"Mekeni’s in Artesia is famous for its weekly Filipino buffet, or more accurately, the long lines of people waiting to get into said buffet. There’s a breakfast buffet on weekends for $22 per person, as well as a dinner buffet on Wednesdays and Fridays for $35, both of which feature around two dozen dishes plus drinks. Unless you want to wait for an hour-plus, plan on making reservations in advance. We’re fans of the oxtail kare-kare, pork belly adobo, and the seafood sinigang brimming with vegetables—just know the menu changes weekly with rotating specials. Weekend breakfast buffet, and dinner buffet on Wednesdays and Fridays $22 per person for breakfast, $35 per person for dinner" - garrett snyder, brant cox, cathy park, sylvio martins
