I live in the west valley and the drive to Mesa to eat here was worth it. Food was delicious!! Pinakbet was made to perfection. Vegetables were firm and not over cooked at all. They had plenty of meat unlike other places who only add three pieces of meat or sometimes nothing. Lechón kawali was crispy and tasty. Bangus had a nice crisp flavor but I would have preferred a more marinated fish. I personally like the sourness of a marinated fried bangus. Kare kare was too thick for my liking but the flavor was good, there were only two oxtails for the $12.00 dish, they could have added tripe or meat. Halo halo is really good! Cassava and suman worth buying. Overall it was a good authentic meal and I would rather drive there versus any other Filipino establishment in Az. I'm from San Diego so of course I know my Filipino dishes plus I cook them. Last but not least, staff is super friendly!
