Food is best enjoyed when they are garlicky, just have a tad bit of sweetness to it, and have a bit of heat mixed in. Elias gives you just that, with their lovely Filipino dishes. Check out our selection!🐚 Potacio’s Pride: Baked New Zealand Mussels with a generous topping of garlic and cheese. Love the gooey cheese and garlic combo in this dish!🐷 Sisig Linares: Pork Sisig, which includes crunchy bits of pork, generous amounts of garlic. It has a light touch of acidity from the calamansi and some heat from the chili. This was served in a sizzling platter to keep everything nice and warm, and oh so yummy.🍄 Setas Salpicao: sizzling button mushrooms sautéed in garlic and olive oil. This vegetarian option was a great prelude to dinner with its garlicky and tangy flavors.🍡 Bolas de Fuego: deep fried crispy fish balls and squid balls with your choice of a sweet chili sauce, salty-sweet fishball sauce, or spicy vinegar. This starter reminded me of childhood days of waiting for the fishball vendor to come by so I could gorge on golden fluffy goodness. And just like when I was a kid, I drowned mine in heaps of sauce. ❤️ Ask me to choose which sauce I like, and I can’t choose. They each add their own flavor profile, so it’s really hard to just settle with one.🐷 Don Rafael: Crispy Pata, or basically deep-fried Pork leg with a soy vinegar dipping sauce, and pickled veggies called atchara to contrast with the rich meaty flavors. This main course was a crowd favorite with soft slide-off-the-bone meat and crispy skin made even better when dipped in that garlicky sauce of theirs. Portions were generous too, which was an added bonus!

When my sister went home from Japan, she really wanted to eat in elias. They serve authentic Filipino cuisine. We had their sinigang na lechon, and crispy beef tapa. The beef was crispy and tasty, and the lechon was full flavor tender pork and tangy broth. We paired this with plain rice. The ambiance is clean and bright.
