Kusina Ni Lorraine offers a fast-casual dining option for those in North Las Vegas, checking off all the boxes of Filipino food cravings: lumpia, pancit, savory stews, and grilled meats. Additionally, the eatery doubles as an Asian mini-market, featuring staple Filipino ingredients, drinks, and snacks. Stock your home with Datu Puti Vinegar and Soy Sauce—a fundamental duo in both Filipino pantries and dishes—or, if you don’t feel like cooking, bags of chicharron—deep-fried pork rinds for snacking. 

This food truck serves traditional Filipino street-style food. Chef Salome Pilas, who hails from the Philippines, may only offer seven items, but each dish shines. Some of Oming’s praised dished include her pork sinugba, pork belly that’s grilled and marinated in house barbecue sauce and served over a bed of Jasmine white rice, and the adobo, a diner’s choice of pork or chicken, that’s cooked in soy sauce, vinegar and secret spices, and served over rice. A restaurant opens in the southwest at Blue Diamond Road, just west of Decatur Boulevard, soon, but her food truck generally parks at UNLV.

Fiesta Filipina Cuisine utilizes a turo-turo (“point-point”) ordering system, which means you point out what food you want as they simmer in steam tables. Your portions, be it adobo or pork sisig, are generously scooped onto a plate, alongside a dollop of steamed white rice. Fiesta Filipina’s turo-turo style makes service remarkably quick and casual, and its vast selection is perfect for those unfamiliar with Filipino cuisine. While you eat, unwind in the Filipino villa-inspired dining room and catch an episode of a Filipino soap opera on their—one of many—TVs. 

Tucked in a run-of-the-mill food stall at the Grand Canal Shoppes, Halo Halo features a modest (but excellent) menu of Filipino staples, from small bites to grilled entrees—lumpia, adobo sliders, lechon belly, pork sisig. Halo Halo most famously serves halo-halo topped with candied coconut, jackfruit, coconut jelly, flan, and tropical ice cream, which can be ordered a larger size or with fruitier flavors. Those wanting a lighter dessert can try their turon, an eggroll-style wrap filled with sweet plantains and jackfruit.

Filipino fast-food chain Jollibee—the ubiquitous to-go meal of Filipino childhoods—is most famous for its Chickenjoy (fried chicken) and Jolly Spaghetti (sweet sauce-topped spaghetti, loaded with sliced ham and hotdog), making quick and hearty meals. These meals, of course, are not complete without their desserts, such as halo-halo or peach mango pies. There are currently three locations in Las Vegas—in the Southwest, the Seafood City near UNLV, and Henderson.

At D’Pinoy’s, the most popular dishes all include a Filipino take on pork. The restaurant’s pork tonkatsu, deep-fried pork belly with banana ketchup, inihaw na baboy, grilled and marinated pork belly, and binagoongan fried rice, fried rice mixed with chopped pork, shrimp paste, and finished with mangoes and tomatoes on top, are all best sellers.

Cafe de Manila is a friendly Filipino spot that offers weekday lunch specials, all-day karaoke, and, occasionally, local artist performances in a bright, cozy atmosphere. Located in Flamingo Village Plaza, the shop offers venue services for any occasion, whether it be a graduation party or corporate event. It also offers a generous selection of catering services. Take advantage of Cafe de Manila’s all-day breakfasts to feast day or night on their hearty longsilog—a marriage of sweet longaniza, eggs, and garlic rice. 

For an innovative and stylish take on Filipino food, look no further than Full House BBQ. Pioneered by Chef Alex Irlandes—a chef turned culinary operations director at Las Vegas casinos—Full House BBQ provides a flashy, modernist approach to Filipino cuisine in a bistro-like environment, featuring hot pot-style pompano, sisig birria tacos, oxtail burgers, and Flaming Halo-Halo—a traditional halo-halo that is, as the name suggests, flambéed at your table.
