CARiN de RiA brings Filipino cuisine to Encinitas's Old Encinitas district at 124 West I Street, steps from the Self Realization Fellowship gardens. The kitchen centers on national Philippine dishes including sizzling sisig, adobo, lechon kawali, and lumpia alongside a catering operation, occupying a storefront adjacent to Potato Shack Cafe near Moonlight Beach. Pancit canton and kare-kare anchor a menu that covers the major Filipino culinary regions, from Visayan grilled pork belly to Luzon-style oxtail stew served with bagoong. Filipino beers and house-made halo-halo extend the beverage and dessert program beyond standard Southeast Asian offerings, adding a shaved-ice tradition shared with the mochi-based confections at Mochichis. The full menu runs from chicharon and garlic peanut appetizers through salpicao and bistek tagalog entrées, covering five distinct Filipino protein preparations across beef, pork, chicken, seafood, and tofu.
