SPEND IT BY SUPPORTING OUR FILIPINO FOOD ENTREPRENEURS IN NEW YORK CITY! WE ALREADY KNOW WE SERVE THE BEST CUISINE AND ARE THE MOST HOSPITABLE IN THE WORLD. WHEN WE DINE TOGETHER, WE WIN, YOU WIN, WE ALL WIN! MAHARLIKA FILIPINO MODERNO Maharlika started out with a big dream and bigger heart: introduce Filipino food and bold flavors to a wider audience beyond the coveted Filipino kitchens of our lolas (grandmothers) and yayas (caretakers). And just like our immigrant parents taught us: we can do anything with hard work, perseverance and determination. The vision is Nicole Ponseca and the food is Miguel Trinidad, and since 2011, our whole team has shared their love of Filipino food and spirit to anyone who cared. The menu focuses on classic and treasured flavors and can run from truly authentic to inspired. Service is family-like, without pretense, much like dining at someone's home.

It’s named after the "Jeepney", the WWII jeeps left behind by US occupation. Filipinos took the left-over jeeps chopped them up and tricked them out, creating a vibe, a mode of transport and a symbol that is uniquely Filipino. That is the essence of being of Jeepney and being Filipino – it’s a vibe, a mode, and a symbol of uniqueness. Jeepney was on the fore-front of popularizing Filipino Food and its first-mover status, awards, and press cemented its cred as pioneers and has inspired chefs and restaurants around the world with its take on Filipino food, the Original Kamayan Night, an award-winning burger and Tiki cocktails.

Maria opened Mama Fina’s in Elmwood Park over 13 years ago, specializing in sisig, a traditional Filipino chopped fried pork dish. The original Mama Fina’s offers not only pork sisig but also chicken, tofu, tuna, milkfish and squid variations on the classic to appeal to people who don’t eat pork. The NYC location offers a very similar menu with all the same sisig variations and sizzling dishes that are the restaurant’s specialty. Breakfast plates with garlic fried rice and eggs are available all day as well Filipino-style spaghetti, crispy pork belly, and crispy short ribs. Dishes unique to the NYC location are the pork sisig sliders, which come with fries, and the “pulled pork with crunch,” a shredded pork sandwich served on a brioche bun topped with crunchy pork skins.
