Fiesta Filipina Cuisine

Ok… So being Filipino myself, I was expecting a home cooked meal. I came here long time ago with family so its been a while since I ate here. Let me tell you my experience just recently since we came back with family. The staff is awesome but the food could have been better. Let me just say… to my disappointment, I found a hair in my longanisa. I was already diving into my 2^nd one and before I could put the piece in my mouth, I saw it dangling from my spoon. (BARF)
I lost my appetite after that. The whole reason why we came there also was my Mom was craving Ginatan. They ran out and all that was left was whatever they had sitting in the pan (which wasn’t much) but it was like it was just sitting out all day. (This has happened before because my brother goes there and ordering the ginatan is a hit and miss) We ordered it BTW, my mom was pretty dissapointed. Also, the Turon seemed like it was a day old, It didn’t taste fresh but my son loved eating it anyway lol
I think this place could have some potential. I just wish they didn’t run out of food and it tasted fresh.

If you’ve had great home-​cooked Filipino food growing up, this is eh to ok. Sorry but I rather have the ilocano way of cooking then this style of cooking, tagalog or visayan? Who sweetens their broth for bangus (sp?)?! The adobo was too oily, the pancit was eh and the chicken papaya was ok. Sorry maybe because it was new year’s eve and they were cranking out food like crazy, but the only thing good was the rice and banana lumpia. Sorry I’ve tried bite after bite hoping it’ll get better but it didn’t. Maybe I’ll try the pinakbet or balatong next time.

My review for the employees:
The first time I was there, a young girl name Freena (i probably spelled it wrong) was helping me and was really great. She smiles to costumers and fun to talk to. But the second time i was there, i was helped by some short girl with really light skin (looks like japanese) she was a terrible little bitch. First she doesnt smile and looks really bad at you. Feels like she really must hate her work. I also notice my food was cold when it got to me. (what are those food warmers for.) after i left the cashier, i even heard her little «hump» around my back. Where do you even get this kind of employee. Soo disrespectful. Now, the next problem is. While i was eating there. I notice another male employee on the corner of the pretty bamboo decoration was just using his phone. (Now, unless you guys have a 1 hour break. He shouldnt be there for more than 30 mins.) shouldnt there be a spot for just the employees? Thats very unprofessional. Im guessing he was a cook (or an aid) because he was wearing disposable aprons.
My review for the cooking:
Cooking wasnt so great at all. I saw this restaurant on a tv show and i expected it to be super good but it wasnt deserving for that tv spot. Adobo was grease and i notice that the food doesnt get rotated (term use to basically turn the top part of the pan and place it to the bottom). Maybe for average day to day consumers. But for my taste. (maybe when im REALLY craving) I guess Miss Dory (owner) only settles for low standards.(even in employees) Now, i didnt try all the food but i tried a good amount of it. And the ones i tried was bad from what i tried before from other filipino restaurant with same dish.
My review for the restaurant:
The restaurant was clean. Very clean. Restroom was clean also. I have no problems with the cleanliness. Tissues were filled. Trash bin were emptied. No problem at all. If the review was based on cleanliness, this would be a 5 star.
My notes to the owner or the one incharge:
At least i know that you have 1 good employee. That little darling Freena was really joyful. Now, as for those 2 employees. Talk to them on whats their problem. From what i seen on other reviews, this is going far too long already and its ruining your Unilocal page. If they don’t change. Well, there are more people who deserves that job more than they do. Probably will work harder than them too.
PS: I have a best friend that i contacted who is a food critic and a very well known blogger I asked him to come and do a review on your restaurant. Maybe my review doesnt matter to you. But for Her review? Well, lets just say you’ll need a million dollar luck to get to her standards.

I dont often have Filipino food because my mom lives in California. It’s the only time I really have filipino food. But now I have found Fiesta Filipina. Our favorite is the lechon manok and that is to die for! I am a comfort food kind of girl so I always pick your quintessential filipino dishes… such as mongo, on a cold day this is the best over a plate of hot rice. Their palabok is good too. Their lumpia is also pretty good. On a summery day or if you just want to quench your thirst their Melon juice is AMAZING!

Horrible experience. I showed up just to find out they ran out of food. I ended up still getting food.
My husband had chicken and rice and he us to turn it back in because it was cold. Good thing is they did refund his money w out any problem
I ordered lumpia and they only gave me 8 of them because they «ran out of it» they still charged me the plate for full price and on top of that
The girl said the kitchen was closed and they would only prepare food if it’s for a big party.
I won’t be stopping here again. I’m very upset. So instead of having what I’ve been craving for month I’ll settle for a sandwich shop in the same shopping center
They can have my money, hey just lost a good costumer

My gf loved this place! We have been looking for food like this for a long time! I like the water jug they have. Food was delicious and well worth the drive. We will be going back many times and are looking forward to it! I had the skewers and they were some of the best skewers I have ever had! Seriously go try them!

This was the first Filipino restaurant Ive tried since I moved here to Vegas from Houston. This food reminded me of home-​cooked meals on Christmas’ cooked with my Family! The Pancit was amazing it tasted like my mom’s when she cooked it from scatch and at home on our own stove, with Fresh Veggies and all, I hadnt had Longanisa since I was a child, and it tasted like it was made as straight from the heart, everything was just great… The staff was homey feeling, nice and warm, and helpful… Great Service and Great Food always keep me coming back it was quite the experience I loved it!

I’d heard ok things about this place, but I simply wasn’t impressed. Meat was cold, rice was soggy, and the place just didn’t feel clean. I suppose it is possible is was just one bad experience, but it was a bad first impression for sure. When I’m getting my water out of an orange Igloo cooler, I must admit I have some concerns.

Haven’t ever had Filipino food but all my classmates suggested this place and when we went for lunch they ordered for me, they got me some chicken kabob, pancit and some mini egg roll things!!! The food was amazing, in fact I went back for more pancit the next day but they had sold out (it was like 6pm tho)!!!

I love Dinuguan. I’ve had my fair share of different recipes, explored countless restaurants and have yet to try one that made me stop what I was doing and write a Unilocal review until now.
*pause (eating more food)
The Turon, the Halo halo… AWESOME!
Ladys and gentlemen, I have found my new favorite place. Fiesta Filipina is a step ahead of every Filipino eatery in the Las Vegas area period.
*back to eating

This local spot is decent if you’re looking for some Filipino food on this side of town. I came for lunch and had the two item combo with a side order of pancit to share with the group. The BBQ chicken was not bad, it had a pretty good flavor to it. The stir fry vegetables were okay, it was pretty salty for my taste. You do get a decent portion of rice, about two scoops. As for the pancit, it was pretty good and not too oily.
The dining area itself was pretty clean and lots of room to sit to eat. Overall the experience here was decent, but nothing memorable that stood out. A good spot to come to when I’m craving Filipino food in this area.

food is good but i dread coming in here because its slow as molasses. 2day i came in and same things… i counted 12 people
in line and two people working the counter… u serious??? the owner too cheap to hire more staff… quit lining ur pockets w cash and hire some more employees buddy… most ur bad reviews
are because of «customer service» …wake up!!!
i always tell myself thisnis the last time
in here but i know ill be back lol… if the customer service was
decent id probably be there 3−4times a week…
see u in another 3 – 4 weeks!

Wow. Just wow. Their adobo is worth the price. The piece is dirt cheap and you can eat like a king. A Def must try. The service is great too.

If zero stars was an option I would do it.
Being Filipino you expect Filipinos to treat you the same way. Respectful and welcome you with open arms. This location has the LAZIEST staff members in the world. They also have poor attitudes. I have never been so disrespected by a fellow Filipino until coming here. The girl who’s usually the cashier has the worst attitude of all. Does smile, hands over change in a rude way, and no thank you is said. Seriously?!
On top of that the Filipino food isn’t even great and it’s below temperature. I’ve gone to some dirty Filipino restaurants here in Vegas and not only do they serve better tasting food but they have the true Filipino attitude of being respectful and humble. They tend to have a wait for white rice some times and even then the white rice is super wet and not even worth eating. The BBQ is super hard and mostly fat and most dishes are drowning in oil.
Also don’t order from their catering menu. They always mess it up and they never have enough food to meet the demand. If they can’t meet the demand they they’ll call you late in the day to only tell you that they ran out. Utter BS.
This location isn’t even worth being called a Filipino restaurant. Don’t bother even coming here!

Awesome Quality Food. Great price. Staff was helpful and even ask if I want to sample a few things since it was our first time having Filipino food.

So aside from the soggy rice, I do come here when craving filipino food. I’ve tried most of the filipino resturants and none of them make me come back. Except for this place, especially for Crispy Pata best in town.
Service is always friendly and the make you feel like home. The food is almost always presented well and clean.

Growing up in San Diego, Ca. Specifically in National City, I was spoiled with having MANY options to get good Filipino food.
Fiesta Filipina Cuisine has a typical ambiance of a Filipino restaurant. They have a decent selection. Service is typical of Filipino toro toro style restaurant. Not the greatest, but it’ll do for those cravings I may get for Filipino food.

Food was pretty good, not that much of a selection though. Just your ordinary favorite Filipino dishes and then some. Nothing too different that will blow you away.
I would recommend this restaurant to people who definitely miss some good olé Filipino food.
And or for people that if it’s their first time trying Filipino food. I would start here for sure.
Pretty good service when I went and it wasn’t too crowded so there were a lot of empty seats to seat my family and I and just enjoy.
Pricing is pretty decent and affordable.
Definitely going back sometime in the future.

2013 HALO-​HALO CHALLENGE — Contender #8
We found ourselves at Fiesta Filipina for our 8^th Halo-​Halo taste test. I can’t believe that we just started this challenge last week and we are now only 2 contenders away from completing this challenge.
Terri and I met up with Ian A for this challenge. We had some eats, but our primary reason for this stop was obvious… how is their Halo-​Halo? Fiesta Filipina has a regular Halo-​Halo for $ 3.99 and their special for $ 4.99. The only difference between the two is ube ice cream. Since we are maximizing our craving, we decided on the special of course.
So, what’s in this special Halo-​Halo. You get ube ice cream (two scoops), condensed milk, shave ice, nata de coco, macapuno, pinipig, azuki (red beans), white beans, and some legit ube. This is our only 2^nd stop that had real ube in it. What’s missing is the flan and lanka. After mixing my Mix-​Mix and sampling it, I already knew that Fiesta’s Halo-​Halo is ranking up there in my book. The ice was just right, taste superb, and the mix was almost perfect. I stress almost perfect because flan was the one missing ingredient that I was looking for. By the way, you can order flan on the side (about $ 5) and add to it if flan is a must have in your Halo-​Halo.
On a side note, I did have some food here too. The ambiance of this restaurant reminds me of the Flip joints in SF, SoCal, and Daygo. I loved it and felt at home. But I wasn’t too impressed with the food. The food is cheap and for $ 5.29 you can get two Chicken BBQ Sticks with rice. Sounded and looked appealing, but I’m no fan of rubbery chicken.
Overall, I am a fan of their Halo-​Halo and see myself coming back just that. Food… well, that’s a different story.
PS: One thing I learned during this quest for our favorite Halo-​Halo in the valley is that real spoons (not the flimsy plastic ones) are ideal when mixing your Halo-​Halo. These plastic spoons work like catapults when you’re mixing your Halo-​Halo. Last thing I want is an ube shot in the face. Stay hungry, my friends.

I’ve been here a few more times since my previous review and I am still a fan of this restaurant. The staff is nice and I love that they speak to me in English now when I walk in. In the past, when they spoke to me in Tagalog, I would feel a little awkward because I didn’t understand. Yay, no more awkwardness for me!
The food has always been consistently good. I can say that I’ve never had a bad experience such as a stomach ache after eating food from here and that is what keeps me coming back. I always get my usual which is the rice with two barbecue chicken, pancit, and shanghai lumpia. I thought that the lumpia was a little overcooked on my last visit but the barbecue chicken and pancit were perfect.
I usually come around 2 pm and I noticed that it’s not super busy but they do get a steady stream of patrons.
