Even though I live with a native of the Philippines, I have not been exposed to a lot of Filipino cuisine. So when someone told us about a Filipino restaurant in Indiana, we had to check it out. Eduardo's doesn't look like much on the outside. It's in a pretty run-down section of town. It's actually pretty confusing, because the sign next to the door says "Charlie Bigg's Chicken" - you have to look at the door itself to see "Eduardo's" spelled out in barely visible red letters. Inside, it looks like a (remarkably clean) fast food chicken restaurant - which it is. Apparently, the owners do a lot of regular weekday business with the fried chicken and fish crowd. However, when they started putting their Filipino dishes on the menu, a new crowd started seeking them out. The owners actually have a Filipino catering business and a cart that they take to fairs and events. Seeing how well the food went over at these events, they decided to add several Filipino dishes every day to their otherwise standard fried chicken menu. On weekends, they have a whole buffet spread of Filipino food, but we were there on a Tuesday afternoon, so we had about four dishes (rotating daily) to choose from. The woman behind the counter (one of the owners) was kind enough to let us sample everything before we made our decisions. Although the pork adobo was excellent, I was swayed by the beef caldereta. Beef caldereta is basically a tomato-based beef stew that includes vegetables such as onions and peppers and is served (like many Filipino dishes) over white rice. Eduardo's caldereta was extremely flavorful - I definitely could taste some garlic, and there was some spice I couldn't exactly pinpoint in the background. It was warm and filling and perfect for a cold winter's day. Another member of our party ordered the pork adobo, which, with it's pickle-y vinegar tang and subtle soy sauce flavors, did not disappoint. We all ordered pancit noodles, which I had never heard of prior to this trip. Pancit noodles are skinny rice noodles, fried with soy sauce and a bit of something else (citrus? I couldn't quite pinpoint it, but it added some depth to the soy) and served with some shredded meat (in this case, chicken) and thinly chopped vegetables. These noodles were amazing. I could probably eat them for lunch every day. We rounded out our meals with some mini lumpia (egg rolls) - which the Eduardo's staff fried up specially for us so we could have them extra-fresh and extra hot. I couldn't resist finishing off my meal with a dessert. I ordered flan. I have a love-hate relationship with flan. Sometimes it can be slimy - more like Jell-O than a custard. I am pleased to report that Eduardo's flan was of a non-offensive consistency. In fact, it was almost creamy when it hit the tongue. I have to give one more mention to the cleanliness of the building and the friendliness of the staff. I have been in sit-down restaurants that haven't been as clean and where I haven't been treated nearly as nicely as we were at Eduardo's. Ask questions about the food if you're not sure about something - not only will you get an explanation, but you'll probably get to try before you buy. Eduardo's may not look like much, but if you're in the Indianapolis area and are interested in Filipino food (or if you're just looking for a warm, filling meal or an interesting alternative to Chinese, Thai, or other rice/noodle-type cuisines) I would highly recommend it. The three Filipinos in our group all gave it two thumbs up. Don't let the fast food atmosphere fool you - this is quality comfort food, island-style.

Good food! Yummy! Too bad they'll be closing May 16, 2015. But they'll be opening again next year!! Will surely be watching out for that!! For updates, check their website.

Looks like Edwardo's is now closed. We went by Wed - July 29th at 1:30 in afternoon and it was closed with paper covering the windows. So sorry to see it. Food was excellent. Hopefully they will open in new location.

There are not a lot of Filipino restaurants here. In fact, there's only one, and that's this place. Go on Saturday for the more extensive Filipino menu. We had 6-7 different dishes and they were all excellent. I don't remember what they're called but I took several pictures that I uploaded here. It's interesting reading the negative reviews. It seems like all of them are variations of, "I came from California where there are eleventy billion Filipino restaurants and Eduardo's sucks compared to those." Probably, but that can be said about pretty much every ethnic restaurant (and, realistically, almost everything) in Indianapolis when compared to what's available in California. The "what I can get in California" bar is just not realistic to use in Indianapolis. I mean, really? You think that California, with 6x the population of Indiana, 8x the economy of Indiana, and a billion times the diversity of Indiana might have a better Filipino restaurant than Indiana? Thanks for the deep insight, Sherlock. Tips: 1) Try many different things. The dishes are all fairly inexpensive. What's the worst that can happen? 2) Talk to the employees and ask questions. They are very helpful. 3) Go early. We went at around 5:30pm Saturday and some of the dishes were already sold out.

I stopped in here while washing and drying clothes next door. My first Filipino food experience. Not bad! I had rice noodles and an egg roll. I will try something more adventurous next time!

Was on a mission to find Filipino food and here it was! Took me only like 13 mins to get here from down Indy. I would never have thought it was Filipino due to the fried chicken sign, and Eduardo sign was on the entrance door. I think I would have missed it if it weren't for the yelpers. Kind of weird fusion, fried chicken and Filipino food...?? But anywho I literally ordered everything I could off the menu, it was 6:30 pm and they close at 7, I might as well take what I can underneath the heating lap. I know I was taking a chance it probably wasn't fresh but with the reasonable price of under 6 bucks for some of The food I said sure why not. I got the adobo with rice, Bbq screwers, lumpia (egg roll) and pancit. The adobo rice was ok she just have me lots of rice and hardly any adobo, but it worked out Since my rice was with everything else. I think what I like the best is the BBQ Sticks, lumpia, and pancit. I would give this more stars if there card machine was down. I had to go next door to the laundry mat to pull out cash that charge me $2.95!! I could if gotten an extra BBQ stick with that fee!!! Definitely bring cash here next time since there machine is unpredictable. Since this is the only Filipino food I can get ill definitely be back! It was not the greatest but ill take what I can get. And I'll probably even try there fried chicken! Hopefully when I go back it be better and I can give them that extra star or two!

As another reviewer wrote I wanted to like this place. Yes it appears to be the only Pinoy restaurant in Indianapolis. We are from San Diego and are TOTALLY spoiled with the Large selection of ethnic restaurants. Our favorite hole-in-the-wall turo turo place is Tita's Kitchenette in National City, CA. Anyway we tried the pancit bihon and a fresh empenada! The pancit was very basic...only have palabuk on Saturday. The Empenada was miniscule! Again Red Ribbon in Mira Mesa, and elswhere including the Philippines makes them 4 times the size...for the same price. My wife, who is of filipino descent, enjoyed the menudo, pork adobo, and another pork dish, but admitted the selection and serving sizes where not what we were used to. I no longer eat pork so I can not comment. No chicken adobo or vegi lumpia...only pork! Interesting there is another side of the business that catered to "locals" with fried chicken, catfish and potato wedges! Several people came in and seemed to love it. Two ate in and one had to go. We might go back to try the more extensive Pinoy menu on a Saturday. The prices seemed high for the portion sizes. I admit it. I am a spoiled San Diego Boy!

Absolutely love this small, family-owned restaurant. We had dinuguan, adobong pusit, puncit palaboc and BBQ for lunch. Everything was authentic and delicious. As for the dessert, we like their leche flan a lot. Will definitely visit this restaurant again.

LOVE LOVE this place for Filipino food! It is oddly located in a chicken joint in a not-so-great area, but it is well worth the trip! The staff is always courteous and the service is fast. Ask them to leave the Styrofoam container open or the lumpia will be mushy by the time you get home.

Im from san diego, ca and I had a huge share of filipino food all over california. Some were good, some were ok, and I hoped this place would be at least ok. Wow, it didn't even made that. I ordered chicken pancit to start. When I got it, I assumed it had chicken on it. It did say "chicken pancit". All I got was rice noodles and carrots. Its so bland, I had to add tabasco to give it some flavor. Then I got beef caldereta, its mostly carrots and potato! Bit dry and bland. I feel sorry for the people in indiana and think this is how filipino food taste like. Its sad. I'll give it 1 star since I found it with no problem..

Excellent value....as has been mentioned...more extensive Filipino offerings on the weekend. Lunch was outstanding with skewered pork, juicy and well seasoned....noodle dish was very tasty as well.

I want to like this place more, but the limited selection is killing me. The wife took me here last Saturday as part of a "Surprise Saturday." It was nice, because my wife chose everything we did that day, so all I had to do was show up. As we got closer to the place, we realized this place isn't in the greatest location. For anyone that knows San Diego, this place was more hood than National City, but this is the only Filipino joint in Indy, so I gotta go where the food is. We got there and noticed the "Eduardo's" sign just beneath the awning that said "Charlie Biggs." If we hadn't known better, we would have thought this was some cheap KFC knock off (yes, a "cheap" KFC knock off) as the menu had mostly fried chicken combos and sides. Heck even the heating window was mostly fried chicken. As we looked over the menu a bit more carefully, we saw familiar items. They had 3 special combos that had no names, just numbers. One combo was for menudo, a second for "shish kebob" aka Filipino bbq, and the third was for lumpia. I gotta be honest, I was a bit disappointed in the selection as they only had turon and adobo as their other standing dishes. To be honest I was expecting more of a turo-turo joint, but we were there, and we were going to make the most of it. I ended up getting the bbq, the wife got the menudo, and we split a thing of lumpia. As the lady behind the counter started scooping the rice, she looked over at us and asked "one scoop, or two." Bonus points for her, as I thought I was going to be disappointed and have to ask for more rice. Was this the best Filipino food I've ever had? By no means. Did it satisfy my craving for Filipino. Certainly. The people were super friendly too. They even gave us some free casava cake while we waited for our turon to cook. I think it helped that we established ourselves as Filipinos. Overall- if you want a true taste of Filipino food, order from their catering menu. Their standard menu of adobo, menudo, and bbq is ok, but if you know Filipino cuisine and want some palabok, kare kare or sinigang, ordering is the only way to go. I can't really speak to their fried chicken, but who doesn't love fried chicken? Chuck Norris Rating- Walker Texas Ranger round house

Wow. They've been open for a little over 3 years now, and it's been two years since my last review. But I have gone at least a couple times a year. This time I had some fried chicken, potato wedges, a side of slaw, some egg rolels, and a soft drink. The fried chicken was succulent. Still very very very scrupulously clean. Still friendly down-home service. Still providing both excellent fried chicken, and Filipino food. You can also pick up a newsletter from the local Filipino association, BARANGAY club. And the regional (midwest) Filipino newspaper out of Chicago. Still the only Filipino restaurant in town. Hours: 10 am to 7pm. Monday through Saturday. Closed Sunday. Just a few blocks East of I-65, on Raymond St., easy off at the Raymond St exit. Pull in at the Burger King, and Eduardo's is right next door, in the same building as the laundromat. They will do catering with advance notice. I think the food trailer parked in front is for their mobile catering.

Ordered the Caldereta (beef stew) dish and all I got was a plate of rice with beef. Caldereta is usually made with Beef, Potatoes, Carrots, and Peppers. My dish did have all of the flavors, but I didn't get any vegetables. I feel I was gypped because I didn't get the veggies. If you do decide to eat in, be prepared to smell like fried food. The lumpia rolls were really good too!

What a nice surprise real home made Fillipino food on the West Side of Indy, the place is nothing to look at, but the Fillipino dishes are fresh and tasty, had the Mackerel in Coconut Milk, Caldereta, BBQ and Casava Cake, all great, don't miss the Casava cake! Say hi to Eduardo (Eddie) and Lesy super friendly!
