Isla Fiesta Buffet 🇵🇭🍽️ With lots of Filipino food varieties for only ₱300, I really can’t complain! They serve all the usual Filipino dishes you’d find in every celebration — which totally explains the name Isla Fiesta. 🎉 People just come and go, so no reservations needed! It’s actually cheaper to eat here than in most fast food chains. They’ve got veggies, meats, and even desserts — all the basics covered. Don’t expect top-notch quality though; the food is more like what you’d get in a carinderia. Still, it’s a budget-friendly spot that gives you that familiar fiesta feel without breaking the bank. Tried Isla Fiesta Buffet hoping for a good local food experience, but it was honestly a letdown. Most of the dishes were either cold, salty, and some trays were almost empty. The taste was very bland, and a few items tasted like they had been sitting out for too long. The place looked nice from the outside, but the inside felt cramped. For the price, I expected better quality and variety. Won’t be coming back. Plenty of better options in Puerto Princesa. We went here because price is reasonable, the restaurant looks clean and had an islander design. We went here on a weekend late afternoon and our rate was P450 each, we paid via GCash. The food looked presentable and very Filipino-styled. Service was excellent. Water is part of the price but not other basic beverages which is okay. The only problem was the dishes were too salty.

We went here yesterday to have our dinner. 450php per head and you will enjoy their delicious foods. Every dishes are labeled. They have seafood, chicken, pork, vegetables and soup. Sadly, the chao fan rice yesterday was hard. They also have desserts. I love their sweet buchi and palitaw!! My only suggestion is if you can include ice tea/cucumber juice as your drinks instead of serving only water. Staffs are also nice. The place is spacious and clean. As a visitor and first timer in Puerto Princesa, I highly recommend this place to you. :)

Delicious traditional Filipino dishes, meat lovers will be happy to choose from many. Food was very tasty and well spiced, there was a couple vegetarian options. I wish dishes were better described as I wasn't exactly sure what I was getting. Place looks nice, it's spacious and clean, staff was very nice too. I would definitely recommend, it's good value for money.
