Fariñas Ilocos Empanada — Restaurant in Quezon City

I was looking for a quick fix at that time, in the afternoon when dine-ins are still not allowed , that i chanced upon this small resto under a tree. So, i was surmising if i could just grab an empanada to munch on while in travel. So, when i got in, i was ushered by an attendant to their menu, and of course, not sure of what to eat, i just ordered their empanada Ultimate as what they call it. After paying, i was told to wait outside & after 10 minutes, i got my order. There are lots of grab riders outside also waiting for their orders, i think. Or just taking shade under the tree. On the food, ....Its 135 pesos each, by the way. I peek on the paper bag and yes, it was an orange empanada alright. And it was oily. Sorry , did not take a picture of it because of the mess...You know. Just picture it on your mind or look on others pictures. When i got home, i immediately tasted it and yes, it is delicious alright, but you have to put vinegar sauce to complete the experience. Which they have also provided. Now, that's why it's oily, they have included ground pork and a piece of egg sunny side up and cooked it deep fried. Now, if that won't taste good..You make the guess. I will surely go back here to try their other delicacies which i think also would satisfy my palate. And i'll modify...

Sorry, I could not give a good review. Just an honest one and hope the owners would look into it.

I ordered the P240 Garlic rice+longganisa+salted egg+bagnet combo meal for takeout.

The longganisa they gave me was not fresh. (I threw it away) The salted egg was not salty The garlic rice (or fried rice?) is OK. The bagnet is OK lang.

I thought ordering their pricier meals would be an amazing experience. Sorry. It's not. Sayang yung P240. 👎👎👎👎👎

Yung service is also bad. While I was jolly, the worker was the opposite. Naka simangot. No greetings. I was the only customer at that time. Their attitude really dampers the atmosphere. I was thinking... malapit na ba mag closing time sila, at humabol pa ako ng order...?

Honest review...

serving Ilocano food that pleases taste buds of people from all ages and professions. I witness that more and more people eat here as time passes by. Makes me proud for them as I am Ilocana. spacious and relaxed vibe 24 hours open their special empanada is the best one I have tasted so far does not have own parking area small serving of rice meals dinakdakan is so greasy cheesy empanada has no noticeable diff with special empanada. Same is true with mami. Just order special mami, not the super special (?) mami.

Recommended food combo: special empanada, dinuguan, rice, special mami,...
