Turo-turo, literally “point-point,” refers to Filipino eateries where diners point directly at pre-cooked dishes displayed in trays rather than ordering from a menu. The format, closely related to the carinderia, reflects practical, fast, and affordable Filipino dining built entirely around visible, ready-to-eat home-style food choices.
