Right off the bat, Tapsihan ni Lebron James and Dwayne Wade, does not look like your typical foodie place. First off, the name of the place sounds funny. Second, it looks like a hole-in-the-wall restaurant with a couple of tables outside and cramped interiors. Meaning no Instagrammable backdrops.

When people ask me where's a good place to eat in the north of Siargao, I always recommend this place. Tapsihan is located in the small surf town of Pacifico in San Isidro, which is roughly one and a half hours away from General Luna. 

Tapsihan ni Lebron James and Dwayne Wade is named after the owner's sons, Lebron and Dwayne. Yep, you guessed it - parents are huge basketball fans. The menu is mostly of Filipino dishes. I've eaten here so many times and the food never disappoints.

Shrimp Sinigang - a Filipino dish, which is a sour and savory stew
with shrimps, string beans, and other veggies
Siargao Express - a spicy dish made of pork cooked in coconut milk and
lots of chili peppers
Mushroom Chicken - chicken fillet cooked in butter and mushroom sauce

These are just three of the dishes I've tried in my numerous visits there. I've also tried their beef steak, stir-fried noodles, fish and chips, and so much more. The mushroom chicken was easily my favorite, and it is also one of their best-sellers.

The service here is pretty good except when the place is pretty packed as the wait time for the food increases. So if you're going to eat here at lunch time, be sure to bring a lot of patience. But other than that, this place is pretty great.
