Next time, I'm gonna have to have it there with some rice! It was soooo good! The service was super nice! It took a long while for the food to come out but it was worth the wait! The place is cute with minimal fun, festive Filipino decor. Super clean and doesn't smell like patis as soon as you walk in. Can't wait to come again!

They have the roasted garlic peanuts, the crunchy ukoy that is perfectly crispy, halo-halo, flan etc. all at the register so you can add them onto your order for a snack or a dessert. Now for the food! The BBQ pork kababs 100% flavor and tender; not dry or tasting re heated yeilding tough meat. The curry was excellent in the amount of curry and coconut we got in each bite. My absolute favorite is the Tapsilog (beef, egg, garlic rice) because their beef tasted well marinated. The service is good, you can speak Tagalog or English when placing an order. The interior features a framed origin story, bold colors and tables to sit at.

However, there is more than meets the eye. Frankly speaking, you will find yourself comforted with a meal that is made with love and passion that spans across a whole ocean. If you're new to Filipino food, you might be wondering what makes it unique as its own cuisine. Well, the art and wonder of Filipino cuisine is in the immense regional diversity for each of its signature dishes. From something as "simple" as adobo to the complexities of diniguan, you will find that the recipes for these dishes are nuanced by region and each island of the Philippines. The diversity in the recipes reflects the multi-cultural aspects within Filipino culture. This makes each experience special when it comes to Filipino cuisine, because you are tasting that particular recipe deriving from that particular region/island. With that being said, Amer-Fil delivers its own unique recipe on these signature dishes. The initial take at the store front might not be anything spectacular or worth noting - perhaps just another simple small mom-and-pops grocery store. Non-perishable cans of consumables and other Filipino/Asian-centric goods line the shelves in seemingly a non-descript fashion - a sort of "if-you-know-you-know" type manner. Finally, as you get to the back, you encounter the dining area. The open area is outfitted with several tables, while the service counter offers a display of the precooked foods through a transparent glass screen of the buffet somewhat in a similar fashion to other Filipino restaurants found in the New Jersey/New York area. While the appearance may not be appealing, consider for yourself the history and background of the establishment. That the story is rich in context with relation to the generations of Filipinos that have immigrated to the U.S. and made their home here. From humble beginnings, you can't help but imagine the pride and happiness in being able to "make it in America" and how that came to fruition through owning of your own business. Yet, there is that piece of the mind and soul that remains back at home across the ocean - something that never really fades with time. What it is like to make something for yourself and your family is truly remarkable and arguably one of the greatest accomplishments that deserves recognition. Now take that same pride and happiness, and infuse it with the food. This is ultimately what you will find here at Amer-Fil. We tried the afritada, diniguan, mongo, BBQ pork on a stick, chicken adobo, and pancit. We were amazed at how rich in flavor each of these dishes were, coupled with the unique textures of each dish. If you prefer food on the vinegary-side, you will most definitely enjoy these dishes - especially the diniguan. Typically, diniguan is not my jam due to its cooked-pork-blood consistency, but Amer-Fil has made me a fan with their own take on it. The pancit is on the peppery side, but that gives it an interesting smokey flavor that I haven't previously experienced. You can tell that the food was cooked with love based on how genuine the owner's smile as he presents the plate of food to you - indicative of the pride in that he is to be able to share a piece of his home with you. I assure you that you will not be disappointed eating here at Amer-Fil. A gem in Central Jersey!

They were so happy to have learned how we've come to appreciate Filipino food thanks to Blue's Clues, that my husband promised to bring my son and I into the store. Sadly, bibingka was not in stock and not on the menu. This place has homemade food ready to go; hot and ready to grab and go or eat in store in their little shop. Before we left, I had asked if they had halo-halo, and I got the warmest, friendliest smile from the auntie working in the back kitchen. My son wanted to further assist her in the back, but when she came out and proudly showed it to us, it was too perfect looking to eat! This is by far my favorite summer dessert that's not only refreshing, but simply delicious! Next time I hope to bring home some BBQ based solely on their recommendations! Give this place some well deserved love!
