It looks very luxurious with elegant interiors and lighting. It is very spacious too. It even has a stage area at the center (not visible for all diners though) where band play native Filipino songs or birthday songs.

Some of What I Tried
Soups
♥ Beef Bulalo and ♥ Sinigang na Hipon |
Both the Beef Bulalo and Sinigang na Hipon were delicious! I like that they didn't scrimp on the bone marrow (it has the fatty ligaments I like) for the Beef Bulalo and they used big prawns for the Sinigang na Hipon.
Grilled Seafood
That on the lower left is our ♥ Grilled Salmon Head ordered to be grilled and delivered to our table.
Goto, La Paz Batchoy and Mami Station
Pizza Station
Longa Mushroom Pizza and Garden Pizza |
They have sisig varieties of Bangus Sisig, Tokwa Sisig, Chicken Sisig and Pork Sisig. I was able to try all of them. Unfortunately, I found them all tad too salty. The reason why we ordered so much of this is because we found the small sizzling plate and the sisig being served with quail egg (instead of large chicken egg) to be so cute. LOL =p
Pinoy Street Food
Our favorite part of the buffet is the Pinoy Street Food. I feel my cholesterol rose up with all the ♥ Balot I ate! They also had Squid Balls, Chicken Balls, Fish Balls, Kikiam, Hot Dog, Grilled Large Intestine, Balun Balunan, Fiesta BBQ Chicken Wings, Tenga ng Baboy, ♥ 1-Day Old Chicken, Salted Peanuts, ♥ Kwek Kwek, Quail Egg, Pork BBQ, Tokwa and ♥ Isaw.

♥ Shawarma |
They also have a really good Shawarma. Good thing the serving is smaller than the conventional so you can spare some tummy space for it.
Desserts
The dessert is also another extensive station. They have two kinds of ice cream. I tried both. The Magnolia Sorbetes (with optional toppings of mini mallows, Nips, chocolate sprinkles, sour apple o's and more - same as in Yakimix) is better than the Sorbetero in Cone from the Sorbetero cart although the latter gives a pinoy street ice cream nostalgia. There are also ice drops like Nestle's Twin Pops. They have all sorts of pastillas: Ube Pastillas, Keso Pastillas and Pandan Pastillas. They also have Yema. There were also sugar-coated dried fruits like Dried Pineapple, Dried Guyabano and Dried Mangoes. There were so many delicious and tasty kakanin too like Bibingka, ♥ Puto Bumbong, Pichi-Pichi, ♥Sapin-Sapin, Biko, Pandan Biko, Ube Halaya, Maruya and ♥ Palitaw. The ♥Ginataan is also hearty! There is also a Make-Your-Own Halo Halo Station and a Candy Station with mini mallows, Nips, chocolate shrinkles, sour apple o's and more. If that's not enough, they also have a Crepe Station. And, a chiller filled with cakes and jello (i.e. Blue Lemonade Jelly, Coffee Jelly and Blueberry Cheesecake) similar to the ones offered at Yakimix. For health-concious, there's Fresh Fruits: banana, grapefruit, watermelon, papaya, melon and more.
Drinks
Skip the concentrated-based Tamarind Juice, Dalandan Juice, Mango Juice and Iced Tea and go for the Fresh Fruit Shakes: ♥ Kamias Shake, Banana Shake and Watermelon Shake. Then, have an after-meal Coffee or Tea.
Tsinoy Foodies Verdict
True to their claim, La Fiesta is certainly the largest Filipino buffet. I'm very impressed with the variety and quality. Service needs improvement but I understand the place is packed. And, I also liked their birthday gimik with the Instagram frame. =) This is highly recommended for those who want to explore Filipino cuisine for the first time and even those for the nth time.
