Mang Mar's Chicharon

What is Mang Mar's Chicharon? Mang Mar's Chicharon is a family-owned Filipino takeout spot located at 2885 Keele St, nestled in the Downsview neighbourhood. Owner and chef Mar Pablo Mallari, a Kapampangan-Bisaya, honed his chicharon recipe for years before opening this dedicated establishment. It operates primarily as a takeout counter, focusing on crispy Filipino delights with no traditional dine-in seating.

Mang Mar's Chicharon Menu & What to Order The menu at Mang Mar's Chicharon is a celebration of authentic Filipino flavours, heavily featuring their namesake fried pork rinds, which are made fresh in-house daily.
