Empanada Ni Mercy

Went to Mapunapuna a little after 12 and took a chance to get my Lechon fix at Lechon King but they were completely Sold Out so after leaving and heading back home another Filipino Food Truck got my attention which was parked right in front on Coca Cola in Mapunapuna and it was a Filipino Food Truck called Emapanada ni Mercy so I decided to see what it was all about.As I was looking at the Menu I was pleasantly surprised to see they have Lechon Belly on the Menu and I didn't even hesitate to get myself a 3 Choice Plate with Lechon Belly,Pork Adobo and Mongo Beans(Not Pictured) it was served in a separate container.After taking a bite of the Lechon Belly, it was fantastic just as good as Lechon King with that Crispy Glassy Skin and Meat Nice and Moist. I honestly can say in my opinion it was really good. What I like about this place is that she gives you this Shoyu Vinegar with finely diced Garlic or Onions I wasn't sure what it was but it's the perfect compliment to the Oily Lechon. Love how Aunty automatically adds it to the Lunch Plate. As for the Pork Adobo it was just ok. Love how it's served Dry but it definitely lacked that Vinegary Punch that I usually expect when I eat Pork Adobo. It was definitely missing something.Also got the Mongo Beans. To me I prefer the more Thick type of Mongo Beans and not the Soupy type. It wasn't that bad but I love to put that Thick Pasty Mongo Beans right into my White Rice. I also like bits of Lechon in my Mongo Beans.Overall this 3 Choice Plate came out to $16.50 but I had to get another Scoop of White Rice for a Dollar more so total price $17.50.I honestly can say if there a reason for me to make a repeat visit here at Empanada ni Mercy is for the Lechon and Lechon only. It's great to know there's a plan B if I'm out of luck at Lechon King.I can just drive right down the Street and hope to the Lechon Gods that this Truck will have that Lechon available when I get there.Excellent Lechon here at Empanada ni Mercy Filipino Food Truck and that Crack Sauce is so good too!!! Now we have more that one choice for that Onolicious Lechon Belly in Mapunapuna

Drove by the other day and noticed this new food truck..not sure how long this has been there but saw it was Filipino food and wanted to try it out.We ordered two plates, pork adobo and lechon. Both plates weren't the greatest. Pork adobo was tough, the flavor was okay. Lechon had good flavor wasn't tough which was good. some parts of the skin were tough though where Ii had to spit it out before I break my molars..lol. When we ordered our plates it seemed like the lady didn't want to be there. Was looking kinda salty. Not sure if I would come back,

full meal in a pocketi needed more vinegar tho... maybe even some spicy!i wish she had later hrs so i can grab some more

First time trying and it was good! Little oily but still lots of good flavor and stuffed well! Service was quick, not much parking, have to find street parking.

Just ordered 5 empanadas from this food truck and it is one of the best I've ever had! It was very full and still crispy. The mother and her daughter working there were really nice and helpful. Come support this family owned business!

Food was very flavorful. We ordered the empanadas (very girthy) and mini two choice plate (adobo & lechon). The adobo was very soft and full of flavor. The lechon was full of flavor as well and not dry, skin was crispy to my liking. The service was ok, imo, the best food comes from the nonchalant ones. Ambiance is of a typical food truck that sells killah grindz.

Soooo good! Haven't had ilocos empanada in ages! Tastes just like when I had it back when I visited home in the PI!
