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. They usually have a live band, but unfortunately, there was no entertainment the night we went. My family had spoken highly of Isla Grand and encouraged us to try the Filipino dishes we’ve been missing from back home. Lech...

Carmina's Review on Puesto Modern Mexican Comfort Food



Carmina's family was craving for Mexican burrito and to figure what we wanted to eat. Carmina found Puesto Modern Mexican Comfort Food for our snack of the day.

We had ordered the following something to try on our own.

Burrito Wrap Carne Asada Steak ingredients steak, corn, salsa, Mexican salad greens, Mexican rice and tortilla. The person eating this doesn't like vegetables everything is not added in this dish for PHP 230.00 ($4.60).



Burrito Wrap Pulled Pork ingredients pulled pork, beans, corn, salsa, Mexican salad greens, Mexican rice and tortilla. The person eating this doesn't eat vegetables and beans. The salsa has been set aside for PHP 220.00 ($4.40).



Burrito Wrap Chicken Fajita ingredients chicken, beans, corn, salsa, Mexican salad greens, Mexican rice and tortilla for PHP 220.00 ($4.40).


Burritos had arrived wrapped up with the sauce on the side for what we had requested during our Grab application order during the time I had placed it.



Highlight of Puesto Modern Mexican Comfort Food

Base on my experience on Mexican food it is not Authentic it is between an okay type of food. Why I say this it is not bad Mexican food, but on Carmina's opinion it is dry on the Burrito Wrap Chicken Fajita it doesn't have enough vegetables when I had cut into in half there was only a small piece of lettuce.

I was expecting it to have bell pepper; onions what a Fajita usually serve when you eat in a restaurant. We don't know what Mexican green salad means in their menu. 

There was a big serving in the rice than the main ingredient in it.

I don't want to lie and fool other people who plan to eat here. Everyone has the right to say how they feel toward the food they eat.

The family members said the Burrito Wrap Pulled Pork was salty in some parts of the food although it tasted good.

You can say Burrito Wrap Pulled Pork is 50/50 out of 100 to grade it on.

Burrito Wrap Carne Asada Steak the family member said it was good if you compare it to budget Mexican food compare to other places that has been eaten in other places.
