James Fiesta Grill - Parkville

Another update: Going to James Fiesta Grill is now part of my Friday reworking routine. As soon as I get into the car, I drive the restaurant and place a delivery of my favorites — Lechon kawali food with extra sauce and pork pancit bihon. I also occasionally order the special Halo-Halo. The one who answers the phone is always friendly and friendly. He needs the time to repeat what I say to make sure he has the order right. My order is ready when I tell them I'll pick it up. I highly recommend calling after your order, as there are times when they receive a large catering order. Updated review: came by today, two weeks after my first visit here. This time I ordered Pancit Bihon with pork for $7.95, 9 pieces Lumpia Shanghai for $ 4.50, Lechon Kawali Meal $10.95 and special Halo $5.95 . The Pancit Bihon was really delicious! However, Lumpia Shanghai was a disappointment. The lumps were very thin and tiny that I couldn't even taste what was wrapped in it. It almost tasted like I'm just eating a deep fried lump pack. The Lechon kawali is still my favorite comfort food. And the Halo-Halo meets this hot and humid summer day. Original Review: I just visited James Fiesta Grill because it was next to the small Filipino grocery store where I went to Taro roots for my Tamarind soup. This restaurant is certainly one of those “hole on the wall” places. You go to a small dining area with four small tables. The ambience leaves much to be desired. Look past and you will notice that the place is clean and the staff is very friendly and helpful. I ordered Pancit Palabok $8.95, Lechon Kawali Meal $10.95 and special Halo $5.95. The food is only made when you order it. Be ready to wait for a while, but it is definitely worth it. The Palabok was so delicious that I had to stop eating the whole thing at a meeting! Lechon was cooked directly with the crispy pork skin and chewing meat. I didn't even add salt. The Halo-Halo had so many ingredients in that it could be a complete meal, all by itself. The generous portions of Palabok and Lechon could easily satisfy two people. I am sooo glad to have found this place and I would definitely come back and try the other foods in the menu.

One of the best Filipino spots in DMV area. Good food. Appropriately expensive. Unpredictable atmosphere. This is not your chic fusion restaurant, but simply home cooked meals. Note that it is a self-service operation. Do not expect employees to float over you and your needs.

It is always a pleasant experience to James Fiesta Grill. The hosts chefs are always beautiful and answer all the questions you have about their kitchen. And they usually have a good selection of items in their refrigerator to take home later with desserts.

Filipino food is good. They have unique taste of food. Some foods I can't explain the taste, but still good, most of their food really taste great. Thank you to the staff, you are really great people.

My first time going there and I would order from them again in a heartbeat! I wouldn't eat there per say because when I went there was a huge loud fan. I have anxiety so loud noises when I'm especially tired that day do not help. Here's what I ordered Lumpia 10/10 small but flavorful! Didn't even need the side sauce. Grilled pork belly sooo good! You can taste the smoke from the grill on it. Very simple and clean tasting. Pancit (thin noodles version) so good! I was surprised to see that it had fried pork belly on top. It was chickeny and overall very clean and flavorful. Halo halo I wish mine had more jelly and condense milk. But otherwise VERY refreshing. I would order everything that I got again. I had enough to share with hubby and we both enjoyed what we tasted.
