The Best Filipino Restaurants In Miami - Miami - The Infatuation

"There’s a reason why people have been driving from as far as Key West to get their Filipino food fix at Pampangueña in Cutler Bay for the last 22 years. The grocery store operates as a restaurant three days a week (Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays) where sisters cook dishes they learned from their mother in their hometown of Pampanga (hence the name). The dishes change regularly. On the day we went, they had ginisang munggo (mung bean sew), deep-fried bangus, fried lumpia, sinigang with salmon head, and denengdeng (similar to the vegetable stew, pinakbet, but with the addition of more leafy vegetables). But whatever you do, don’t miss the silky leche flan, which they sell by the slice or as a whole." - cheryl tiu, ryan pfeffer
