If you're in the heart of Laoag City and searching for a cozy spot to indulge in delightful local flavors, TAYAMEN is the cafe you've been dreaming of. Situated at Abadilla in Ilocos Norte, this culinary gem serves up a nostalgia-filled experience with its rich offerings and inviting atmosphere. 

Stepping into TAYAMEN is like revisiting fond memories of your student days, as echoed in a review by Proud Kuripot. Many locals have cherished this establishment for years, thanks to its budget-friendly options combined with delicious tastes that evoke wonderful tastes of childhood. From the very first bite of their superb **isaw** (grilled chicken intestines) to the satisfying crunch of perfectly cooked **fish balls**, every taste is a celebration of Filipino street food delights. Customer AM Gonzales couldn't have put it better: "The best isaw and fish ball I've ever had! Worth every penny!"

The ambiance at TAYAMEN is simple and homey, evoking a sense of comfort and familiarity. While some may find that the place could use a touch of sprucing up—like Jensen Castro’s observation of its aging charm—the essence of the cafe lies within its community vibe. It’s a place where friends gather, laughter echoes, and sharing meals creates lasting memories.

Whether you're a local or just passing through, TAYAMEN promises a unique experience steeped in tradition and nostalgia. The passionate service from the staff adds another layer of warmth, making you feel like part of the family from the moment you walk in. It's truly the perfect place to unwind, savor some delicious food, and perhaps even spark fond memories of your youth.

Don’t miss your chance to visit TAYAMEN—where every dish tells a story and every visit resonates with the joys of the past.

Food is delicious and awesome. The place needs more work as it is very old.
