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...

8 Piece Fire Grilled Chicken Dinner at El Pollo Loco


Carmina had asked Mom Violy what she would eat for dinner. Mom Violy said, there is a lot of food in the refrigerator that is all leftover.

Carmina didn't want to eat repeated leftover for a week. 

Carmina told Mom Violy she'll just order her dinner along with Papa Ping through Door Dash Delivery.

Few minutes later Carmina told Mom Violy she'll be ordering El Pollo Loco and decided to get the 8 Pieces Fire Grilled Chicken Dinner that came with 2 sides of your choice for $28.99 not including delivery fee and tip to the rider.

Mom Violy said can you also order me some. Carmina couldn't stop laughing at her.

Door Dash Delivery had informed the driver was on its way. Carmina waited outside at the driveway to grab the food from the rider.


Carmina had already set the table for the three of us to eat our meal with leg/thigh chicken part with Spanish rice, tortilla, salsa and chips.







Carmina's way how she eats her meal by wrapping it with flour tortilla, grilled chicken, Spanish rice and topped with salsa.


El Pollo Loco serves different type of food in what caters to your taste buds. Carmina loves eating grilled chicken and wrap her food this way. Mom Violy and Papa Ping prefer eating it without the tortilla.

NOTE:

Carmina is not selling, or advertising food served at El Pollo Loco.
