We chanced upon La Casita when we were out on field work. Literally hidden gem, to echo one of the other reviews here, as it's tucked away in an inside street.

Everything we ordered was delicious-- pako salad was fresh, kare-kare tasted perfect and vegetables were crisp, orange chicken was good (according to my colleague), and the turon was a great end to the meal. The place was homey and clean. The only downside was a lot of their menu items were not available.

Looking forward to eating here again. :)
