When the longing for authentic Pinoy dishes strikes in the U.S., Isla Grand stands ready to transport your taste buds back to the Philippines.

Carmina is traveling to the United States to spend time with her family. My dad planned a family gathering for Mother's Day at their favorite Pinoy restaurant . Since reservations aren’t possible, we arrived an hour early to ensure we could get a table for twelve before everyone else showed up. As my dad approached Isla Grand , the branch we visited in Pleasant Hills, California , the host at the door said they could prepare a table for twelve at five o'clock. Later, the server called my dad's name and guided us to our table. The place was bustling with people enjoying meals and celebrating Mother's Day. On our first visit to Isla Grand, I was captivated by the décor, noticing many native items that gave the place a fancy yet authentic Filipino feel.

Homemade Breakfast Burrito Recipe


Today I feel like eating a breakfast burrito and this time I was able to find a place that sells the tortilla just like when I use to eat it back home in California. 

I use to buy Mission Wraps in Shopwise but after our pandemic it was difficult to ask our employee to look for it since they had no clue what it was we only explain an easier way it looked like a lumpia wrapper located in the bread aisle.

The employee schedule to go to the grocery store would just ask the sales person in charge giving them a picture of the Mission Wrap yet they kept saying out of stock.


Finally I was able to find a grocery store from Grab Food application to purchase online and have it delivered to your home. I will give you all the information in case you too miss eating a breakfast burrito or feel like making a regular meal out of it.

In your Grab application click Mart type in search Buildamart - New Manila on the top search right corner click search type tortilla and it will be listed below under Mexican Deli to place your order and have it delivered to your home.

The price per pack is PHP 124.00 ($2.48) plus delivery fee and tip to the rider (optional).

This is my way making my own breakfast burrito is having someone cook scramble egg for my recipe click the link to direct you to the site: https://www.carminalifestyle.com/2020/06/scramble-egg-with-tomato-recipe.html 

Due to the pandemic I am not allowed to cook my food there are limits in what area of the house I can enter just temporary living in the Philippines just rules to obey during our time.

To make a ordinary burrito you can use my taco recipe to add on to your tortilla still making everything from your own location.

For your reference you can look under all ingredients and Mexican recipes in this link given:
