“Dollar Hits revolutionized Filipino street food in America when it opened in 2013 in Los Angeles's Historic Filipinotown, creating an authentic Filipino BBQ experience that transports diners straight to Manila's street food scene. Featured on Netflix's 'Street Food' series, Dollar Hits gained mainstream recognition for its unique self-grilling concept where customers select raw meat skewers from inside the restaurant, then grill them personally on charcoal grills set up in the parking lot. The restaurant's name comes from its original pricing of $1 per skewer, though prices have increased slightly while remaining incredibly affordable. During the day, Dollar Hits operates as a traditional Filipino cafeteria serving classic dishes, but the real magic begins at 4:30 PM when the barbecue grills fire up and the parking lot transforms into a lively Filipino street food party. The menu features adventurous options like isaw (beef intestines), betamax (congealed pork blood), adidas (chicken feet), and pwet ng manok (chicken butt) alongside more familiar pork, chicken, and sausage skewers. Located in the neighborhood with the largest Filipino population in the United States, Dollar Hits must maintain authentic flavors to satisfy demanding Filipino customers while introducing curious newcomers to Filipino street food.”
