KAPATAD Kitchen and Cafe

Authentic Kapampangan Cooking

Kapatad Kitchen and Cafe was a lifelong dream of the Franco family, a simple and humble Filipino family that migrated to Austin, Texas over a decade ago. The Franco family was originally from Santa Rita, Pampanga, a province in the Northern part of the Philippines which is known for its delicious food and great hospitality. The seven Franco siblings learned their cooking skills from their mother, Francisca, and their father, Zoilo. These recipes were handed down from many generations and made into delicious dishes that are popular all over the Philippines. 

We invest in quality ingredients to ensure our customers get the great taste we're famous for. Because we believe that you deserve the best.

Our secret ingredient is passion. Everyone on our team is passionate about making your time with us as great as it can be — from start to finish.

All recipes at Kapatad Kitchen and Cafe are family recipes that have been passed down. The owners come from the region of the Philippines called Pampanga. Pampanga is the Northern Part of the Philippines, this is known as the food capital of the area. The Sisig is one of the most popular dishes- chopped pork with spices served on a sizzling iron plate. Crispy Pata is another signature dish- this is braised pork leg that is then deep fried. Making a crispy skin with a super tender meat. Come try one of our specialties! 

There are not many Filipino restaurants in the Austin Texas area. Kapatad wants to showcase Filipino food the way that it should be presented- the traditional way. Many people know about different Asian cuisines, but they do not know what true Filipino food is like. Kapatad believes that they are presenting the most authentic version of Filipino food to the community.
