Mama Fina's has been one of my favorite Filipino restaurants since their old Elmwood Park location,…read moreand the food is still delicious in Hackensack. The pork sisig is a must-have here. We also had the Bicol Express, which was spicy and simple. There is plenty of street parking plus extra parking in the back. I also like that they sell small grocery items inside the restaurant. The service is not as friendly as I remember from the Elmwood Park days, but the food still makes up for it. I'll always stay loyal to Mama Fina's. Small fact is I actually met Mama Josefina herself.

Came here on a Friday afternoon. I been to the other location a while back, it's brighter space in…read moreHackensack. I got the bbq pork with garlic rice ($17.75). On the menu it says 2 sticks but it came with 4. The pork was sweet and has a nice char on it for a Smokey taste. I tried their spaghetti and it was surprisingly really good. Not sure if it's Filipino spaghetti but whatever it is, def something I will get in my next visit. I think there is a parking lot in the back? I saw a customer come through the back. I tried their sisig years ago in their old location, I'm assuming they are using the same recipe which was good. If you haven't tried their spaghetti with fried chicken, I highly recommend that dish, especially if you are hungry. * Street parking * Filipino Grocery store inside * Coffee/Drink station available

Pork sisig the way we like it! They also sell frozen chicken sisig to heat up at home.read more

Decided to try this place out since we were around the area. 2 stars for friendly service but…read moreoverall, food was bland.... Pork sisig was literally just fried pork, no seasoning, didn't drain the oil, and chopped up scallions and onions for garnish. Beef tapa was ok. A little tough but had some flavor. I was excited to try it since there's no Filipino places in Hackensack. The restaurant looks dead, no one is there. There's a reason for the lack of reviews.... Unfortunately, won't be going back.

Surprisingly they were easy to get to off Route 17. The store may be a little bigger than before, but more modern and you can get a better look at the food trays here. Besides prepared foods, they have other Filipino items for sale here and some are even imported from the Philippines. So I got my Lechon Kawali, it was a big block and they chopped it for me. But it had a little more fat than I like but a few minutes in the oven to melt some of it off is all I needed to do, and it was still really tasty and crispy so my craven was satisfied.

This is a hidden gem for good and affordable Filipino food…read more Though it might look like a plain little restaurant, when you walk in, you are greeted by such friendly people who are always so helpful and sweet when you have questions, especially if you don't know what certain dishes are. The restaurant is cantina style so you order what you want and they pack it for you. I go there specifically for their "breakfast all day" deal, which includes garlic fried rice, 2 eggs, and your choice of protein/dish, along with a bottle of water for - guess how much?! - $11 cash or you could pay with a credit card with the additional 3% credit card fee. But you get sooooo much food! I couldn't finish everything, so I had to take the rest home. I usually get the longsilog, which is a sweet and savory sausage. Soooo good! When I went this time, I decided to try their tapsilog (marinated beef which is also sweet and savory) and that was delicious, too. My mouth is watering thinking about the meal I had there. Next time, I do also want to try the daingsilog, which is the dried fish. I love Filipino dried fish but not the fish afterwards when I cook it at home, so this is a good place to get this if you want it. If you love Filipino food or want to try Filipino food, this is definitely the place. Again, super sweet people who work there and all their customers are super nice, too. This is the place that everyone seems to stop by for a quick and filling and delicious meal either to take home or eat there. It got pretty busy after I sat down to eat. There are other Filipino restaurants in Bergenfield but I personally like this place because it's simple, authentic, home-cooked food, and it's cantina style, so it's not overpriced. There are sit down Filipino restaurants but they are more expensive with different but they do have more extensive menus. So, it's up to you what kind of dining experience you want. Things to know before you go: -They do have other proteins/dishes other than what is on the menu, so definitely ask if they have anything else they would recommend. -Don't forget to get some vinegar from the big jug to dip your protein in. Elevates the umami of your food! They have condiment cups at the counter for you to get your vinegar to eat there or to take home. -When you order, they simply give you the food and you have to grab your own utensils and napkins which are at the counter. -I also got some Shanghai lumpia, too, and they are 50 cents each. Theirs are really good! -They also have bubble tea. -Seating is limited, so if you are a big group, it might not be possible for everyone to sit, so plan accordingly. Maybe get it to go and eat at someone's house or the park?

Tons of options with my favorite being the lumpia. There were also a variety of pork and chicken dishes plus some desserts. The pancit noodles and fried rice were good too.

Ambiance (3/5): Not the fanciest looking spot but feels authentic like a mom and pop restaurant in the Philippines.

Classic dishes include pancit, adobo, sinigang, kare-kare, and lechon. They even include dipping sauces on the side. Dessert is included, however if you want to indulge in halo-halo that comes at a separate charge but worth it. Seating area is large and tables are plentiful. There is no table service, but it's not needed or missed at the self service Sunday buffet. The operators are busy hustling food and answering phones but chat with a smile when asked questions. Such good Filipino food, plentiful and at a great price should be bookmarked in your favorites.

Turon! Best turon I ever had! If you are craving for turon this is the place to go!…read more Location: It is located in Bergenfield. The indoor has no seating but there is a small grocery at the side. Basically you order in the counter and pay. Parking is accessible at the street Service: She was nice, I preordered to I just have to pickup my turon. Food: Turon here is to die for but im pretty sure there other food is good as well. Btw turon is deep fried banana wrapped in a spring roll wrapper glazed with caramel. The turon here is delicious, very crunchy and sweet but the bananas inside are smooth. Price rating: 5/10, i usually buy 30 pcs of turon for $35 Will definitely come back here every time I visit NJ. Maybe ill try their other food! But definitely the turon is the best!
