Our Story

"Here, crispy, rich, seasoned and savory pork belly (bagnet) finds its way into many traditional Filipino dishes — and other tasty and imaginative recipes. And, the traditional Filipino breakfast of silog (rice with egg on top) finds its way into larger meals.

​

Envisioned, owned and managed by Melvin Blanco, the dine-in or take out restaurant was named out of respect for Blanco’s father and mother.

​

“My father Juan was a mechanic at the U.S. Naval Base Subic Bay in the Philippines,” Blanco said, “and my mother Nita was an expert at cooking for our large family, friends and neighbors. Her dishes were very much looked forward to.”

​

Nita’s food was simultaneously a small business, labor of love and passion to give, as she would sometimes deliver meals to those who could not pay for them. And Blanco follows in her footsteps, particularly regarding our front-line workers."
