Dollar Hits

About

Dollar Hits began as a Filipino street-food truck in 2013 and settled into a Temple Street brick-and-mortar in Historic Filipinotown, with a second location later in West Covina. This page covers the Temple address. The signature move is the wall of low-priced skewers (pork, chicken, longanisa, fish balls, offal such as isaw and betamax) dunked in house barbecue sauce, then finished by diners on charcoal grills in the parking lot once evening service starts. A turo-turo hot bar and snacks such as turon and balut fill out the room for people who skip the grill. Time Out, The Infatuation, the Los Angeles Times, and neighborhood coverage treat the lot as a community hang more than a quiet dinner. Grill hours usually begin later afternoon; lunch combos run earlier. Official hours and ordering links live on dollarhitsstreetfood.com.

Diners say

Public reviews praise the parking-lot grill energy, cheap skewers, and a hang that feels like a neighborhood party. The same threads note that skewer prices have crept up from the original dollar, that the scene gets crowded and smoky at night, and that the food is more street-food fun than fine dining. Diners who like it usually want the DIY grill ritual and community buzz more than a plated sit-down meal.
