Kusina San Diego: A Taste of the Pacific

Food was great atmosphere is great not a nice people really was a great place to meet for our SDRI group

I came back for the crispy pata but it was a lot different than the first time we ordered it seemed that the crispy pata was old and had been reheated several times. It was awful.

Went to a carshow in Miramar and use yelp to see where to eat lunch before driving back to Vegas and came across this business. It was hot and their a/c is not working We were greeted promptly and had us sit wherever we want. It wasn't busy and the food came out fast. Tried the lumpia, miki bihon pancit, garlic rice and sisig. My son devoured the lumpia. The pancit had large serving and we were only able to finish less than half. The sisig can be better though. The meat was sliced into cubes and not the usual sisig. It wasn't the best but decent. I like the garlic rice but the bottom portion lacked taste and some parts are plain. Overall it was good minus the heat coz it was uncomfortable. Hopefully they fix it soon

Really excellent service, server did a great job and she is attentive and greets you with a smile. We ordered Sizzling Sisig last night which was great however the Chicken Inasal was still a little bit raw although you can tell it was marinated which makes it so tasty and tender! Overall experience was good. Would definitely recommend this place to try!

Food was just okay. Some were good but nothing was very good. I definitely don't recommend the halo halo. Ordering it made my whole experience bad. Halo halo is hard to mess up but Kusina messed it up real bad for me. It wasn't shaved ice it was crushed. They made their own ube ice cream which was bland and not churned well. They made their own ube cream/syrup which tasted bad - parang panis. There were about 2 ingredients besides the ube ice cream. Lastly, they put it in a margarita style glass which made it hard to mix. It would take a lot to convince me to come back here.

Great Filipino cuisine!

We came from AZ only to be turned around because they were having an event. The lady treated us like 2nd class while emphasizing the importance of “their clients”, stating, “well, you know our clients…..we have these clients.” I interrupted her and said we’ll just go somewhere else. So we went to Max Restaurant and spent $300 there because we were hungry! Also , not sure why they had the door opened? Saving on electricity? That’s one way for flies to enter an establishment. ☹️

Food is okay. We ordered sisig, kare-kare and garlic rice. Sisig is not sizzling looks like it has been sitting out for awhile. Staff was friendly but forgetful. She mixed up our order with the other table and gave us their food which we immediately alert her. The place is dark due to dark curtains covering all windows and cheap metal patio chairs makes too much noise when you move them. We are going to try other items on the menu maybe the chef is having an off day when we first visited this place.

Decided to give this place a try & so glad we did! They had delicious food, as well as fast & friendly staff. Also had a great variety of options available.
