"Opened in November 2022 by Felina and Moises Simbulan in Artesia, I found Mekeni Pinoy’s Pride to be a Filipino food paradise on Wednesday nights: the weekly dinner buffet draws over 200 diners and includes steamed lobster, guisado noodles, beef kare-kare, lechon kawali, and more, a feast for formidable appetites." - Cathy Chaplin
