Finally! A Filipino restaurant that is delicious and does not serve pork. You won't miss it. I have nothing against pork, it's just too cloying and gamey. I do not eat pork as a flavor preference. Eagle Rock kitchen pays a very clean and delicious omage to Filipino Classics like chicken adobo and longganisa, both are made from chicken. I will definitely return and try the other dishes. It's a very small and manageable menu with enough variety for vegetarians as well. The chicken adobo it's slightly crispy and has the sauce served on the side. The sauce is meant to either pour over your garlic fried rice or dip the chicken into. I usually like a lot of sauce, but the flavorful marinated chicken has a little bit of crunch to it and the side of mixed vegetables is cooked al dente and has tasty savoriness to them. Exactly the way I like vegetables. When I asked about the combination plate, I found out that the corned beef is house-made, and it is available by itself or in combination with the other entrees. Apparently this place also caters. Instead of the usual pork dishes, you will find only beef, chicken, and milkfish as your main animal proteins. I usually do not order the frozen snow drinks that are at most Filipino restaurants, but I had to give theirs a try. It is snowy shaved ice with house made leche flan custard, purple yam, pecans, bananas, with activated chia seeds, and unsweetened evaporated milk. Delicious. All of the ingredients are made in house and without preservatives or artificial colors, as is the case with traditional halo halos. Small dishes included fried egg, sauteed vegetables, make for a handful of sides. Next time, I will have to try either the filipino-style beef ribs or a combination plate with their chicken longganisa and house-made corned beef, with garlic rice and yummy veggies. They are not open on Fridays or Saturdays. The rest of the week and their hours are 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. They have a parking lot with a few spaces, but there should be ample street parking as well. Eagle Rock Kitchen is in a little strip mall on the intersection of Colorado Boulevard and Collegeview Avenue in Eagle Rock. Worth the trip if you want some clean, tasty, and pork free Filipino food that is just as good if not superior to the traditional tropes. Family-run, the service is genuinely friendly and focused on giving...

The plates are decent, My family and I usually eat a lot so it was surprising we got full fast. The customer service was tremendous. The server was very helpful and friendly.

Read moreI just did take out because the restaurant was closed for COVID, but the food was amazing. They really know how to capture the best flavor of Filipino food without being too greasy, salt or sour. I was a bit hesitant because I thought the prices were high looking at the menu, but the food really feels like each dish was made with care. The rice, fish and halo halo were...
