"Lutong Pinoy is a standout among Miami’s small population of Filipino restaurants. It's tiny, but they have a big menu full of great Filipino dishes like sisig, lumpia, bicol express, and dozens more options. They also offer a few massive catering dishes, like a whole lechon belly with skin so crispy it sounds like an earthquake when you cut through it. Call a few days in advance to order that, and you'll be the most popular person at the party. Also, much of the menu is under $20." - mariana trabanino, virginia otazo, ryan pfeffer

"The Meal: BBQ Meal, $14 North Miami Beach’s Lutong Pinoy is a standout among Miami’s small population of Filipino restaurants. It's tiny, but they have a huge menu and it’s all very reasonably priced. One of our favorite dishes here is the BBQ meal. You can opt for just skewers or get it with a mound of garlic rice, plantains, and a side salad. You get your choice of pork or chicken with this plate—but the sticky, sweet chunks of pork are the move. If you are a sisig person, that’s also wonderful here (and also $15)." - ryan pfeffer, virginia otazo, mariana trabanino

"The award for the most over-the-top-but-not-in-an-insufferably-Instagrammy-way shaved ice goes to Lutong Pinoy for its halo-halo. This Filipino dessert is refreshing yet rich, and features more textures than we have words for. Lutong Pinoy starts with a bowl of crushed ice and drowns it in evaporated milk. Then comes a whole kitchen’s worth of toppings: jams, jellies, tropical fruit, ube ice cream, a chunk of flan, and a sprinkle of Fruity Pebbles because why the hell not? As you can imagine, it's meant to be shared. " - ryan pfeffer, mariana trabanino, carlos c olaechea
