Pampanga's Cuisine Filipino

wow I can't believe the reviews for this place I almost didn't go here and so glad that I ignored all the premadonna's that have written reviews

so the service is a little slow no big deal, they are Filipinos and nothing happens fast has been my experiences with Filipino family's and this is not a 5 star restaurant it is a family run business with good quality homemade food

First we got some Small Lumpia very tasty and the dipping sauce was good too, then i git some Beef Empanadas the dough was perfect and flakey  meet filling was good and 4 were just right for two people to split

I got the Chicken Adobo and it was very good made a little different from some others I have tried but all Filipino food varies from Island to Island it was like chicken in a gravy

we also got the Pansit with Meat it was some of the best I have eaten and I have consumed a lot for a white man nice and flavorful and the noddle were cooked just right and veggies were still crisp

then we got some Filipino cheesecake to go as we were full from all the food but I'm digging into some cheesecake right now and this stuff is worth going for if nothing else she says she has been making these for over 30 years here in Chicago I have never seen cake cooked in Banana Leaves before

Okay. So we decide to check out this place we have been wanting to try out. We park and people are inside eating, staring at us trying to open their doors. Locked. Literally staring at us. So upset, I'm Yelping right outside their doors!  Store hours are posted and states they close at 830pm today. It's 720pm!  Ridiculous!  Extremely poor business sense and I would definitely not even want to look at their awful awning next time we drive by this dump!

If you're not in a rush, the food is worth the wait.  I love lola's cart.  It's like going to grandma's house for lunch.
