For the last few months, our go-to restaurant for our weekend family lunches was Lasa BBQ in SM City Fairview. It was a good decision to try Lasa BBQ because the food became an instant hit with us, especially with our children. If you are a parent, you know how little kids can be picky with their food so when you discover a restaurant that serves food that they approve, you will keep coming back to it. That is the case with Lasa BBQ, that’s why we kept coming back to it. The food at Lasa BBQ is delicious, that’s why we highly recommend it if you are eating out with your family or having a celebration with your friends.

By the way, in case you don’t know it yet, Lasa BBQ is the barbecue and roasting station of Lola Café, a chain of restaurants that offer some of the best Filipino dishes in the country.

Lasa BBQ at SM City Fairview gives out a homey vibe and I think that’s one of the reasons why we love eating here. The floor space of the restaurant itself is small but it’s comfortable because of the large tables and chairs. 

Each time we have lunch here, we always see big groups enjoying Lasa BBQ’s delicious food. Nonetheless, it never felt crowded inside the restaurant. There is always adequate space between tables so moving around is comfortable.

Whenever we go to Lasa BBQ, we always order the All-Meat Platter (P1,055) composed of four sticks of pork barbecue, four sticks of boneless chicken barbecue, four sticks of boneless chicken inasal, and four sticks of longganisa hamonado.

As I’ve mentioned earlier, our children love the pork barbecue and the longganisa hamondo, that’s why we love to order the All-Meat Platter. The pork barbecue is delicious and meaty; it tastes like the classic Filipino barbecue that we are accustomed to. What I love at Lasa BBQ is the spicy vinegar dipping sauce that comes with each order of the grilled food. The spicy vinegar sauce pairs well with the grilled food to balance out the richness of the meat.

Miguel and Rafa also love soup, so we make sure to order a soup dish when in Lasa BBQ. We’ve tried pork sinigang and it’s also good. It’s not spectacular but it tastes like homecooked sinigang with a hot and sour soup, vegetables, and pieces of pork. We’ve also had beef bulalo, which we all agreed was delicious. The bulalo broth is flavorful and the meat is extremely tender.

Sometimes, we would have extra orders of pork hamonado (which would usually end up in the takeout bag for our children to enjoy later) and chicken isaw. The chicken isaw is also good but not exceptional; just enough to satisfy our street food craving.

We also recently tried the crispy lumpia and we also loved it. The wrapper is delightfully crunchy and the vegetable filling is bursting with flavor.
