Lunch at Mama Fina's in Elmwood Park, NJBulalo

Mama Fina's overall is definitely the best Filipino restaurant in NJ.  The sisig is by far, the best I've ever eaten.  Prior to MF's I never truly enjoyed sisig, but it's so perfectly toasted with the right ratio of fat to meat.  The onions are always caramelized so I enjoy eating them.  The rest of the dishes are also really delicious.  Portions are good and while everything is served in a home-y way, it still looks clean and classy.  Love this place.  The only gripe is it can take a long time, but this time we arrived pretty early so the food came out super quickly.  Also the food still tastes good re-heated.

Long beans with pork, and lechon kiwali.  Both were divine

Pork sisig, salmon, and pork humbo

Chicken bbq (wings!) and pork sisig

Bulalo (bone marrow soup); bicol express; and pinakbet.  The bicol express was super spicy and not what we've had before.  Instead of lechon pieces it was mostly tiny bits of pork plus peppers

Chicken adobo

Entire table of food.  SO GOOD
