    Searched for pinoy food options in Artesia and Daniela's Kitchenette actually was the top option. They are located inside Fresh Catch Supermarket. They have a small selection, but everything is very good. This was perfect for my friend and I. We each ordered the special combo with 2 items which starts at $ 14.99. We ordered 4 different items (Kare- Kare, Pork Sinigang, Sisig, Menudo) and happy to report, not only were the portions generous but all 4 dishes were 5/5. I overheard 1 customer saying their BBQ here is the best, will have to try that next time. Would definitely come back here again.

    This place is so good if you want Filipino food. Came around 11am. Their breakfast platter had ended but I got the special combo that's $15 and comes with rice and 2 dishes. All the dishes are well seasoned and go great with rice. The people working there were super nice as well. The guy that helped us gave us recommendations that were on point. The dining area is pretty big since it looks like they're the only restaurant. Tables were clean and it's easy to navigate around. The restaurant is located inside the grocery store but apparently they open early and there's a side entrance you can use if the grocery store isn't open yet. Will def be back since they have a large selection of foods.

    Food was ok, but doesn't really compare to Pinoy Pinay or some of the other filipino food places in the area. I've heard that the breakfast is better, but we missed it by 15 minutes. We got the adobo and the skewer but they were both not really great. Might try again one day for breakfast just to see if that's better.

    Found this hidden gem this morning. The Pilipino breakfast was delicious and fresh, fairly priced at $8.49 per plate. The lugaw (rice soup) was tasty. It is located inside an Asian market. They open at 7AM, but the market doesn't open until 8AM. I almost drive away, but I'm glad I called because the nice lady who answered told me that the entrance is on the right side of the building - a small door down an alley that I would not have known about. I will go back to try other entrees.

    Two item combo.  Grilled pork, Jeprox (salted, dried smelt fish) with garlic rice ( $13.99):  typical but comfort food, 8/10 rating.

    Went here on a Friday morning because I was craving Asian food after primarily eating American food for the past 4 days on a cruise ship. There were already a ton of options to choose from despite arriving there at 9:45 am. Two item combo. Grilled pork, Jeprox (salted, dried smelt fish) with garlic rice ( $13.99): the pork was tender and juicy with a decent amount of fat. The jeprox was crispy with the typical salty flavor, but it was even better when vinegar was added. The garlic fried rice was fluffy with mild garlic flavor. Overall, it was an 8/10 rating. The ambiance is relaxed, as it is on the right side within the grocery store with plenty of tables to dine in, and about half of the patrons take their food to go. The service was fast and attentive. I'd return here after my next cruise.

    Chayote, tofu & shrimp dish. Very yummy.
    Katie J.

    I've hit many a Filipino resto and Daniela's is definitely the best "turo turo" (just "point" and eat right away style) spot in the south bay. All the dishes I've tried are reliably spot on flavorful - Filipino comfort food at its best. Their lechon kawali / fried pork belly is crispy (never chewy) and melts in your mouth. It comes with traditional sweet-ish mang tomas brown sauce but I prefer to ask for suka / vinegar sauce on the side - cuts through the fat better. When you get a combo (around $15 for 2 items & rice), they hook you up with a generous portion plus sabaw (broth from their soup of the day) on the side! I love their nilagang baka / beef soup with marrow bone broth. Good catering options too! I ordered a tray of their lumpia for a birthday party and it went like hot cakes. Nice crunch and more flavorful than any other catering I've had in the area. If you want to try their yummy Filipino breakfast spread, definitely arrive before 9am - this is a beloved local hole in the wall and by 9am the options start selling out.

    This is the second review I am doing for Mekeni Pinoy's Pride. We already know their food items…read morehere are of good quality and taste delicious and we also experience great and friendly service whenever we dine here. We have held a baby shower party for our daughter here and she and her husband were happy with the turnout and the outcome then. With such wonderful experience here, we decided to celebrate my wife's milestone birthday with a buffet lunch here last Saturday, July 25. I really appreciate the great collaboration through easy communication and coordination with Jenny, their manager here. She helped me ensure all went well from preparation to execution of the celebration. Almost all our guests raved about how good and delicious the foods were, even their lemongrass iced tea, which a lot of them loved. The costs were fair and reasonable as well as some special accommodations and a couple of complimentary food items by the owner for us for hosting our party here at their Mekeni Restaurant. Thank You and Kudos to the staff for their friendly, consistent, reliable and great overall service their crew and staff rendered to us that day. The team was headed by Jenny, Vanessa and Robert! Aside from the fact that they could have had more electric fans there that day to regulate the uncomfortable warm temperature inside the restaurant that day, everything else went very well and wonderful. We highly recommend Mekeni Pinoy's Pride for dining in, picking up and also having parties to celebrate special events. Let us all continue supporting this Filipino restaurant which makes truly very good quality and delicious Filipino dishes at reasonable prices! Let's Come on down to Mekeni's!

    TLDR: It's an overpriced buffet for $25 given the options. If they'd drop the price to..... $20,…read morebut more realistically $23, it MIGHT be worth it. I also feel that the place would be better if they included all the staple Filipino breakfast items (Pandesal, Corned beef, Filipino hotdog, bangus). The taste is arguably 4 stars, but the price point drops the overall feeling to 3-3.5 stars. Food Tocino - It's fine. It tasted kind of store bought, but I think it's good enough to get a few times. Longganisa - It's just.... bad. They were trying to go for the sweet style longganisa, but it missed the spot completely. Beef Tapa - Probably the best option from the viands made available. It's the right blend of saltiness and sourness. The beef also had a good texture. Garlic Rice - I'm glad they didn't mess up one of the cornerstones of Filipino breakfast. It could've been better, but the general quality of the food here was already low enough that it made this one of the better items. Pancit Guisado - Dry, filled with starch filled lobster balls, and could generally use some more stuff in it. I regret getting this and should've eaten more garlic rice Fried Shrimp - I'm glad it's easy to peel, but the shrimp itself is generally flavorless. Egg - I was scared that these mass produced eggs may not have had a runny yolk, but I'm glad to see enough liquid to praise it Tokwa't baboy - The bronze medalist of the meal. The fried tofu was crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. The pork belly is on the drier end, but it's small enough that it's not hard to eat. Nilaga - Good. Probably my favorite bite. It's seasoned well, the beef is soft, and there's a good amount of vegetables. Champorado - Decent. Shame that I didn't see the milk when I was getting it. Maybe they ran out, maybe they were refilling it as I was getting. Buko Pandan - Very good. Is it store bought? Maybe. It doesn't matter, still good. Service: You pay first before you're assigned a table. There are a lot of staff who are there to keep the tables clean and to mix the food every now and then to prevent the tray from drying out. Ambiance: Bright, spacious, and inviting. A very good place to have Sunday breakfast / brunch.

When we got in and got sat immediately we could not decide on what we wanted. My wife wanted the Chicharron bulaklak, and I wanted Pancit bihon. We also added an order of Bichol Express with Lechon kawali and a grilled boneless bangus. Service was good. Food came out quickly and correctly. The taste was exactly what we were looking for. We decided not to have dessert there as their halo halo was over priced at $16.00. The food here has changed over the years for the better. The bichol express had a nice consistency from the coconut milk and the spice was not over powering. The bulaklak was nice a crispy and did not have an oily texture. The pancit also has pieces of Lechon Kawali which is not traditional but have a. Ice texture contrast. Last was the grilled bangus. Nicely grilled and charred with a fresh accompaniment of tomatoes and salted duck egg. It was a nice meal to bring us back to reality and why we live in this area that has so many Filipino restaurants.

We came on a Thursday night and we were seated right away. There were larger groups celebrating birthdays occupying jointed tables and chairs. We ordered the following dishes: *Lechon Kawali, crispy pork belly, my girlfriend loves it! Well seasoned and the crispy pork belly skin leaves a pleasant sensation upon chewing; *Bangus Sisig, milkfish sautéed; *Pancit palabok, rice noodles mixed with gravy; *Tortang Talong, eggplant omelet. All the dishes are tasty; however, I could not indulge after a few bites, they are too rich for me. Perhaps I should have eaten them with some plain white rice.

Each order had crispy skin and came with a side of sauce that was sweet and slightly sour. My favorite was definitely the Cebuchon. Such tender, savory meat! After driving +40 minutes, the skin still had a nice exterior. I do like how minimal their menu is - you can tell they are pork-oriented. I can definitely see myself visiting again or even ordering a catering tray for the holidays.

Spacious, able to accommodate larger groups. The entrance has bamboo furniture that everyone who grew up in Philippines would recognize.

Very courteous waiter and waitress , both were attentive to all the patrons.
