Let me preface this review by saying I am not Filipino and
while I’m familiar with Filipino food, I am far from an expert and so may very
well have no idea what I’m talking about.
Am I inspiring confidence yet?
I’d walked by Fiesta Grill several times before finally
deciding to stop in for lunch. It’s very
cafeteria/buffet style where you just go up to the counter, point, pay and
they give your food in Styrofoam bowls (which I'd love if they switched to plastic) on a plastic tray. When I went, I stared at the approximately
16-20 chafing dishes of food they had out on display for about 5 minutes which really didn’t make
my choice any clearer. Approximately 75%
of it was pork and while everything has a name, there’s not much by way of
description. I ended up asking the
(brusque but very polite) woman behind the counter what their most popular
dishes were and going with that. She recommended I get the combo: rice,
2 main dishes, and a drink – all for $7! – and suggested I try the pork adobo
and lechon paksiw.
