When the longing for authentic Pinoy dishes strikes in the U.S., Isla Grand stands ready to transport your taste buds back to the Philippines.

Carmina is traveling to the United States to spend time with her family. My dad planned a family gathering for Mother's Day at their favorite Pinoy restaurant . Since reservations aren’t possible, we arrived an hour early to ensure we could get a table for twelve before everyone else showed up. As my dad approached Isla Grand , the branch we visited in Pleasant Hills, California , the host at the door said they could prepare a table for twelve at five o'clock. Later, the server called my dad's name and guided us to our table. The place was bustling with people enjoying meals and celebrating Mother's Day. On our first visit to Isla Grand, I was captivated by the décor, noticing many native items that gave the place a fancy yet authentic Filipino feel. They usually have a live band, but unfortunately, there was no entertainment the night we went.

Easy Mexican Taco Cup Salad Recipe




I did more exploring for New Year's Eve I have family members who are watching on their diet and prefer to eat a salad than a taco itself. I came out buying a taco salad cup found in the grocery store.


No need to heat up the shell it is ready to eat.

I found refined beans in Uni Mart Grocery store.


You may look for my ground meat and salsa recipe for your reference to add on to your own taco salad cup.

You may also look into my homemade guacamole recipe.

Just like in the picture shown I had displayed mine as you are supposed to make your own salad to prevent the shell soggy and stay crispy.

This way someone can make their own salad cup on what they wanted to put inside.

Ingredient:
  • Homemade salsa
  • Homemade Taco Ground Meat
  • Arla Tex Mex Shredded Cheese (any cheese)
  • Sour Cream
  • Guacamole
  • Romaine lettuce (wash and cut the in 2 inches size)
  • Canned refined beans (optional)
  • Jalapenos (optional)
  • Hot Sauce

Step 1:
  • In a flat platter plate the romaine lettuce
  • In a small separate bowl place, the sour cream, salsa, refined beans, cheese and guacamole
Step 2:
Assemble the taco salad cup
  • Use three pieces lettuce place inside taco salad cup
  • Add ground meat of your choice
  • Add refined beans
  • Add salsa
  • Add sour cream
  • Add guacamole
  • Add shredded cheese
  • Add jalapenos 
  • Add hot sauce
Enjoy!
