I was browsing for Pilipino food and was longing for Lengua Mechada, a dish that Macrine loves to cook and I love to devour with gusto. However, this dish is not an ordinary dish in a typical Pinoy Family. Usually it is only prepared for special occasions such as birthdays or anniversaries. However, this new restaurant only a few minutes from Fair Oaks, has this dish in their menu including Seafood Paella and other Filipino-Spanish Party dishes. Too Bad I am moving, but hopefully there will be a high class restaurant serving Spanish-Filipino dishes in the Walnut Creek Area. I know they have SeaFood City in Concord. But knowing and shopping at other SeaFood City stores, the menu in their restaurant are the common Pinoy Food. Here's a brief description of Fiesta Philippines, Rancho Cordova from their website.
"Our restaurant is operated by three native-born Filipinos whose
interests in cooking began at a young age learning from family members.
With a primary background in Filipino dishes, they expanded their skills
from working at various Filipino-Spanish restaurants in the Philippines
and in California. At Fiesta Philippines, our kitchen elevates Filipino
cuisine with the infusion of Spanish flavors into our dishes". Here are my favorite Spanish-Filipino dishes.

Here are 2 reviews of the restaurant
1. Simply put, the food was as authentic as it gets. Sinigang was perfectly sour, with the fish and bakchoy well prepared. Calamares paired well with the soy sauce. The beef tapa meal reminded me of my Lola’s breakfasts and had me licking my plate! Service was also great, our server checked up on us periodically, as well as the hosts. Decor inside the restaurant was spectacular, colorful flags lining the ceiling, a cute rose wall for social media, and a cute bahay kubo-style wall decor, lots of attention to detail. Being a Filipino immigrant and having eaten at plenty of Filipino restaurants in the Sacramento area, this is definitely a place to check out! Will be returning and bringing my extended family!
2. This is an upscale Filipino restaurant, a go to place to relax and enjoy authentic Filipino cuisine. The food is awesome, the ambiance is warm and joyful, the staff and management were extremely welcoming and helpful. I really enjoyed eating there. Tasty, fresh and authentic. Thank you for opening this much needed oasis in Sacramento Marvin David and company.
Its just too bad, I am moving and will not be able to taste their Beef Lengua and/or their Paella dishes.
