Looking for a Filipino fiesta right at the heart of the city? Where Filipino favorites like lechon, liempo, sisig, inihaw, even balot, sorbetes, halo-halo and kakain are served? All these to be ended with unlimited beer? Applause to the concept of La Fiesta: Largest Filipino Buffet for all these cravings are found in one place.

For a Weekday Dinner rate at Php 838, here are the feast awaiting:
- Appetizer Section- all the 'pampagana' Filipino style
 |
| Itlog na maalat, kamatis, perfect! |
- Seafood Section- Dampa/ paluto style. I cannot really say that it's fresh on the spot, though
 |
Seafood Section
 |
| What we ordered: shell galore |
|
- Carving Station- one of my favorites but an area where heart attack is inevitable
 |
| Always a staple! Lechon! |
 |
| What sarsa does your lechon like? Find your perfect mix |
- Lechon Manok/ Inihaw na Liempo
 |
| Sometimes, lechon manok/ roasted chicken will do |
 |
| Shawarma!!! |
 |
| Looks extremely appetizing, but not when eaten |
- International (not Filipino but Filipino favorites still) Section
 |
| Pizza is good, clap clap (But then again, it's pizza) |
 |
| Chinese favorites. Lumpia is a Filipino fiesta staple |
- Japanese: tempura, sushi, maki, okonomiyaki
 |
| Tempura has become a favorite for Filipino food lovers too |
 |
| Sushi: staple in every buffet |
 |
| Sashimi: perfect for the beer, too |
 |
| Quesadillas! |
- Other viands that are not entirely Filipino.
 |
| Filipino faves such as kare-kare |
- Street Foods/ Ihaw-ihaw- the classic Filipino street foods! This time cleaner. Haha
 |
| Ihaw-ihaw kanto style |
 |
Tenga ng Baboy!
 |
| Unlimiteeeeed! |
|
- Exotic Filipino a.k.a. fear factor: from one day old ducks, balut, crispy chicken skin
- Sisig & Steak etc (which are requested and delivered at the table, so mind your table number)
 |
| Bulalo steak: not so good |
 |
| Do it yourself Halo halo |
 |
| Kakanin! Not a fan, though |
- Ice cream (not the classic 'mamang sorbetero' cart)
- Cakes and Jellies
 |
| Desserts from cakes to jellies |
 |
| DIY crepe, buffet staple also |
 |
| Fruits all you can |
 |
| Fruit juices |
- Sago Gulaman
- Unlimited beer- they have the draft and the canned San Miguel Pale pilsen
 |
| Beer, powdered juices and colas |
To top it all off, La Fiesta has a live band/ performances. Truly a pinoy fiesta! If there was a karaoke, it would have been grand.
 |
| Live entertainment |
What I like about La Fiesta:
- Concentrated theme same like Banzai's but the food were better prepared. So relative to buffets, food are better.
- 'Relatable' because I am a Filipino that it's funny you get to eat all those Filipino favorites in one sitting from the turo-turo to lechon to the fishes
- Pica-pica foods! You know, the fried isaw, etc. When you are full but still have to blabber stories, it's the best option. (Only take this route when full; eat the expensive ones first to be 'sulit')
- Well-lighted interiors (though I did not discuss it in this blog)
What I don't like:
- It's good but not everything's a joy. Some foods are still bleh though like that baked crab! Inside its yummy appearance lies rehashed meats.
 |
| Baked Crab: looks good outside but... |
 |
| ... the inside is bleh |
La Fiesta is also affiliated with Yakimix (I don't have a published review because I've eaten here before I took blogging srsly) and Buffet 101 but for me, among its sisters, it's the better version.
