Closed on Wednesday and Thursday. I happened to be in the neighborhood recently around noon and decided to try this place. Located on Ewen in Queensborough part of New West, it is not super convenient for people living outside this area. There is no other restaurants here except maybe Frankie G about half a km away. So it is a deliberate decision to dine here, not a "oh I passed by and decided to try" thing. Street parking is available. The neighborhood is pretty quiet. The menu is on the board. It is all about the silogs. They also sell Sans Rival cakes. I think only as a whole cake and not in slices. I don't see many cakes so probably it's for pre-order? I didn't know what to order as I rarely had silogs. I remembered my Filipino coworker raving about bangsilog (fried baby milkfish) and decided to get that. The fish was freshly fried. The eggs were done as requested (over easy)and served over garlic rice. The fish was nice but had many bones. I'll skip that in future. The garlic rice was so good. Their in house hot sauce was phenomenal. Spicy and sour. The eggs were good too. The owner and other staff checked on me often to see if everything was fine. It is a very homely place. I noticed the owner (lady boss) asked a young couple if the food was alright when they were paying as she noticed it wasn't finished. She then suggested them to pack it away and got them a to go box. It had a whole motherly/auntie vibe. Many of the diners are Filipinos. That's how you know it's an authentic place. When I was laying, I noticed a basket of mini muffins. I just had to get one to try. Ube bytes (1-2 bites). At $5.95 for 6 minis, they are not cheap. They were so good! It was very sweet that I thought they added condensed milk. Nope it was sugar. Cream cheese was listed in the ingredients too. Perfect with unsweetened tea or coffee. Great place for Filipino breakfast and baked goods. I wish there is more baked stuff.

Such a good Filipino breakfast place just in Queensborough area!! There's not many Filipino…read morerestaurants that do silogs and this is definitely one of the top places to get them. A no frills type of restaurant - service is prompt, people are quick to eat and leave, and you're always satisfied. Along the wall is the menu and you can pick up to 3 things to go alongside rice and 2 eggs (your style). This time around I opted for the tocino and lechon, and both were really good. I've also ordered the tapa and that could taste a little tough just because of the meat itself, but also a good option. The portions are quite big and I'm usually taking some home for leftovers. Protip: get sunny side up or over easy eggs so you can use the yolk as the dipping sauce too!!

Thinking of coming here for a quick bite? Don't! The service is horrible. Food is decent.read more

This is one of the few filipino restaurants my family go to. Not just because it's a filipino…read morerestaurant, but because of the amazing food and atmosphere it has! Its restaurant has a storefront, while the restaurant is just to the left of it. We sat down and ordered, and our food came out within minutes of ordering. The service was excellent; while the restaurant is usually slow, the staff took care of our order, double-checked with us, and were super friendly. I gave a 4-star because it felt like their food/menu had changed just a bit-the beef pares and dinakdakan were a little sweeter than usual-but overall amazing. Would recommend La Meza Grill when looking for a local filipino restaurant at Delta/Surrey!

In the end I bought a pack of fried crispy fish. It was ok, not as good as the one I got from another Filipino grocery/convenience store (has since closed down). When it's done nicely, you can also crush the fried fish to add to stir fry noodles or add to your home made dumplings or wontons for that extra Unami flavor. This was not good enough to give that Unami taste. The staff was obviously bored when I was there and I felt like I was an irritant to disrupt her day when I wanted to pay. Never went back since.

Cash or Debit only. Pork sisig - this is the non-grilled version of sisig. More of a precooked meat and then tossed as a salad. There are only pork meat chunks and no pigs ears. Dressing is tasty but I like it with crispy pork skin. Beef Kaldereta - very tender beef meat. Sauce is flavorful and tomato-y. Pork Adobo - pork was soft but not much adobo vinegary taste to it. As usual, the containers are very tiny at Filipino restaurants. $7 for the small one. I saw someone get the combo and they don't give you very much. It's a small plastic tray.

It made us feel like we hit the jackpot. Numerous families with multiple generations were seated, visiting and enjoying their food. No music, but the sound of happy families spending time together.

True, real and worth it.

My husband and I had tried this place a few years ago when it first opened and we weren't super…read moreimpressed with it back then. Since then though we've heard a few people say positive things about it so...we decided it was time to give it another try. Came here as a group of 5, and it was a last minute decision as we had originally planned to eat elsewhere but that place turned out to be closed on Sundays. With no reservation on a Sunday, we were asked to wait about 10 minutes. Not too bad of a wait, compared with another Vietnamese place that we'd driven by earlier which had a lineup out the door. A couple of people in our group had fried eggs on their dishes. The eggs looked good. Soft yolks and soft yolk is what I like to see. There was a Papaya salad that we shared amongst the table. This was OK for me. Wasn't thrilled with it. I ordered the Lemongrass Tofu on Vermicelli. I love that this restaurant gives the option of having it on Vermicelli. I'd been somewhere else earlier this year which also had Lemongrass Tofu but it was only served on rice, with no option of switching to Vermicelli. The Lemongrass flavor was strong. Very flavorful. Something in the dish though was quite spicy. It seemed a lot of other dishes on the table were also quite spicy. Hubby's Bun Bo Hue was extremely spicy but he still enjoyed the dish very much. My daughter and I both ordered the Sober Sunday drink which had Lychee, Kumquat and Lemon Juice. The drink was OK. Nothing to write home about. Our daughter just ordered the Tapioca Dumplings appetizer and then took bits and pieces from other people's orders. A spring roll and a couple pieces of Lemongrass Tofu from me, some beef and noodle from her dad...etc. The dumplings looked tasty. They looked like something I'd have ordered myself if I were still a meat eater. Overall, the food here is flavorful. It was a much better experience this time than the first time we came here. Personally though, I'd prefer them to tone down the spice or even eliminate the spice altogether. I don't like having to wipe my nose all the time because of having eaten something spicy, or having my lips burn.

I've been seeing this place on instagram for awhile now so we decided to meet up at this place with…read moresome friends. We ordered the prawns with salted egg yolks. But the prawns were overcooked the salted egg yolks taste was barely there. And there were only 6 pieces of the shrimp. We also ordered the special crab soup. This dish was just ok for me.

This place was a miss for me the food is not worth going back for.

Although we were the only ones there, we still expected a full buffet. The worse part is they still charged us full price. At minimum, they could have cooked us small portions of all the items if they were afraid of wastage since there were no other customers. But charging us full price when you didn't deliver on the service is wild. There are better options.

So I ate my meal 3hrs after the movie...one should keep that in mind when reading this review. Let me say first, the restaurant was very festive on the inside and service was faster than I expected. I ordered Lechon Kawali (without rice) and Flan, The pieces of the lechon were small, and not very juicy. I've had lechon that I didn't eat immediately after the order that while cold was juicy and tender...this just seemed overcooked. The flan, while not sweet, which I like was also the consistency of yogurt, very soft and offered very little resistance, which isn't my usual experience with traditionally made (Filipino) flan. I only tried two items on this menu...and didn't like either...I'm sure there are others who would disagree particularly versus an in restaurant experience. I'm going to wish these guys good luck!
