Farinas Ilocos Empanada - Omaha

I love eating at Farinas Ilocos Empanada. I have a few favorite branches, and they are all serving delicious empanadas. But this one in particular really made me think of their ingredients and food preparation. I ordered a box of 5 for takeout. All of the 5 empanadas disappointingly included shreded plastics. I thought they were part of the shreded vegetable. But out of curiosity, I collected all of them and checked them through a magnifying glass. Sadly, the small pieces are plastic! To the owner and staff. Please check your empanadas thoroughly because not all of your customers can tolerate plastic in their digestive system. I won't include the pictures cause this might be a red flag to the sanitary inspection team to check out your resto. I am making this comment for you (store) to improve your food preparation.

I've been a long time customer of their empanada but recently, malasado ang itlog! Not sure if they are on a hurry to fulfill orders. Hope you can do better!

I am very dissapointed. Your store is open 24hrs and your signage in your door is open pero pag pasok ko sasabihin nyo closed kayo dahil kumakaen kayo? tapos may customer na kakalabas lang tapos sasabihin nyo closed? I am working also in restaurant pero napaka terrible naman ng policy nyo. This happened january 12, 2024 around 12:30 am

I was craving for Ilocano food so I was absolutely delighted when I saw that they had a dine in restaurant at Maysilo, Mandaluyong. The longaniza was good but the pakbet was cooked with tomato paste/sauce instead of real tomatoes kaya the taste was off. (The longaniza with pakbet platter costs Php210. For me they should work on the pakbet because talagang the way it was cooked, hindi lasang lutong Ilocano. So for that quality, di worth yung Php210. The service was OK. There is ample seating for maybe 30 dine in customers. But the parking is limited. (Just 1 space in front of their restaurant/store. On the up side, you can buy frozen/packed longaniza and other Ilocano delicacies from their restaurant/shop at Maysilo, Mandaluyong, which is open 24 hours a day. So ikaw na lang magluto para sigurado na you get the taste right. Service: Dine in Meal type: Brunch Price per person: ₱200–400 Food: 4 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 4
