I've eaten a bunch of Filipino food since one of my stepdads is Filipino, and I think some of it's good, and some of it's really kind of strange. I'm not sure what "Mexican" food I've had that's really Mexican and what's Tex-Mex, but in any case, I did occasionally notice some similarities between them. One thing I noticed is that I tire of the Filipino stuff a lot faster than I do the Mexican. Maybe that's just because I was introduced to it at a later age.
I don't know how much of what he made was Filipino and how much he picked up elsewhere, but the two things I probably liked most were some kind of yellow chicken curry and some kind of reddish-brown stuff with (I think) beef, carrots, potatoes, hot dogs, and maybe something else I've forgotten. It's been three years.
You won't catch me eating any balut, though.
