We ended up finding this place totally by chance after the restaurant we'd planned on going to had a 45-minute wait, I was way too hungry for that. As soon as we walked in, we were greeted and told to pick any seat we liked. Staff was super friendly and really made our experience that much better.
We kicked things off with the pork belly bites, which came out super fast and were unbelievably tender, coated in an delicious sauce. Then we got a surprise sample of the Lechon--Filipino-style roasted pork belly--and holy smokes, it was incredible. They served it with three dipping sauces: a Jalapeño Vinegar (pretty sure that's what it was), Mango Habanero, and a Sweet and Spicy one. I couldn't stop dunking my bites in that Jalapeño Vinegar. So good, so crunchy, so tasty.
For my main course, I went with the smothered burrito "Christmas style" (both red and green chile) with asada. Honestly, it's one of the best burritos I've had in recent memory--the red sauce was amazing, the green chile was packed with flavor, and the meat was tender and perfectly seasoned. My girlfriend got the Spicy Pinoy Bowl, and she loved it just as much, especially the perfectly cooked egg and delicious chicken.
We also tried the Mule with Calamansi, which was crazy good--really refreshing and flavorful. The inside of the restaurant felt cozy and was nicely decorated, though it was a bit chilly inside (but that's bound to happen when it's like 15 degrees outside).
All in all, we had an awesome experience. It just goes to show that Bob Ross was right about happy little accidents. We'll definitely be coming back.
