I have eaten at Fiesta Filipina three times now. The first time I was there, the pancit was the best I'd ever eaten, and the BBQ chicken was just marvelous. I am a sucker for pancit, so I ate it the next 2 times I was there...but something had changed. The 2nd time, it was so full of big celery chunks, that's about all that was in it. The noodles were a lot thinner than before (and clumped together), and I literally had 2 small pieces of chicken in it. The 3rd time it was better than the 2nd, but still not as good as the first time....I guess it depends on who makes it. Also on our 3rd visit, my BBQ chicken was very cold.
My husband likes their lechon (sp?), and has had it twice. He has also had the sinigang, and I tasted some. (Honestly, I like my hubby's better, but he said it was good).
The fried plaintains (not sure the proper name for them) are wonderful!
Overall, I think (other than the pancit), that their portion size is just a bit on the small size.
Taste: Pretty good, but some consistency issues.
The place looks very nice, although we have always gotten our food to go, so I cannot comment on how comfortable it is.
Will definitely go again.....but am losing patience on the consistency of their pancit.
