Always our choice when craving for seafoods.
Food: No questions asked with the freshness of the food since we buy it from the wetmarket just outside the resto. They're the ones who cook the seafoods as per your request of recipe. Kinilaw though is not the typical kinilaw that we have in the province (they use Suka while we use tuba back home).
Place: Outdated.
Price: A bit pricey, I must say.
Service: There is a wait time most especially during peak hours as they're packed.
Aling Tonya 1,2 and 3 is supeeerb! Seafoods is lifeeeeer! Super yummy and we so love it! Will definitely comeback for moreee. Fresh seafoods are so delicious❤
Our go to place for that seafood craving. Definitely fresh seafood served with that perfect home cooked taste. There’s a bit of a waiting time for your food to be served since its cooked as you order and it gets packed all the time. But it is definitely worth the wait. You’ll leave the place satisfied. We love their adobong pusit and their crab in oyster sauce.
Our group was so happy with the food. We asked them to buy the ingredients for us instead of taking time to go to the wet market and buy ourselves.
We ordered the following, all for around P5,500 total:
1/2 Kilo Tahong Soup - I love this! Soup was sweet, mussels were a mixed of small and medium sized.
1/2 Kilo Stuffed Grilled Squid - this was also good, squid was fresh but I was expecting minced pork as stuffing instead of tomatoes and onions, I guess we should have inquired first before assuming.
1/2 Kilo Grilled Liempo - this one I was a bit disappointed because meat was quite tough and dry.
1/2 Kilo Buttered Chicken - this one was yunmy! Butter was not too over powering, chicken was battered and fried perfectly.
1/2 Kilo Baked Mussels & 1/2 Kilo Baked Scallops - cheese was so good! I think they used cheddar and sprinkled a bit of toasted garlic bits, super yum!
1 Kilo Sweet Chili Crab - another yummy dish, a bit challenging to eat but definitely worth it.
1 Kilo Garlic Butter Shrimps - this one was good because I love shrimps but the sauce (butter) was a bit too sweet for me.
2 bowls of plain rice - we were a party of 6 but we weren’t able to finish this. A bowl was said to be right for 3-4 pax.
1 Liter 7-Up
Definitely satisfied our cravings and would love to go back again!
Nakakatarantang mamili ng restaurant habang pumapasok sa Dampa dahil sa kabilaang approach ng iba't ibang server sa bawat kainan. Kaya dalawang beses na rin naming pinili ang medyo mas tagong restaurant na ito.
Hindi naman sobrang espesyal ang pagkakatimpla nila sa Garlic Butter Shrimp--alam ko dahil mahilig ako sa hipon at magluto sa nito sa bahay. Masarap naman at hindi malansa ang kanilang Grilled Pork (Plain).
Masarap at marami ang Crispy Kangkong nila. Sana magkaroon din sila ng mga soup na wala nang seafood o laman (Nido soup, halimbawa).
Maayos naman ang serbisyo dahil mababait ang mga tao. Katunayan, ang saya namin sa paglilipat nila sa pitcher ng aming Fresh Buko. Kung may gusto akong iimprove, iyon sigurong madalas na pagkaiwan nang nakatiwangwang sa order pagkatapos nilang maprepare. Hindi kasi nila agad naidadala sa lamesa. Iyon ding mga nakabalot na wet towel, sana iinform muna nila sa costumer na hindi iyon libre, hindi iyong ilalapag lang nang walang pasabi.

I'm a fan of dampa's paluto ever since. We've tried couple of restaurants and seems everything tasted the same.
We've tried Aling Tonya's as a recommendation from my friend. We did the traditional setup wherein we will venture to the wet market for the goods and let them cook it the way we've wanted.to.
It's a semi-long process since we will do the pamamalengke by ourselves but it's much cheaper. After the paluto, I gave them the instructions regarding the dishes we like.
They did justice for all the dishes and they are very tasty. I can taste the uniqueness of flavor in every dish. The thing about cooking is you'd go for extra mile if you want your food to stand out. I can taste a big difference from the other restaurant in that place and I'm loving it.
The store interior is okay but can be improved. It's well-air conditioned but outdated.
Will definitely come back soon!
Let's rate them shall we?
Food: 5/5
Ambiance: 3.5/5
Service: 4/5
Value for money: 4/5
Aling Tonya’s is one of the famous and best seafood paluto here in seaside. I’ve been to Sis also and Trinity but most of the time in the later. Aling tonya’s cooked dishes are served in mini kalderos and kawali which are really cuute and nice to look at. It’s like they’re served right away fresh from the stove hehe. Highly recommendable place.
A place I've never expected to be as good.😋
This place is hidden within the Dampa, but is definitely a place you'll want to look for. They offer a fairly decent price for their cooking fee ranging from 200 to 300 pesos depending on your chosen dish.
The food were unexpectedly good despite the simplicity of the place. The looks isn't necessarily first class, but the food is just awesome!
What we ordered:
Sweet & Sour Lapu Lapu - Love everything about this dish.
Buttered Garlic Shrimp - this dish was good, but can be improved by lessening the sugar and oil. It was a little too sweet and oily.
Mango shake - they use fresh fruits. So this is also fairy good. Just a little too pricy for the taste.
If I crave for seafood again, I'll consider coming back.👍🏻
*Dint get the chance to take pictures as I was too hungry and the food was already too tempting.😜
Every time we have family gatherings and having a home cooked meal in our minds, Aling Tonya's will always be the top choice especially when it comes to seafoods! Indulged in their mouth watering dishes like Kilawin, Sinigang na Salmon sa Miso, Baked Mussels, Chili Crab, Calamares and Buttered Shrimps! One thing that needs improvement is their ambiance. I just wish they'll improve on their A/Cs :)
Syempre sa seafood paluto Aling tonya's is the best! Seaside Macapagal branch is our favorite. I will rate 3.5 kasi it still needs improvement sa surroundings at sa resto although sa last na punta namin nakaaircon na kasi malangaw talaga sa paligid, nalessen naman ang langaw nung nakaaircon na kaya mas masarap at enjoy na ang kainan!
