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.

Burrito Bowl Chicken Fajita from Puesto Modern Mexican Comfort Food

So many things have happened to you in one day might as well eat something to fill up. 

Carmina discovered a Burrito Bowl Chicken Fajita. 

After it has arrived purchasing it from Grab Food Philippines it reminds me of the naked burrito if you would have purchase it in a Mexican restaurant.

My meal was 260.00 pesos ($4.64) includes two small tortilla, Spanish rice, salsa, shredded lettuce, corn, bean with a lot of amount grilled chicken.

It was really a lot in one bowl with yogurt sauce in a separate plastic container if you wanted to add the dressing.

If you want the real burrito with French fries inside there is the Cali Burrito Wrap for 270.00 pesos ($4.82).


Carmina recommends you try the Mexican food from Puesto Modern Mexican Comfort Food.
