CASH OR ZELLE ONLY! I feel like I needed to mention that first so people don't get surprised after ordering. I was craving Filipino food, specifically sisig and sinigang, and found this place while searching. I ordered takeout. Parking was a pain because the lot is tiny, shared with other businesses, and it's a tight squeeze. They do have signs for spots reserved for their business, but those can still be taken/ignored, so if you have trouble finding an open spot, you'll probably need to park on the street. That said, the food was really good. I was genuinely impressed with the sisig ($14.95) and pork sinigang ($16.95), and the portions are pretty good too. Prices felt fair compared to other Filipino restaurants. I took photos of their sisig, sinigang, and garlic fried rice, and I also took photos of the menu because I noticed some outdated prices online. FYI, they add a 20% gratuity for parties of 5+ and reservations. The owner is nice, but more of a no-nonsense type, which I actually appreciated, though I can see how some people might be put off by that. The inside is definitely more of a hole-in-the-wall spot with a very local feel. I'd recommend this place and I'll be ordering from them again from time to time, mainly for the sisig lol. read more

This place is horrible. First of, parking is pretty much non existent. They only have one parking space for their patrons. By the way, they only have one neon sign through their windows making their restaurant difficult to find. When you walk in, they have a stench that hits you right in the face. Honestly, that alone we should have left. We only stayed because my mom wanted filipino food. And we wanted something other than Max's. But we regretted that decision. Right when we sat down, I was attacked by mosquitoes. How the hell do they have mosquitoes!?!?!? From the get go, it was a horrible experience. And for the food....it was just as bad. The sinigang and kare-kare tasted old and honestly no flavor. The crispy pata was sub par. It was just pata, not crispy. Their sauce for the crispy pata tasted like card board. They don't even have patis (fermented fish sauce) or suka (vinegar) on the table. The only thing that was ok about this place was the service tito provided. However, tito could use some revamping in his service. Like putting a smile on this face and possibly wearing a polo, not a worn out t-shirt. Also, we were the only people there. A small party of 3. Save your self and go to Acapulco down the street, or Raffis Place. If you want Filipino food, go to Nanay Gloria's in Eagle Rock. read more

The best Filipino restaurant, IMO. Frank is the best! I've been coming here since the days when his restaurant was still in Eagle Rock, and I've continued supporting him after the move to Glendale. The food is always consistent. Never disappoints. read more

I was told that the portions were big, but to me the serving sizes were a very small for the price. The dishes were homey, but nothing really wow-d me that made me want to return. I had this spot bookmarked for the bicol express (14.95) - one of the only spicy filipino dishes that I know of aside from Jollibee's Chicken Joy - spicy. The coconut + shrimp paste sauce was lovely, but here they do a seafood version which left something to be desired. I was imagining more richness, hearty protein and more kick. I was pretty disappointed especially looking at how it's usually made with thick cuts of meat submerged in spicy coconut sauce. The bihon (12.95) noodle dish was pretty forgettable. More like a carb filler to make sure were full. I think the best I've had was from a caterer. We ordered a pinakbet (14.95) for more veggies in our life which included very very bitter melon. The sauce was pure shrimp paste with nothing balance and the vegetables didn't seem like good quality. They charged 3 for plain white rice. Clearly the finger line trick wasn't used in the rice cooker because too much water and the rice was mushy. It really took away from the meal since rice is the vessel to the other dishes. Always a winner and favorite is lechon kawali (14.95). The portion was okay for the price, but the dip, texture and fatty pieces were great. This dish carried the meal especially since we were there for the crispy pata and they were out that day. But Spoon and Pork does a great version so I don't think I need to return here to try it. The meal ended with forced 20% gratuity. Unsure how that made any sense during lunch. We were the only people there and the service was cold and disinterested much like my tita when I tell her I dont have a girl friend. read more

I was craving Filipino food and my hubby found this place for us to try. All the food we got was delicious. I been wanting to eat sisig and this taste pretty good, but not how I remembered. Usually it will be in a sizzling plate but this wasn't. The Lechon was juicy and crispy. I definetly recommend it. The Miki bihon is a good mixture of fine noodles and thick egg noodles. It has good flavor and don't forget to squeeze the lemon on top.The garlic rice was good just wish it has more garlic. It was good to eat with the sisig and lechon. The service was a bit slow. The guy was cleaning, serving, cooking and doing everything. I give props to him. There was a lady behind the counter too and I don't know what she was doing but she did nothing at all. Overall good food and taste like a home style food dishes. read more

Food (4/5 stars): This is comfort food right here. It met my expectations, but there are better options for Filipino food in the greater LA area. I wish the portions were larger, too. If you plan to satisfy your Filipino cravings here, I recommend the Crispy Pata. Experience (3/5 stars): * Price: pricey, especially for the portion sizes * Wait Time: we had a reservation for a table, but the food was another story (read below) * Service: the restaurant was severely understaffed (I'm pretty sure there was a total of 2 workers), so the service missed the mark. Our food came at a snail's pace, one dish after the other. The food was fine, but the service is keeping me from coming back. You've been warned! * Parking: they have a parking lot behind the restaurant * Ambiance: it's a nice, small restaurant with indoor seating read more

The atmosphere of this restaurant reminds me of sharing a meal in someone's home, which I really cherish. I always order trays of Lumpia Shanghai for every holiday and family event, and people just can't stop raving about them--they're incredibly delicious and totally addictive! read more

I ordered Lumpia last December'23 and recently, pansit. Both tastes good and my colleagues like how they were cooked. Mr. Frank who takes my orders via phone is also nice. I want to order turon next time! read more

My wife doesn't crave Filipino food often, so the moment she said she wanted to have Filipino cuisine I jumped at the opportunity. The Glendale-Eagle Rock area has a lot of Filipino restaurants, and I ended up choosing this small restaurant in Glendale. The waiter was super nice to us and accommodating to our needs. I knew from watching Alvin Cailan's videos that I wanted to try the tortong talong (eggplant omelette) - this restaurant has rellenong talong which contains ground pork, so I decided to order that. My wife really wanted flan so we ordered flan. We also ordered for an entree guinataan langka, which is jackfruit with shrimp and and pork. We also got a side of garlic rice. The guinataan langka was good, a creamy stew that goes well with rice. The rellenong talong was absolutely amazing. The addition of banana ketchup caused this dish to remind me of the Japanese omurice, except instead of an omelette on rice it was an omelette with an entire eggplant inside. The banana ketchup gives it that sweet flavor that I get from ketchup with omurice. Absolutely my favorite dish of the night. The flan was good too, though the caramel was a bit on the sweeter side. The rellenong talong made this a five star experience for me, and I would for sure visit again. read more

Ordered here for the first time but it was a total fail! Adobo was dry, actually everything is dry and bland! I would never come back here.

We tried this Filipino restaurant for the first time. My friend recommended them and he was right. Their Karekare (beef oxtail peanut stew) was on point. We opted to pair with grilled pork belly instead of the usual crispy pata because my company were not big eaters and there were only 3 of us. The pork belly maybe on the chewy side but the marinade was really savory. I also had gulaman drink and it was tasty as well. We will definitely come back here, and to think.. we're from Vegas! ..but definitely a stop over!! read more

Fiesta Sa Barrio - Grilled pork belly was really savory. A definite re-order. - Filipino Near Me - Glendale, California

Came here to try for my first visit from a highly recommended source. I am from the Bay Area where there are many Filipino resteraunt galore. So I'm looking forward to trying this place in comparison. Came in on a weekday night 1 hour before closing and no customers were inside. Not sure why but that meant we had all the attention to ourselves. The menu look plentiful in choices and ordered dinuguan, kare-kare, pusit but we were served the calamari appetizer instead; still delicious non the less. We also got the crispy chicken skins which was highly recommended. This is one item in menu that I have not seen in any other Filipino resteraunt back in the Bay Area. This was awesomely and dangerously delicious! Every bite was crunchy to perfection! The other entree were also delicious. I especially liked the dinuguan. The kare-kare was ok but the sauce was too thick and not enough meat and vegetables in the mix. I would also have preferred the uncooked baguong condiment vs the cooked version which was served to us. I was also disappointed that the amount served for each entree was minimal. Entrees were served in small bowls or hot pots that were small in size. Even the rice for 4 people was only enough for like 2 people. We didn't even had enough rice to finish our small portioned entrees. We also had flan which was ok, not too sweet; but also in small size portion about 2 inches in diameter. I would come back again just to try other entrees in menu. They did not have a liquor license so no beer service. Till next time, thank you Frank for your service and hospitality. read more

We had the crispy pasta, mixed adobo and pancit bison. The crispy pasta was so bland even with the sauce it was still no good. The mixed adobo didn't taste like adobo at all. I think they used fish sauce instead of soy sauce. The pancit was good. Also all items were overpriced. read more

I came here with my family on a Sunday afternoon and the food here was amazing. The vibe of the place was very family oriented meaning everyone there is super nice and happy to have you dining there. Since it was a hot day we all got iced Calamansi drinks and to start we got the lechon kawali and the bulaklak. Both were very good and the vinegar paired very well with the bulaklak. Then we ordered the kare kare and sisig. The sisig was a little too wet but the crunch saved it and the flavor was on the dot. You can't go wrong with kare kare but I have to point out that the meat fell off the ox tail bone like butter and the bagoong made it taste even better. I recommend this place for anyone trying to find a nice Filipino spot with food that tastes authentic and homemade. read more

Fiesta Sa Barrio - Filipino Near Me - Glendale, California

Fiesta Sa Barrio is one of the few Filipino restaurants in LA that is open after 7/8pm on a Sunday. That alone gives them an edge when you're craving some late night eats. When we came in, there were no other customers. It seems that the restaurant is owned by a husband and wife duo. Lechon Kawali: So tender and juicy! Lots of places tend to overcook their lechon to the point that the skin is hard and the meat is dry. But the way they cook their lechon leaves it nice and crispy but still moist. A warning though is that it is on the oily side and can get you full really quickly. Lumpia Shanghai: Good egg rolls. They contain pork and shrimp. They had a good ratio of meat to wrapper and the perfect amount of chili sweet and sour sauce. Beef Steak (Bistek): Meat was nice and tender. The sauce itself could have had a little more depth of flavor, but the tenderness of the meat made up for it. BBQ Pork Skewers: Also really tender! The meat itself has a good ratio of meat to fat and the sauce/glaze is a good balance of savory with a little bit of sweetness. Rice: Reasonably priced. One order can easily serve 2 people. Halo Halo: Probably their weakest item that I ordered that night. It didn't really taste like anything until the ube ice cream finally melted. The toppings were also a bit lacking. Overall the most standout quality of Fiesta Sa Barrio was the tenderness of their meats. A lot Filipino places tend to overcook their meats to the point that the protein becomes chewy or stringy, but Fiesta Sa Barrio knows how to cook their meats. The taste of all their dishes gives a very home-cooked flavor that doesn't taste like other Filipino restaurants I've been to. A lot of reviewers commented on the interior of the restaurant having a lot of random items/papers/boxes in different corners of the restaurant. Yes, this is true. But it's not messy in an unclean sort of way. To be honest, I'm not really expecting a stellar ambience from a mom and pop, but yeah hiding away clutter can make a huge difference in the way the restaurant is received. read more

Being Filipino myself, I LOVE this place. It is as authentic as it can get. I've been going here for quite some time and it never disappoints. To anyone who wants to try Filipino food or want to have a lunch/dinner here, this is the spot. I have recommended many friends/family to this spot, and will continue doing so. I got the Beef Steak, Sisig, Garlic rice to pair with, mango juice, and sago gulaman during this trip around. If you haven't been here yet, you have to go now! read more

I wish we could give 1/2 point increments because I think this joint is more a three and a half rather than a full four. The ambiance of the place feels like it's seen it's heyday and after COVID hit they devolved somewhat. Their food though is notable with a few hits and misses. Their Nilaga is superb. Their kare-kare is so-so. Couldn't taste enough peanut to call it spectacular. Their crispy pata was good. Their dinuguan was mind blowingly good! Their halo-halo middling. But their flan was meh. Their piece de resistance- adobo rice - so addicting! So in summary eating here is a mixed bag of great stuff and slight disappointments. I've never been to a Filipino restaurant that was great at everything so this place is pretty much par for the course with a few birdies and the occasional eagles. Recommend? Yes for the ones they're good at. Pass on the others. read more

Food was good. If you have food restrictions, due to arthritic gout, I'd ask about the protein ingredients in their dishes. Restaurant can entertain large parties with reservation, but I they may be operating with a small crew. read more

I can't believe it's been this long but went in July with my family to show them my favorite Filipino spot. I was nervous that this business was no longer running but they were full and busy when we visited in the last week of July 2021. Service is slow as it's pretty mom and pop, busy, and I imagine COVID. The stars of the dinner were the chicharron bulaklak and crispy pata as they are dishes we would never make at home. Knocked it out of the park - everything was crispy and juicy inside, very well cooked. The clam soup was also stellar but noticed it was pretty sandy at the bottom. read more

Came In On A Late (8:15pm) Saturday Evening. I Do Recommend This Place. I Would Have Given Them 5 Stars, but The Service Was Really Slow. It Took More Than An Hour To Get The Food and Drinks.

Ordered $70 worth of food through Postmates and was continually checking the Postmates app for 1 hour and 15 mins to make sure my order was on time. The "latest estimated delivery" time comes and goes and I reach out to them to see what the issue is. No answer, but immediately after that I see my order status changes to "canceled" in the app. Mind you, I waited for over an hour for the food and they didn't have the decency to provide an explanation or even answer -- they simply canceled the order via the app after the time I should've received it. Now I'm starving and will have to go through the ordering/waiting process again from a different place. This was my first time ordering from this place and it's definitely my LAST. Thanks for nothing read more

Best Authentic Filipino soul food in the area. You shouldn't be expecting Michelin star service here. It's more of a hole in the wall type of ambiance. Favorites included Tocino, Calamari, Caldareta, Garlic Fried rice, and Fried chicken. They don't miss! read more

We were shocked at the prices. But what was even more shocking was to be served in disposable tableware. Everything was in styrofoam or aluminum. There wasn't even an attempt to make it feel like you were dining in a pricey restaurant and almost like you were eating of off a food truck. Their food is still decent but my goodness they need to up their game if they want to stay open. Unfortunately for us this will be our last time here. Very expensive to end up eating on cheap styrofoam plates. read more

Wow, you know the Filipino food's gonna be authentic af when everyone at the restaurant is Filipino. The restaurant interior is a fiesta in itself, thus earning its fitting name. The interior is decorated with bright celebratory colors, and the walls are lined with photos of famous people who have dined there. My friends and I came here after church and shared a lovely meal. It is best to eat family style, so you can try all the flavors that Filipino food has to offer! I can't remember the names of everything we ordered, but I know that the Kare Kare and the Shrimp Paste Fried Rice were the stars of the meal. I LOVED the peanut sauce that the Kare Kare was served in. The Beef Tripe was so tender and rich in flavor. It came with 4 chunks of beef. I wish the eggplant was cooked softer, but overall it was a great dish. The Shrimp Paste Fried Rice was moist and flavorful as well. The moisture was from the paste and not from the rice, which I liked. It tasted even better with some peanut sauce from the kare kare. Service was fast and friendly. This is definitely a great place to stop for a meal with friends. Plus, you can get ice cream at Kiddos' after, since it's right next door! Private plaza parking is also always a win! read more

Same owner, restaurant has an upgraded look. They have a small parking lot in the back which is nice. We ordered the Kare Kare, Sinagang w/ Bangus, Adobo Rice, and Lumpia Shanghai.

I love everything that I ordered here. The place is absolutely clean and the staff is very helpful with food selections.

Soooo disappointing. Our order came out 45 minutes after we ordered. The food? You are better off buying from a those places that have Filipino food to go. Quality is the same. You would have saved a ton of money. And you have your 45 minutes of your life back. You want to laugh? Order their Sisig. Oh God. This IS NOT Sisig. I gave them plenty of chances. I want Filipino restaurants to succeed. But no. Never again. read more

Service is so slow and I think it is run by only 2 people. The same two people who seat you, take your order (albeit after some time), cook the food, and then serve it to you. The middle aged lady who took our order, didn't even make eye contact when she took our order. Not when she brought our beverages to the table. We each said thank you to her and she kept walking away. No acknowledgment whatsoever. Our food arrived one at a time. From the appetizer at 45 mins, then slowly the rest of the food. I ordered tofu and pork and she told me they ran out. I was ok with that. After well into our meal, we ask about the adobo hito. My husband had to approach her at the counter. She was facing us but even though we tried flagging her down, she did not notice. She YELLED at me from the counter! She said, "I told you we were out of tokwa at baboy!" I then asked her to come closer instead of yelling at me from across the restaurant. Can you believe she rolled her eyes at me!!!!! No customer service at all! She never approached me to explain, discuss, nothing. The man was more professional. He approached our table and asked what was it that we ordered. I told him it was the adobo hito. He said that she didn't know we ordered it. And he apologized. He offered to make it but said that it would take a while. Told him to just cancel it. We've already waited too long. Never ever coming back here. There was so much clutter everywhere. I couldn't take pics of it all because surprisingly there were customers. But there were tables with cleaning supplies on top and all kinds of other junk. This should have been a clear indication of the service. So after all this - does it even matter if the food was good?? read more

Tried this place for the first time today. It was near my house and I wanted Filipino food. The restaurant looked nice but my order was for take out. I got the dinuguan and the sisig. They were so good. They were exactly how I like my sisig and dinuguan. My only thing is the price I was charged did not match the pricing on the menu on Yelp. It should have been (according to the menu) $20 for both, but I didn't want to say anything and just paid the total. I paid $15 more than expected. I would recommend updating the menu on Yelp so no one else gets surprised when ordering from you guys. But I have no complaints on the food. It was delicious. read more
