The drawback is the distance from Metro Manila. However, if you’re on the road to Bicol or Sorsogon, this is a perfect stop. The crispy pata is one of the best we’ve tasted. The famous crispy pata both of Malabon (Judy Ann’s) and Navotas (Amelia’s) has a tinge of sweetness. The JIJF crispy pata has a tinge of saltiness, but not salty and not overpowering in flavor. More of a subtle blend of spices. This is crispy pata that is real crispy, you’d eat it to the bones. This is the reason why the JIJF crispy pata is sought after in this part of the Philippines.
