Barrio Fiesta of Manila: Authentic Filipino Comfort Food Awaits

Had a little "old friends who are family" reunion here...family style meal was perfect. The kids loved everything- especially the kare kare and the pancit. The fried bangus was delicious...we ended up with so many baon leftovers. Great ambiance- very clean. The service was very patient with the amount of time we spent there and even was kind enough to take photos of the group. Definitely will be back.

The location is quick to find. There’s free parking at a plaza. The reception area showed that there is no restroom on site. We were greeted by a nice man who advised us to wait to be seated. Interior design reflected our Filipino culture. Our order was taken and after 10 minutes, our food came in. Sago gulaman quenched our thirst, not too sweet with the soft, gummy texture of the gulaman. Pancit was so-so. Fresh lumpia didn’t have singkamas which made me compare it to the other ones I tasted. Overall, I enjoyed the meal.

Googled closest Filipino restaurant near me and this place got my curiosity. Stepping into this authentic Filipino restaurant is like walking into a flavor-packed fiesta. The decor? Just enough island charm to make you feel like you've booked a one-way ticket to Manila. They have a special for $50 which includes a Crispy Pata that was phenomenal, Kare-Kare was okay, Steamed white rice was the perfect serving size. Staff were phenomenal. Came around almost closing and was not rushed and there were also several guests that were able to enjoy/finish their stay/meal. Noticed they had a family meal for staff. Had the same experience in Italy wherein they have family for staff. Nice to see!

First time to dine-in and I was impressed with the service but most importantly, the great food! The taste, portion size, presentation, service and the place itself are above par with other Filipino restos around the area. Those who are craving for delicious Filipino food would love to eat a great meal regardless of the price. It’s so worth it! Would bring more friends and families soon! Highly recommended!

It’s the de facto place to treat your Filipino relatives for special occasions. They have the staple dishes for festive times (i.e. Pancit, Kare kare, Lumpia, Crispy Pata etc). Good amount of tables but I highly suggest you reserve a table or two if you’re coming in with a large group. Tried dining in and taking out food and it was a pleasant experience, food was excellent and the set meals/packages were pretty good.

Man, I have that had some good Filipino food in a long time and when I say, this place does not disappoint. This place does not disappoint. The fish is amazing. The garlic rice is amazing everything I’ve tasted, tasted like home food. It was amazing. I know they have somebody’s mom on multiple moms in the back of the kitchen getting down with the food. I will be back multiple times and I love the portions of the food very big family style portions. You will be very very tired after eating here.

We treated an Indonesian friend and brought him here at Barrio Fiesta. We ordered chicharon bulaklak, lumpia, crispy pata, pancit canton-bihon and sinigang. Chicharon bulaklak, lumpia and crispy pata were at their crispy best. Sinigang was too sour and, according to hubby whose taste buds are supersensitive, there was a taste of lechon kawali to it. Pancit was not one of the tastiest I had ever sampled. In fact, I just ate 2-3 spoonfuls of it which is unusual for me because I am a “pancit girl”. The main server looked serious and stern while the younger one had a happier disposition. Service was fast; we waited for just 10 minutes. Our guest was surprised with the speed. Talking about time, when we arrived there, it was 15 minutes before their opening time. Right on the dot, they opened at 4 pm. To the Barrio Fiesta staff, thank you for the good food and service. Mabuhay!

First time to dine-in for me. Have been ordering take outs before. Went with family. We were warmly greeted by the enthusiastic staff. Food came hot and tasty! The waiters were always on their feet to take care of our every need. Customer service was as exceptional as their food. I would highly recommend to anyone looking for a great Filipino cuisine. FYI: did not get to take pictures of few more dishes (Crispy pata, garlic fried rice, adobong sitaw) since everyone just dug right in as soon as they were served.
