It was an incredible experience, but it's been a few years since I've been back. As we walked in, from a appearance perspective, very little has changed. You can tell that this is definitely a hole in the wall, but the countless patrons that came in and out, spoke to the quality of the place. Pleasantly surprised to see, that there was a new rebranding happening. Now as far as the food, the star dish was the Kare-Kare and of course the Halo Halo. I guess you can say I like anything that said twice.

So many people hate on this spot. But as someone who enjoys a chicken BBQ skewer and garlic fried…read morerice... this is the spot for me! There isn't any Filipino spots in Miami for real so this is the only place that I could find in Wynwood. I don't get why people say that this spot is far from Filipino food when it is obviously supposed to show Filipino food in a creative way and showcase street food too... But I'm glad I experienced it for myself and enjoyed my time. The chicken BBQ skewers tasted exactly how it was supposed to. So I know it was marinated appropriately and cased with banana ketchup!!!! I appreciate the chicken lumpia option. Not many people serve lumpia options that aren't beef or pork... so that definitely won me over too. My only complaint was that the beef tapas was not hitting the way it was supposed to. It was giving more of a bistek feel than tapas. I hope that I just caught them on a bad day or that they can refine that recipe. I'm hopeful that it can improve. ALSO -- really loved that Jamaican tea they have. Forgot the exact name of it. But I could drink gallons of it. Lol.

Back in a small retail area near SE 17th Street, this restaurant apparently opened in late 2019 and then had to close because of the pandemic. But it returned and now offers homemade food with terrific service. The place is small, seating about 30 in an at-home-at-the-dining-table style. Our server, who I think was an owner, was very friendly and even helped us choose a dish. We had to have lumpia, because it was one of the first Filipino foods we ever tried (decades ago). Although these were good, my friends' (shoutout to Analisa and Belinda) native eggrolls were much better. For our main entrees we had the adobosilog and the tapsilog. The adobo dish came with white rice topped with a fried egg, some shaved carrots, a couple of slices of cucumber and tomato. The adobo, though a tad salty, had a delicious soy-vinegar flavor and brought me back to the dish my pal Joe made for us a couple of times. The tapsilog was shaved beef that came with the same accompaniments but it was so salty that I had to mention it when the lady asked me how things tasted. She went and told the chef. (I did not complain about the adobo.) And he insisted that the price of the meal be removed from our bill. Ummm. OK. We splurged on dessert and shared the last piece of Ube (purple yam) cake (bought from an outside vendor) and a halo-halo. The cake was smooth and not too sweet. The halo-halo was shaved ice with ice cream, milk, and a variety of ingredients including beans, corn, and plain gelatin cubes. You have to mix it all up to get a good flavor. Hubby did not care for it because it was not sweet enough (yet he refused to add some condensed milk). It was my favorite dish of the entire meal. (I love cold, creamy, not-so-sweet desserts.) The portions don't match the price. While you get a humungous mound of rice, the meat is skimpy and entrees average about $20 each. And like most small places, there is a surcharge if you use a credit card instead of cash. Even with one meal removed, our bill was about $55 and would have been closer to $80. We do plan to go back and try some other dishes. Let's hope the salt content has lessened. (Remember chef: you can add salt but you can't remove it.)

There wasn't a bad bite of it. They were my favorite. Portions were great. $8.50 for the fried rice is excellent. We also ordered Sago Gulaman and halo-halo. There's an 18% service charge added to the check. Contrary to what a lot of reviews have noted, we weren't required to buy bottled water when we asked for water. We were offered tap water and were not charged. I would love to try the can of calamansi juice next time.

When I tried it, I noticed it wasn't sweet at all, so I asked my husband to go back and let them know. The woman at the register admitted they had forgotten to add the condensed milk. Unfortunately, by the time my husband returned to the car, the halo-halo had become watery from sitting while they corrected the mistake. What upset me most wasn't the mistake itself--everyone makes mistakes. It was the way we were treated afterward. Instead of apologizing, the employee blamed the weather and said, of course, it melted because my husband had taken it outside. She even rolled her eyes and gave us an attitude, as if the situation was somehow our fault. As long-time customers, we expected better customer service. A simple apology and a more courteous response would have gone a long way. I hope management addresses this, because we've always enjoyed coming here and would hate to see customer service decline.

The food here is truly authentic Filipino food although I've never been to the Philippines!! It's a buffet restaurant that's gives one a chance to try different dishes from their culture. The interior is very minimal which I didn't mind and gave me a sense of authenticity. If you want to go there you have to check their hours because they aren't open everyday and when they are open the hours vary! I heard they cater mostly to the cruise line industry. I truly enjoyed every single dish that I tried and can't wait to eat there again! 7/10

A good portion of food for the price and still hot when I got it back to my room. The amount of chicken was well balanced for the amount of noodles.

But if I was ever in the area again and had a hankering for chicken Pad Thai, I would go back for takeout.

It definitely was a hefty wait for the empanadas that has been trending on social media. You can tell that it is somewhat disorganized, as there was only one person outside helping with clearing the dishes, serving the dishes; one person taking orders from a nonstop line and one male in the back working up to go orders. I feel like if there was more organization, it would be better. However, the empanadas were very filling. One empanadas is enough to provide all the protein servings in a day. We ordered the beef empanadas, and it was definitely filled to the brim. It was an interesting take, with Filipino flavors of beef and cabbage stuffed inside, with a side of soy sauce vinaigrette. I also noticed a whole lechon placed on the table beside the cashier that looked like it is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. I would love to come back on a less busy day to try the hot foods on the menu and maybe give a better rating next time.

It's a small mom-and-pop place with an eclectic decor that really falls under a "hodgepodge" look. We arrived on a Saturday afternoon at 1:30 p.m. The place was quite busy and we could only see about two or three people that seemed to be working there. But there were more in the back. However, maybe a total of four or five. And there had to be about 30 patrons in the dining room, not to mention a nonstop line at the register. We ordered within 15 minutes of seating oursleves. But waited an hour and a half for our food. (Inquired several times. Got frustrated and almost left. But as luck would have it, it was one of our very few lazy Saturday afternoons. So, we decided to wait it out.) While we waited, we browsed the grocery area that displayed all sorts of chips, crackers, and sauces. There are even refrigerators and freezers with items to be purchased. (I got a bag of frozen Ube buns.) When the food arrived, it was (almost) worth the wait. We got four Fiesta Specials, with shrimp chips, lumpia, pancit, rice and adobo. (Three of us got pork adobo, one had chicken.) The pancit was ok (not salty like some reviewers reported), and the lumpia was crunchy and satisfying. Both adobos were perfect. The meat was moist and the vinegary soy sauce flavor was just right. We couldn't finish our meals (besides, we needed a little room for dessert). So, we brought home leftovers and shared a bowl of Halo Halo. I love the mixture of flavors and textures, the sweets, the beans, and the cool shaved ice. We got 2 pork and 2 beef empanadas to go (for dinner). We were surprised at our bill of more than $160. Our meals were about $19 each. The dessert was about $10. But the empanadas were $11 each for pork and $14 each for the beef. (Say what?) Plus my bag of frozen Ube buns. The empanadas were hefty (about the size of a large hand) and came with an accompanying soy sauce mixture. With a crunchy pastry pocket filled with meat and cabbage filling, it is big enough for a meal. But we didn't care for the extreme greasiness. Would prefer to spend that money on more adobo. I asked one of the ladies what would be the best time to visit the eatery to avoid the crowd and the long wait times. "Monday through Wednesday," she said. "We are always busy the rest of the week." The food is worth five stars. But combined with the slow and disorganized service, sadly I could only give it four stars.
