch and caramelized sweetness, while the HaloHalo dazzles with its colorful layers of sweet beans, jellies, and shaved ice—perfect for cooling down in Texas heat.

Customer reviews underscore the genuine appeal of Linda’s Cafe. Christina Villafranco enjoyed the Beef and Shrimp Fried Rice and suggested adding more sauce options to elevate the experience, while Stellar Kruize raved about the authentic, smoky, and sweet barbecued pork sticks and the truly legit Chicken Adobo that boasts tender meat cooked on the bone—an often elusive find outside of the Philippines.

Suraj kc captures the essence perfectly, noting that although it "may not taste exactly like your mom’s home cooking," it stands out as one of the best spots in Lubbock for Filipino fare, enhanced by a warm, welcoming team.

The food is delicious I got beef n shrimp fried rice. The only thing is..it should come with sauce on the side. You only get soy sauce... other than that it's a great place to eat .

Had the chicken pancit, with egg rolls, and spring rolls. Lots a noodles and fair amount of protein. The egg rolls and spring rolls had a nice and crispy shell.

Very good Filipino food! The chicken adobo is delicious and legit. Very soft chicken with the bone in, making it legit lol most places I've been to do boneless, for some reason. I also got the barbecued pork on a stick that was also smokey, sweet and delicious! Highly recommended if you're wanting some Filipino deliciousness in Lubbock!

Missed eating Filipino food and stumbled across this place. Had the pleasure of meeting Linda and ordered one of my favorite dishes “Kare-Kare”. She was generous and surprised I like Filipino food. Sat down and enjoyed my meal to the bone lol. Visited at least twice and if I have another chance before leaving Lubbock, I’ll make another stop. Thank you Linda.

We ordered the pork and chicken pancit, egg rolls, and spring rolls. Overall impressed! The flavors were subtle but definitely there. Spring rolls were delicious! I could only finish half of my meal. Looking forward to leftovers!
