Aurora Filipino Cuisine — Restaurant in Santa Cruz

I have been on this place only once but I will definitely go back. Everything we ordered was impressive. The kesong puti croquetas IMO was better than what I have tasted when I visited Spain. They also have foods that you won't find anywhere else (or at least rare). I will also recommend any dishes cooked with coconut milk. Aside from the foods, the place is proud of its history (being among the first salon in the area dating back to early 1900s iirc) and is a prime example of a well exhibited adaptive reuse. The staffs doubles as a museum guides adding to the immersive experience of the customers. I'm somewhat confident that this place will not disappoint...

Omg amazing place and hidden gem in Santa Cruz laguna! What makes it special is the food are still your classic Pinoy food but on a different level, flavors are more enhanced and the ingredients are very organic, ung ma surprise ka kasi to find out that two ingredients would work best together in a dish like Pako salad and minanok which are my faves. The chef is really spectacular, he redefines filipino dishes while keeping that classic taste that we like, each taste brings back childhood memories baga. I don't like sharing places like this kasi baka next time I come back I have to fall in line na just to get a table hahaha, I would definitely...

Only went there once. It was a cozy place. If you like Spanish-Colonial Times Architecture you're going to love it there. The food is good (so far) too with prices that won't break the bank. The staff are not quite attentive though. They missed one of our orders. Also, the guy at the entrance opened the door for my roaming 2-year-old kid! Good thing I was watching. Otherwise my kid...
