Isla Pilipinas Cafe

"Our family of three happened to wonder over to this restaurant. We LOVED the food, the atmosphere, and the people. Everyone was sweet and kind! The food was just as amazing as the people running and working at the restaurant. The whole experience blew our mind. We loved the bbq and the traditional Filipino drink! And the purple cake was sweet but subtle. I’d take a plane trip just to visit this place again!"

"Service: very kind waitress and the chef even came to check on me while dining in. Very lovely family operation. Food: absolutely fantastic food! Filipino food is now in my top 5 and it might be a permanent fixture in my weekly rotation. Atmosphere: small restaurant that’s certainly able to handle a larger group if necessary, certainly no complaints from me. Price: $15-40 per person if you want to have a good time. Portions are certainly big enough to share. Overall: 9.7/10"

"Filipino food at it’s best here in SoFlo with Filipino hospitality!! Came here all the way from Boca just for the crispy pata and that surely didn’t disappoint us. Went on ordering the kara-kara and ampalaya and both dishes were excellent both in taste and authenticity. Even my Filipino friends say from the pictures that I shared that I looks legit. The owners greeted us with comfort and were always checking in on us making us feel very welcomed. My wife being Thai also enjoyed her first Filipino cuisine. Highly recommend and we’ll sure come back back as there’s other dishes I want to try."

"Work took me back to the area and I was looking for a nice spot, that I haven't been to yet, for an early dinner and this place blew me away! I got the pancit at bbq combination, eggrolls, and a classic drink (I can't recall the name), and I practically licked my plates clean. The ingredients were fresh, the food was tasty, the bbq had nice char to it, and the service was incredible. Even the chef came out from the back to ask how I was enjoying my meal, I felt at home. Writing this review I'm planning on going back tomorrow before I fly home to try the tapsilog that was recommended! [Update: went back, got the tapsilog before headed to the airport and it was incredible! Super tasty, reminded me almost of Japanese/Korean BBQ!] This is definitely a spot I'd come back to if work brings me out again!"

"Great food Find. Finally found a great spot for Filipino Food. Great tasting food. Had a traditional dish the Filipino Sausage with White Rice. My Family had the pancit. (Shrimp and Pork) They loved it. I will definitely come back and have the other dishes. I would recommend to all your Friends and Family, if you want some great flavors from good food. Thank you"
