Maynila On Main Street

I'm Pinoy myself, so I know really good authentic Filipino food when I try it. These are the genuine flavors of my homeland, and I love how everything inside is presented as well (GMA on the TV, iconic decor and images from the Philippines, etc.) As you are waiting in line awesome items are available for purchase, like the tangy achara (best with fried pork skins or chichaerones) and diles (anchovies). I had Kare kare (oxtail beef with veggies like bok choy in a peanut stew) and lechon kawali (roast pork to a crisp). Both were flawless. Kare kare was savory and thick and nutty. Lechon was salty and satisfying. Customer service kindly provided an ice cup for my refreshing calamansi juice, even when I was a klutz and spilled the first. Great place and homely vibes. Highly recommended.

We ignored this place living in this area for about 8 years, so don’t make the mistake I made. The “nilagang baka” (beef broth with veggies) is definitely recommended. Their “pancit” (Filipino’s version of chow mein), “pakbet” (veggies with pork and shrimp paste) and the “beef kaldereta” (Filipino style beef stew) were awesome and really authentic taste on my opinion.

I ordered for delivery. The mini lumpias are so good. I got a beef skewer dinner and fried chicken, and the pork,shrimp,bihon noodles. The food is tasty, the portions are generous. The food was packed neatly,with plenty of sauces and utensils. Some places skimp on sauce,don't give utensils or give small portions, not this place. It was all good, and reasonably priced.
