Lunch at Mama Fina's in Elmwood Park, NJ

My parents and I went to Mama Fina's House of Sisig in Elmwood Park and may have possibly had the best Filipino Food I've had in New Jersey.  Definitely the best sisig - somehow everything was perfectly crunchy and had the right amount of meat and fat.  Everything else was very solid too.  When we arrived around 1pm it wasn't that crowded but by the time we left every table was full and some people were even waiting for seats.  The food was so good that we decided to use them for the wedding.  Highly recommend this place and will definitely be returning.

Pork BBQ with lumpia shanghai and rice.  The BBQ was described as having a peanut sauce, which wasn't really what it tasted like to me.  But it was delish.  The lumpia was tasty too

Lechon kiwali, humbo and kare kare

Lechon - perfectly fried.  Lots of meat and not break your teeth hard

Sinigang - sour soup.  Very homey and the meat was well cooked

Pork sisig - this is a game changer.  Best sisig I've eaten and i normally don't like it because the onions are too strong.  Here the pork was so perfectly crunchy and the fat melted into everything.  I didn't even pick out the onions for the most part

Spicy chicken sisig - also amazingly delish.  Never had non-pork sisig before.  Same great flavor; just slightly less crunchy

Bulalo - bone marrow beef soup. Delish,  As a child I never appreciated bone marrow but now I always want it whenever it's on a menu

Turon for dessert - I normally don't live turon when the sugar is caramelized, but it was very well done here
