This review is for delivery. I ordered using Door Dash. The food was picked up at the expected time…read morebut there were delays on the delivery that were not the fault of Maganda Cuisine. The packaging was adequate. I ordered the BBQ pork, the lumpia, pancit bahon, and the fried fish. The pork and the fish came with rice. The portion size was good. Because the food delivery was delayed, the food was cold, but I won't count that against the food truck. Flavors were good. Textures seemed proper. I don't know that the pancit or the lumpia were the best I've ever had, but for the price, they were pretty good! All in all, I think I like Manila Eats better, but Maganda Cuisine has more operating days, so there you go.

Chicken Adobo Sinigang Both could use a little more sour to really drive it home. Both still good but not better than Manila Eats. However, they do cook to order so that's a great perk. Only 2 tables, it's a small space with the rest of the square footage dedicated to retail. It was worth the drive from Brandon...

The nice lady in back of the front cash register took our order, and we sat down in the small restaurant area in the back and we ordered egg rolls (lumpia), and Bistek Tagalog. Both of us felt like both of the foods we ordered had were well cooked but could have used more seasoning. The store has an extensive variety of Phillipine dry foods, seasonings, snacks, and frozen food.

For a small mom and pop (minus the mom) store with hot meals it's great! The food is wonderful!…read moreThey don't really have a lot of everything but the food is great and a lot of it. They have a long bench with tables as almost a group like setting. Don't except to much of the service as it's a one man job as far as I've seen. We took to go for about six people and everyone loved it. Would definitely give it a try as I'm sure you will enjoy it. We took off the already made meals and added pancit that was wonderful. Well worth it

I got the Halo Halo but without the evaporated milk. It was still delicious and still very sweet so…read moreI definitely recommend it without the evaporated milk if you're unable to consume any milk products. I can still eat ice cream though LOL. The dessert drink was absolutely delicious. I waited for the shaved ice to melt a little bit so I can drink some of it and all the little fruits in there and the beans were absolutely so fresh and I really love the Ube in there. I'm one of those type of people that like to custom my drinks and food so next time I would probably omit some of the fruits in there and either add extra Ube or extra ice cream or something like that if they allow it. The service was exceptional. The folks behind the counter were absolutely super sweet. I know they're Filipino, but I literally felt like I was in Hawaii. The service was so incredible. I felt like I was in paradise.

The Filipiniana is a small, humble eatery that sits in a rather hidden plaza (it's hardly…read morenoticeable from the main road) along and at the crossroads of eastbound Waters Avenue and Dale Mabry. Like most other Filipino restaurants/cafe, there is a behind-the-counter, glass protected buffet at the forefront of the restaurant. From here, you can make your selections as you build your combination platter. The Filipiniana also offers a small section of baked goods and desert, while specializing in drinks such as Halo Halo and other Asian-curated beverages. Interesting to note that the Filipiniana offers catering in the kamayan style (simply put, a spread of various dishes over banana leaves to be shared by multiple people amd eaten with hands). However, they don't serve this in house/at the location - you will have to give advance notice (like with other caterers) to have this prepared. The Filipiniana is definitely a good spot to satiate your curiousity, explore, and discover Filipino cuisine!

Our first visit was a few weeks ago, right before closing, and they were so gracious -- they let us finish our meal while they were cleaning the restaurant, and never made us feel rushed. We ordered the pork adobo, lechon, and pinakbet, and damn, that food was GOOD! The only other places where I've had Filipino food this delicious were in LA or Jersey/NYC. My fiancé is Filipino and he gave it his full stamp of approval, which says a lot! Please support this business -- the owner is as sweet as can be. She was so gracious to us, and we ended up chatting with her for about 30 minutes. We genuinely enjoyed her company. My in-laws are visiting next month and we cannot wait to bring them to Manila Eats. They also do DoorDash, so spread the word!

The two ladies were so nice and one helped me pick out sunscreen that was similar to another brand they don't carry. They even gave me a free face mask with my purchase. Second stop with the bakery place and got me a matcha. It wasn't the best matcha I've had but wasn't the worst. They had so many baked goods that I had to just keep walking because I would've spent some moneyyyy in there. Next, I hit up the small food court and got me a Korean corn dog (just sausage, no cheese because.... Well Iykyk) and it was so delicious. I'm still thinking about it as I'm laying here in bed. Lastly, I walked around and got me some unique flavored chips and drinks along with some Ube flavored items If you love Asian food, snacks, drinks, skincare... this is your place!

The only restaurant not participating in that was bbq Korean and no one was at the front so I guess no business for them. Plenty of fruit selections as well as meats and side dishes. Snacks and pots and cookers -- it's everything you needed before you knew you needed it. Loved the selection and prefer this one over the Orlando location, it's still just too far out but great prices and got what we needed and wanted.

Great food truck - my parents loved it. Great variety and the food came out fairly quickly!…read moreEverything we've had, we've liked... so if you like Filipino food but don't want to cook it yourself - stop by here! Super friendly, too. Sometimes when I drive by, it's closed, so I don't know exactly when the hours are. But I just call ahead to order and I've never had an issue with timing. Also, I wouldn't recommend eating there without headphones bc it's right by the interstate... but it's easy to just call ahead and do take out... otherwise, it's very loud and cars are constantly driving by. Sometimes when I'm waiting in school pickup line, I make an order and it's ready by the time I leave the car line!! Talk about convenience! Bottom line, this truck is another example of a local small business trying to make it! Please go check them out and help support them! Maybe if they can grow their business - they can afford a store front or a better location. Anyway, definitely worth trying and coming back soon!

It's clear that the owners are trying to save money here and there. Even the refrigerated food display cases are utilized for storage. This probably looks like someone's home where they expect no guests to visit. Don't get me wrong, the people are very friendly. I called ahead to get an Ube purple cake and they are extremely welcoming. I drove an extra 1.5 hours of the way in traffic to make a stop here - and I'm not sure I'd do that again. The Ube cake is tasty - and inexpensive. It's like $35 for this half sheet cake. It's not too sweet at all. I think it actually needs more Ube in the filling. I taste a lot of Ube essence flavoring. Overall, it's moist and I froze it at home to enjoy it whenever.

It had the potential to be very good but the mango was not ripe at all. It was very firm and flavorless so I didn't get the balance of sweet, salty and spicy. My advice would be to use riper mangos that are sweet to bring the full flavor out. Also, the price is a bit much. This small container was $9.33. It should be around $6.00.
