Boka Grindz is caterer and foodtruck that serves up food in the style of Philippines, Guam, and…read moreHawaii. I got to try them out since they showed up at a food festival. I tried out their spam musubi and an ube (Philippine purple yam) queso blanco siopao (Philippine steamed bun). This whole fare cost me exactly $10. I liked how the rice for the spam musubi was very warm and fluffy. I was hoping for more ube in the siopao but the overall taste of the food was pretty good. The workers were friendly and offered samples; something no other vendor at the festival was doing.

My family moved to Phoenix in June 2025 and Casa Filipina was one of the first places I visited…read more Underestimating the desert summer heat, I declined the hostess' invitation to sit down for a meal. I'd say the welcoming nature is very on brand as this restaurant should feel like you've just dropped off your mom's gift to aunty, and now she's eager for you to eat something and relax a little bit. Cozy, sweet and homey. What I managed to step out with was the bibingka, which even after waiting a couple more days to eat it, heated up in the toaster oven nicely. It is a bummer to see on Yelp that I'm unable to visit again. I'm ready to try a little more of the menu.

Delicious food and wonderful desserts! We ordered too many food because they all tasted good. The…read moreomelette had more ground pork than eggplant. It goes well with ketchup, rice, and rice noodle. Rice noodle is very tasty, with more flavorful than the side dish version. Chicken inasal took time to cook but was worth the wait. I also like their vinegar dipping sauce for the chicken. Lumpia is crunchy and tasty. We could not stop enjoying them. Even though we could not finish all the food, we had to have halo halo. It is so refreshing especially on the hot day. Then we got some tarts and bread to go.

This cute little hole-in-the-wall is the kind of place that reminds you why some of the best meals aren't always at the fanciest restaurants.

I'm not a Filipino food connoisseur, but I had an excellent meal here!…read more Stopped in on a Saturday evening and it was pretty busy. The space is on the smaller side and there were two large groups. We were quoted 30-40 minutes but thankfully it only ended up being about a 10 minute wait. We ordered the lumpia/pancit plate, lechon, sisig, and bbq pork. We crushed this meal! We were so full by the end but everything was so good it was hard to stop eating. My favorite was the sisig and pancit, and the lumpia was addictive as well. The lechon was good even though there were a couple tougher pieces. The bbq pork was excellent as well, perhaps a tiny bit tough, but the sauce and char of the meat was perfect. The food came out pretty quickly and the service was great. I can't wait to be back!

The sisig lacked depth of flavor, and the BBQ platter had thick cuts of pork that were unfortunately not very tender, making them difficult to eat.

The service, however, was friendly, prompt, and attentive.

If you love intestines grilled with fatty texture then this is a must for you. It's worth the adventure along with the famous filipino hotdog which most Asians who grew up eating as a kid. If you can handle eating kare-kare or Mexican menudo, then you'll love this fatty goodness. I did not know what pork bangs was until I asked what it was. Worth it! This alone gave this place a 5 star for street food. First Time Customer Via Uber Eats First Impressions This place is located at Highland Food Hub which is a commercial kitchen that has other food/beverage related businesses. Banana Turon- It's really good All Day Breakfast Combos- Good. Just for a quick meal. One egg not two. If you want something close to Midtown or Uptown filipino food this place is good. I haven't tried their other menu so I really can't say anything. As for value with two egg breakfast, stick with Halo-Halo on 35thAve+Dunlap $10.50. This place is closed on Mon or Tue. Check Highland Food Hub for hours. Their fried rice is huge(no photo). I still have to try it.

Not there anymore, closed months ago, they need to update their yelp info…read more Fyi: this address is a pick up window for several food businesses, its a one man band type of thing, shared kitchen by several cooks, different food category, theres a kiosk to order your food and window to pick up your order. Sketchy area, dark street, u go into a parking lot, almost looked like a food truck parking, then theres a structure, no windows, only doors to go into then u see a keypad to press and gets confused if youre in the right place lol. What a trip. I thought I was in some kind of a prank to be honest. When I finally made it inside the guy looked at me and asked if he can help me, I asked if theres any filipino food available lol, he said nuhhh u gotta go to so and so street its really close, which I replied, ok thanks, and left.

Tried the spicy beef lonnganisa & egg breakfast sandwich. With a spicy sauce and pickled jalapeños, the soft and slightly sweet bun compliments the salty sausage and egg really well. SO delicious! Also grabbed a few pastries to try: the Silvana cookies and classic brazo de Mercedes (soft meringue rolled around a firm lemon curd filling). Perfect with tea or black coffee! The space is clean and airy, with plenty of seating. Will need to come back and try their flavored coffees, which seem popular and their Sansrival cake and Une brazo de mercedes (which they had sold out of today)!

I encountered this lovely food truck again at my second time attending the Peoria Arts and Cultural…read moreFestival. I was so glad they made it out again as I had a great experience the last time. I waited about 30 minutes between standing in line to picking up my order. It was reasonable given the large crowd at this event. Their menu was slightly different than what I remembered on my first visit but nonetheless, I ended up ordering the pork adobe plate and lumpias. Now, they offered 2 versions of the pork adobe this time around - the plate and bowl with the plate being a dollar more. When I ordered the pork adobe plate last time, it came in a standard to-go box with the pork, rice, and 2 or 3 lumpias. What I received this time was their bowl and no additional lumpias beyond what I ordered separately (9 mini lumpias). I was confused when I received my order but I wasn't going to make a big deal over a dollar difference. The staff here was great and helped me pack my lumpia order into a box when I told them that I was going to take everything home to eat instead of at the event. Many of their items were served in small paper trays so this was very much appreciated for them to be able to help me bring everything home easier. The pork adobe was exactly as I remembered last time; absolutely delicious and tender. Sadly, I had a big bay leaf in my order and accidently started to eat it as I didn't see it. That was a not so nice surprise. The lumpias were really miniature but packed a lot of great flavor. If I can buy them on a regular basis, I would happily do so. I hope I can run into them again soon!

Calamansi juice is a rare sight so I was excited to try it. Instead, I got a 8.4 oz grocery can where calamansi isn't even the main ingredient. Even worse, it was at room temperature when the weather was hot. The BBQ skewer was cold and thus not very enjoyable. At least the lumpia was warm and crispy. I was supposed to get 9 but I really got 8.5 since one of the lumpias was half the size of the others. Overall, I had better value for food at other food trucks.
