Pampangueña is a grocery store first, open as a restaurant only on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays. Sisters Josie Magtoto-Lacsina and Elsa Magtoto-Burger run the kitchen, cooking the dishes they grew up with in Pampanga, the Philippine province the restaurant is named for. It's been going for more than two decades, drawing diners from well outside Cutler Bay.
There's no fixed menu — what's available changes day to day. Past spreads have included ginisang munggo, deep-fried bangus, fried lumpia, sinigang with salmon head, and denengdeng, a leafy-vegetable take on pinakbet. Leche flan is a constant, sold by the slice or whole.
