A home away from home.
We came up of the name “Eskenita Foods” because we were inspired of the simple life in the Philippines. How most people enjoy eating simple food that are being sold in the “street corners”.
Back in 2015, my wife and I attended a Filipino festival and we both noticed that there is not a single vendor that sells authentic Filipino street food, like “Isaw” and “Betamax”. Because of that, we saw a lot of potential to put a Filipino street food shop here in greater Toronto area. We also know that there is a strong Filipino community here. We even have a “little Manila” here in GTA. We were inspired by it to cater to our own people.
Our main concept is to showcase Authentic Filipino street food that is cooked per order to maintain freshness. Our main goal is to cater to our Filipino community and make them “feel at home” and make them feel nostalgic when they eat our food. It is also our goal to showcase our street food to non-Filipinos here in Toronto and give them a little taste/experience of what it’s like to be in the streets of the Philippines. We want to serve everyone with authentic Filipino street food that “tastes like home”.
