Some friends and I had lunch at Max's of Manila, a Filipino restaurant, at La Puente Hills, California. To many Filipinos, Max's is a nostalgic place that brings back memories of yesteryears in Manila. The beginnings of the restaurant goes back to 1945 when Maximo Gimenez opened a cafe. The chicken, in particular, was popular, and soon other Max's Restaurants opened with the slogan "The house that Fried Chicken Built."
Max's Chicken
This particular restaurant is located in La Puente Hills Mall. The place is clean although it has a generic look. It does not have a Filipino ambiance. They serve Filipino dishes, and we had: kare-kare, adobo, fresh lumpia, crispy pata, fried chicken, and halo-halo.
While I enjoyed the food, I did not think it was remarkable.
I'm rating Max's of Manila in La Puente 3 to 3.5 Stars.
