Dollar Hits

Head to this grocery store in Historic Filipinotown for $1 DIY Filipino street food-style meats skewers, which you then take to cook yourself on grills set up in the parking lot. Those who prefer to stick to traditional meats will find plenty of pork and chicken, but where Dollar Hits truly shines is in its offal selection, from intestines to glistening hunks of pork blood. Fish balls, longanisa sausage, quail eggs and potato fritters round out the rest of the skewer selection, but the hot food counter itself is also worth a second look, especially for turon (deep-fried banana rolls) and balut (fertilized duck eggs), when available. Tip: Skip the small strip mall parking lot and look for a spot around the corner instead.
