Fact: As fun as it is to go on a road trip and coast through the North, the long drive’s most likely going to leave everyone famished. When that happens, it would be great to have a go-to food hub that’s not only appealing to friends and family but also very easy to find.

Our recommendation: These three new food establishments in Sandbox, located in Alviera, Porac, Pampanga. Read on to know more about them:

1. El Pedro Cubanos

The popular Cuban restaurant, which recently opened its second branch in Sandbox, offers authentic Cuban dishes that are fresh, playful, and calorie-friendly. Those who aren’t familiar with the Cuban cuisine are in for a big surprise—their sandwiches, mariquitas, tucca fritas, tamales, and empanadas are worth the long drive.
