Alas, this placed has since closed. Oh well, you can always go to Elvie's Turo Turo just across the street.

The closest home cooked Filipino food you can find in the city. Generous in portions, which is important in Filipino restaurants (successful ones seem to skimp on their entrees over time, with all rice and no meat). But lucky for NYers, they can taste decent Filipino food at real prices. You can practically share entrees with 2 people for under $11. And, their Halo Halo comes chock full of flan, ice cream, beans, etc. For those of you who have never had Filipino food, think of it as the cheapest way to transport yourself across the Pacific and try a new cuisine that's hearty and culturally authentic.
