A Legacy of Flavor
Founded by Honorato “Tatoy” Espinosa, a seasoned fisherman himself, Tatoy’s began as a small eatery by the beach. With a deep understanding of the ocean’s bounty, Tatoy skillfully transformed the freshest catches into culinary delights. Over the years, Tatoy’s has grown, but its commitment to quality ingredients and authentic Ilonggo flavors has remained unwavering.
