Oh man was I excited when I heard there was a Barrio Fiesta in Arizona. The one back home is BOMB and all I kept thinking on my way to this place was "lechon manok, lechon manok, lechon manok". But WTF, the waiter didn't even know what lechon manok was!! He was probably thinking "this white girl is crazy, a lechon can't be a manok!"
Anyhoo, I settled for fried chicken and lechon kawali. Yeah it was good, but not having the lechon manok killed it for me. Also, Barrio Fiesta's are usually good substitutes for mom's cooking.. but this place made me miss mom even more. If i can't find a better Filipino place, I'll probably be back.
