I haven’t really tried Elvie’s, but the best Filipino restaurants can be found in 69th St. – Queens. This is the place where you can basically find all things Philippines. The restaurant “Perlas ng Silangan” (Pearls of the East) has the best Krispy Pata (crispy pork leg), and as mentioned above “Ihawan” has the most delicious Pork Barbeque I’ve ever tried. Also, Rene’s (along that area too) has the best Avacado shake in town. Go on down to Queens and try the most authentic of all authentic Filipino foods in New York.

P.S. For Manhattan Filipino Cuisine, I heard Dragonfly (47-49TH Ave S Ste 1, New York City) also has some great food for great prices.

Hope this helps.

Hey that’s neat cuz I have never had Filippino food before either (although one of my best friends is Filippino) and I am dying to try Halo Halo! I heard about it a few months ago and it sounds awesome. I heard everyone makes it differently.

The best Filipino food in New York City can be found in Woodside, Queens:

Ihawan – 40-06 70th St, Woodside – Amazing Filipino BBQ at even more amazing prices.

Engeline’s – 58-28 Roosevelt Ave, Woodside – I think this place is fairly new, but I was there last weekend and the food is pretty close to a home-cooked meal. The halo-halo here is excellent.
