ALONG AND AROUND SOUTH GRAND
Guerrilla Street Food Located on the edge of the South Grand
corridor at Grand and Arsenal Street, this tiny eatery is big on flavor.
Menu items are made fresh daily, with many ingredients sourced from
local farms. Named after the Filipino resistance fighters in World War
II, Guerrilla Street Food began as a food truck dishing out traditional
fare such as pancit (pan-fried noodles), fried lumpia (vegetable-filled
eggroll) and Wandering Pig asado, which is slow-roasted pork with
native calamansi lime, hoisin sauce and garlic, and a mélange of other
flavors. Can’t decide? Try the 800 LB. Guerrilla, a burrito or bowl
combining the pork asado with chicken adobo, a vinegar-, soy- and
garlic-based stew that is popular throughout the Philippine Islands.
