One best crispy pata in Southern California. Cripsy skin, soft meat, and it tastes very delicious. Vegetable sa gata consistently good. Owner need to put some effort on the Atmosphere. At least remove boxes and take out containers out of sight and fix restroom door with comb lock that is hard to open (have to ask waitress for combo but told me to just pull door hard with no apology - if they care). Need designer to update interior and exterior of restaurant. FilAm restaurant owners really need to level up their business in order to compete with other ethnic food restaurants.

First time I tried this place. Kare kare is a bomb. I love it. I recommend it for you to try if coming here. Next crispy pata! Skin is so crispy and thin, really good, and not dried inside.Halo-halo is also better than other places I had. The only thing is adobo fried rice, I would never order this again. The rice is under cook, but really saggy and no flavor at all. Like porridge for sick people. But the service is great. Atmosphere is ok. The restroom is not that bad, but I'll skip if I can. Overall, I would recommend Barrio Fiesta if you're up for authentic Filipino food.

We went here recently during lunch time. We were one of the first people here. Came here to celebrate my mom's birthday lol.Food is good, filling and tasty. But I don't think it was worth the price because of our bad experience.Our experience was horrible. I've been to this place before, a couple of times, and it has never been this bad.First, they didn't tell us earlier that their card machine is not working and that they only accept cash. Luckily, my mom had cash. Second, our server, this old guy is hella rude. We would ask simple questions and he'd be so rude about answering them and would explain his whole life to us. My mom asked if they do like a free dessert for birthdays or a discount, just to ask. And this server, he told us he doesn't even get benefits from this place or even receive birthday rewards. He told us he's been working here for more than 40 years and still doesn't get benefits like 401(k) or Sick leave. I just don't understand the point of him telling this to us. He literally ruined the birthday mood for my mom and the whole table.Third, we were supposed to get a large leche flan as part of the package. But instead, they gave us a small ube halaya. When I asked about the leche flan, this old server told me that there was no more and that if they had them, then he would have brought it out first. Like what kind of answer is that lol. Just tell me that you don't have it. He also said this in a very condescending tone like I should have known that they didn't have leche flan because they gave us ube halaya.Fourth, this place is dirty. We found dusts in our plates and like black spots. One of our rice plates had a little crack in the bottom of it where it was touching the rice. After this experience, we will not be coming back, or at least I won't be coming back. I also don't recommend this place. You are better off going to a different branch. Or maybe going to another Filipino restaurant like Green Banana Leaf in Chino Hills or Max's Restaurant in Glendale.

I went here on a Thursday lunch, it wasn't busy but there's only one server so it took a little while for us to get serve but it's okay and I understand.So let me talk about the food! The mixed Pancit canton! It was phenomenal! It is one of the best pancit I tried not too soggy and not too saucy, I like that! It taste very authentic tooSecond is the fried pork liempo, it was tasy and fresh but it was very oily and not crispy but it okay taste wise.Third is the garlic fried rice! If I can give this 6/5 I would this is the authentic garlic fried rice like my mother would cook for us every single day back in the Philippines! I love thisFourth is the tortang talong, I am so disappointed and don't know what to do, omg stay away from this dish though.Overall I'll give this 3.5 star but I'm rounding it up to 4 because the ambiance feel like it's a restaurant from the philippines the hut kind of vibes. Overall would give this 4/5, this should've got 5/5 but it's a little pricey and the tortang talong is throwing me off.

I was sceptic to try their Crispy Pata until I got to try it and It was really crispy on the outside and juicy inside. Their Kare Kare is good with their homemade bagoong.

This place is Fucking trash! So I ordered a while back and was unable to make it cause they closed early and only accepted cash! I called back a two weeks later, and they said you can't order cause you didn't pick up!!? WTF, first you're the one that closed and no one was there! And you're blaming me?!? Total pieces of trash people on how they treat people! I ordered from the place during pandemic to support, but I'll no longer support a business with attitude toward patrons that keep you in business! Don't order from this useless POS people! Go to Tita kitchen, their food is much better! I'll no longer support barrio shit fiesta

We came here to celebrate my Mom's birthday and she picked this place. She was craving their Kare-Kare and pancit. We ended up ordering chicken adobo, pancit combo, and their crispy pata. We arrived right when they opened. A lot of people started to come in and they only had one server (an older man). You could tell he was getting overwhelmed. With our meals we ordered sago at gulaman and mango juice. The server had to replace the mango juice since there was a bug in it. The pancit was made way too salty. The other dishes were ok. For the prices they charge we expected the food to taste better.

Food is always amazing. I'm picky when it comes to pancit and their pancit is really good. Highly recommend! Want to try crispy pata next time. But really good pancit.

Barrio Fiesta is a Filipino staple. There are two signature dishes they are well-known for:- Kare Kare: a peanut butter (yes, peanut butter) based stew with braised oxtail, tripe, green beans, and eggplant- Crispy pata: huge fried pork hockThey offer a house special combination ($56.75), and it comes with a large crispy pata, kare kare, and rice. So we went with that, and added a couple other dishes for our group of 4:- Pinakbet ($19.75): mixed vegetables w/ pork sauteed in fish and shrimp sauce- Bulalo ($23.45): beef shank and beef marrow soup with bok choy, potatoes, cabbage, and cornYou will end up with lots of leftovers, because the portion sizes are humongous. They are great the next day, so no worries! Bring a group of 4-6, order 3-4 entrees, and enjoy!

The food is great -we ordered sisig (frito) and lumpia shanghai and rice. Would have ordered more but we couldn't have leftovers since we were visiting from San Diego. The downside is that it's very expensive. Like very expensive, particularly compared to San Diego. The sisig appetizer wish $19.75 (so $20). Its served in a small cast iron pan sizzling but it's so overpriced. Same for the lumpia, it's also $19.75 for a serving. Large rice for 4 is $7.50! Total bill for 2 apps and rice was $53!!!!Also it's really cold inside to the point where eating there is not enjoyable. I know they want to save on heat but the temperature inside was probably high 50's, which was ambient temperature outside at the time.
I don't know what happened at this place, but today when we went there at 4:35 pm the woman there just asked us to sit down and said we should wait for the waiter and he would come and then the service was ugly...she was not polite sister..food is great but when the service is not good it is

Best Crispy Pata (pork knuckles) in town.
