    Fresh lumpia- a mix of cooked veggies wrapped in a crepe and drenched in a sweet peanut sauce. Yummy!
    Pauline T.

    If you've never had Filipino food, you must stop what you're doing and go to this place! When it comes to Filipino food, I can't help but be snobby about it since I've eaten it my entire life. So when La Meza Grill first opened, I wasn't sure what to expect. I'm not a fan of the "turo-turo" style cuisine (which is like cafeteria style and ready to eat), so I was glad that this place was not like that! The restaurant is located inside of a Filipino grocery store and has a cute ambience to it; a mix of nostalgic Filipino staples (like the wooden spoon and fork on the walls) with a modern look. The place is very relaxed and the service is pleasant. My favorite Filipino dishes that I always order no matter where I go are: the filipino bbq dishes, bicol express, lumpia and sisig!! La Meza does an incredible job with their versions of these dishes! The food is delicious and so comforting; it really pleases the appetite! I highly recommend trying this place out as it makes great versions of the dishes listed above. There are many other dishes that are worth trying out as well, like the "silogs", so make sure you come in with an empty stomach and stretchy pants

    Lechon kawali with sauce on top
    Anj K.

    I ordered lechon kawali from this store and got delivered really fast. Just disappointed with the food The lechon kawali pork really smelled bad. The foul smell of the pork can still be smelled even after cooked. I'd prefer other restaurants lechon kawali than this :) Or i can recommend they should cut the pork piece into cubes for better taste inside and cooked well

    Grilled squid

    I've been ordering from La Meza Grill since 2010 or 2011 and to this day, I believe they are the most consistent when it comes to quality and quantity.

    Rice noodles, vegetables and chicken

    We met a family at the Richmond Night Market a couple of weeks ago and they suggested we try this place out. Given our love for food and adventure, we decided to drive 40 minutes from Vancouver to try this restaurant out. When we arrived, we figured the entrance was via a convenience store, which was quite weird. You wouldn't really know unless you were paying attention to signage. Once you're in, you wait to be seated. It is a lovely impressive little hidden restaurant. Very clean and organized. It's cosy and has a little bit of a Filipino feel to it - it reminded me of a few places in the Philippines that we visited. The little bamboo covers on the lights are so cool! We ordered several dishes based on recommendations. Our server was so friendly and patient with us as our group ordered. Our favourite dishes were their crispy chicken and pork. Our least favourite was the rice noodle dish and a dish made with pork heart and liver. I am game to try everything and I did just that when my husband and friend ordered the heart and liver dish. I tried it and I disliked it - it was a very weird, acquired taste. My husband and friend said it was not what they expected and have had before; so we'd score it a 2/10. The rice noodle dish was okay - noodles was a little over cooked or maybe it was pre cooked and was rewarmed; it was also quite bland. We'd rate it 5/5. Crispy pork - juicy, succulent and flavourful. Crispy skin as expected. A little different flavour profile than what I've previously had at other restaurants but it was delicious. Quantity was great for the price. We'll give it a 8/10. Crispy chicken - truly decadent. So moist on the inside; crispy on the outside and just the right amount of seasoning. We'd rate it 10/10. We paid $58 for 4 main dishes, rice and 3 bowls of soup/broth. The broth is amazing - $0.75 per bowl and you either choose beef broth or sinigang (sour broth with tomatoes). The sour broth was phenomenal! Lots of parking in the area. If you arrive and there's no one around to seat you; put yourself on the waiting list - they have a paper and pen on their little check - in desk.

    Let me start by saying, this is our favourite Filipino restaurant on this side of the river. But when we were there last night, something was really lacking. The service was non existent, the food was off, and the servers seemed more interested in mocking the young new guy (seemed like one of their brothers). Last night we had Crispy Pata, Pork Sisig, Pork Sinigang and Leche Flan. The crispy pata was really bland. Even with the vinegar dip, it just tasted like oil and had no seasoning on it whatsoever (or so it seemed). The Sisig was just a big pile of oil. It was almost like they cooked it in a bunch of oil, then poured a ladle of oil on the sizzling plate, and poured the sisig on top. You could not taste any of the ingredients and was almost inedible. The sinigang was actually pretty good! I'm not a huge fan of sinigang but my wife loves it. It had a really great flavour and was full of fresh tasting ingredients! The leche flan was the star or the show. But you can never go wrong with leche flan . I would like to give them more stars but we were never checked on once during our meal and when we wanted to order something else, there was no on nearby. I know we will be back because we've had more good experiences than bad here, but it really let us down last night.

    Bicol Express???
    Donnel P.

    First time to be here for dinner with 4 friends and our experienced was good. The restaurant door is confusing as it's being shared with the grocery store. The staff are very friendly and attentive. The food was good. I like their Dinakdakan and Crispy Pata. The Bicol Expesss dish is a bit confusing from its color and taste. Their prices are reasonable.

    Spaghetti was pale and overly sweet.

    Ordered spaghetti and 2 chicken lomis yesterday. The wait time for pick up was 30 minutes but ended up 1 hr. The kids were excited to eat spaghetti but as soon as we opened it the sauce was pale and a bit watery. The sauce was sweeter than usual. The edges of the noodles and some of the meat were burnt! The cabbages in the chicken lomi were dirty too and lack of ingredients. We paid regular price on these take out foods but seems to be more like left over Emailed these photos and complained to the manager but so far no response. TIP: Do not order between 6-8 pm as the quality of the food will not be good.

    Generous portions and great asian flavors, we had the grilled squid, roasted pork hock and chicken curry with garlic rice. I wouldn't have been able to make this on my own at home, I'm sure they used a real charcoal grill and rotisserie to cook with. I would order all these dishes again for sure as they all taste good. Will definitely be back next time to try their other dishes.

    Bulalo was full of flavor
    Tony L.

    This was not on our original plan to have Filipino food for lunch but we were glad in the end that we did. Pinpin down the street closed. So we Tried some of their signature dishes like bulalo, crispy Binagoongan, grilled squid and bangus sisig. Pleasantly delicious. The Binagoongan had coconut milk which was a good surprise. We very much enjoyed the Bangus sisig. Overall 4 star review for the food. Servers were quite shy so hopefully they can interact a bit more.

    Ordered porksilog to go.. pork doesnt have any taste and it was burned too. I dont know how they cook it, because it turned black but you cant taste anything even a salt or maybe soysauce. I'm pregnant and this is disgusting. Wont buy it anymore.

    Beef noodle soup
    Stephy Y.

    La Meza Grill is situated inside a Filipino grocery store. My first time having Filipino food so can't really compare. There were a few names I recognize but my friend told me that for two it's wise not to order too many as it might get filling. We had the beef noodle soup which was ok to me. The broth tasted like Campbell chicken noodle soup. The noodles were also similar to that except they were longer. The beef was tender and there were cuts of carrots and onions. For the main we ordered the pork hock. Initially I wanted to order Kare Kare but thought that would go better with rice. Perhaps next time. The pork hock was crispy and it was indeed a good portion for two. I liked the vinaigrette that came on the side with some dice onions to cut through the fattiness of the pork. I knew I can't leave a Filipino restaurant without try halo halo. We got one to share since it's winter time and we knew couldn't finish one without turning into an ice cube. In hindsight, I realized we had to mix everything instead of eating each part on it's own. I guess that's the reason why I didn't enjoy it as much. The ube ice cream on was nice and creamy and went well with the ice. I liked the coconut jelly, leche flan but the sweet beans at the bottom weren't my favourite. Not sure if I'd order this again.

They even make their own sauces that are bottled and you can bring home. They seemed to be set up for take out and catering. But they do have seating for about 20-25 people. We ordered: BBQ Pork Combo meal $10.50 Chicken Inasal Combo meal $10.50 both with Garlic - Annatto Rice +$.75 each and we added pork spring rolls $4 The combo meals are tasty and filling. With a slight char on the BBQ pork which is what I enjoy when having skewers. Honestly the garlic- annato rice wasn't really worth it. I personally couldn't taste it over the sauce on either the BBQ pork or the chicken Inasal. And would have been happy with just regular rice. The lumpiang was meaty and everything I look for in a crispy spring roll. The dessert options area also great. Not sure if its seasonal but they had a slice of coconut (buko) pie in their fridge. Whole buko pie need to be per-ordered and picked up on the weekend. They also have leche flan and ube cheesecake for a sweet treat. Over all a great comforting small business with friendly staff and a meal under $12. How can you go wrong? Give Hapag Ihaw-Ihaw a try if you're in the area.

That means in order to get anything, you must wave down the waiter. The food is also very mediocre in terms taste. To make matters worse, the quantity of food is not filling either. Finally, many of their entrees do not come with rice. Therefore, they nickel and dime you from the individual orders of rice that you have to make to go along with the entrees. Only street parking is available for this establishment so be prepared to circuit around the neighborhood several times before finding a spot.

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.

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!!
