LOLA LIZA FOODS: A TASTE OF THE PHILIPPINES
A single table, some stools, a shelf stocked with Filipino snacks, candies, chips; a tub of garlic chili oil sitting overtop a mini-fridge—these are the first impressions upon entering the front door of Lola Liza Foods, a Filipino street food spot on Victoria St. N. and Ahrens St. W.
Sharing a corner with Kitchener-Waterloo staple Smile Tiger Coffee Roaster’s, Jillian and Jovin Repalda opened the store front in August 2024.
“I moved to Canada from the Philippines in 2019 as an international student—the first in my family,” Jillian said.
My first time at Lola Liza, I was greeted by Jillian at the counter with a smile and a swift recommendation that I try the grilled pork belly with a side of pancit and steamed rice. She radioed my order over via walkie-talkie to Jovin who was manning the food truck as I took a stool right by the window
“Back home, there’s street vendors everywhere—I wanted to bring that experience here. When I had the idea initially, I knew that it had to be affordable like the street foods in Manila. Simple foods and snacks for the community to have, nothing formal. Just come, eat and hang out. That’s why we call ourselves a tambayan,” he said.
To my right, sat a little girl no older than five, focusing intently on her iPad game while casting occasional glances my way. A family of four sat behind us at the only table, chattering away loudly, occasionally calling on the child to have a bite of kwek-kwek.
The Pork BBQ skewers are a favourite here, grilled and marinaded with a traditional sauce of soy sauce, calamansi and other flavours. The spring rolls—veggie or pork—with a serving of pancit noodles combine well for a delicious, easy meal to either take out or eat in.
The storefront itself does not hold any cooking equipment or stovetops aside from a countertop food warmer—all the cooking is done in the food trailer sitting adjacent to the store.
“It’s very expensive to open up a full restaurant, that’s why I had the initial idea to just get a food trailer. It was hard because we didn’t know where to find or buy one! There were lots of ads we looked through. Eventually we found a used trailer in London and picked it up,” Jillian said.
The trailer now sits just outside the shop, becoming a familiar sight for anyone driving up and down Victoria S.
Jillian and Jovin moved out of Scarborough and into Cambridge in 2021, both working full time—Jovin as a production team member and Jillian as an IT consultant. At the time they were only able to open the restaurant once a week, but as the demand and number of regulars increased, they are since able to open six days a week.
“We found such a great community here, it’s very peaceful,” Jillian said.
A regular entered shortly after I did, whom Jillian greeted happily, already reciting for him his order. Sounds of chewing, the little girl kicking her legs against the stool, the muffled crackle of Jovin over the walkie-talkie, it was a beautiful sight, and already I felt the atmosphere to be exactly as Jillian had described her hopes for what Lola Liza would be: casual, informal and nothing short of welcoming.

#BorderPatrol agents jump out of rental truck and ambush people at LA #HomeDepot
In ‘Operation Trojan Horse’, masked officers in unmarked vehicle arrest 16 people, despite court order halting raids
Sam Levin in #LosAngeles
Wed 6 Aug 2025"US border patrol agents carried out a raid outside a Home Depot in Los Angeles on Wednesday, with officers jumping out of an unmarked rental truck and chasing and arresting more than a dozen people.
"Videos of the operation, and federal officials’ statements boasting about the detentions, have raised questions about whether the US government was complying with a federal court order halting indiscriminate raids in the region due to evidence of racial profiling. That ruling, upheld last week by an appeals court, followed reports of #Latino #USCitizens getting swept up in #LARaids and accounts of undocumented people being targeted based on their appearance and whether they spoke Spanish.
"Clips of the early morning raid by Home Depot in the Westlake neighborhood, near #MacArthurPark, showed masked, heavily armed officers jumping out of a yellow truck from Penske, a private rental company, and people fleeing. Day laborers often gather outside Home Depot stores looking for work and have been subject to aggressive immigration raids in southern California.
"One day-laborer present for the Wednesday raid told the Los Angeles Times that the Penske truck pulled up to the parking lot around 6.45am, with the driver telling people gathered in Spanish that he had work to offer. Someone then rolled up the back of the truck, and masked agents, including one in a cowboy hat, jumped out as people scattered, the witness said.
"The US Department of Homeland Security (DHS) said in an email that agents arrested 16 undocumented people from Guatemala, Mexico, Honduras and Nicaragua. Border patrol and DHS spokespeople did not respond to inquiries about the arrest tactics and whether agents had been targeting specific people."A spokesperson for Penske said in an email that it was aware of the videos, writing: 'Penske strictly prohibits the transportation of people in the cargo area of its vehicles under any circumstances. The company was not made aware that its trucks would be used in today’s operation and did not authorize this.' The company would reach out to #DHS to 'reinforce its policy to avoid improper use of its vehicles in the future, the statement said.
" 'It is deeply disturbing that the federal government will stoop to these levels to continue their #CampaignOfTerror against working #Angelenos,' said Jorge-Mario Cabrera, a spokesperson for the Coalition for Humane Immigrant Rights (#Chirla), a California-based group that is part of the lawsuit challenging the raids. 'These are Angelenos looking for an honest day’s living … What we see in the video looks like an assault on people’s liberties, an assault on individuals that were standing there looking for a job, and a targeted operation that was in fact lawless.'
"One witness, who is a member of the #LATenantsUnion, a grassroots advocacy group, said they were setting up a '#KnowYourRights' #CommunityDefense table when the raid began. They took video, shared with the Guardian, of a group of officers piling back into the Penske truck after making arrests.
They said they saw the officers detain #StreetVendors and #DayLaborers. 'These are people who need to make money to pay rent, who have no choice. It was really tragic that the officers came out in full force just flaunting their power and bringing another level of chaos,' said the witness, who asked to remain anonymous, fearing retribution."

"Clips of the early morning raid by Home Depot in the Westlake neighborhood, near #MacArthurPark, showed masked, heavily armed officers jumping out of a yellow truck from Penske, a private rental company, and people fleeing. Day laborers often gather outside Home Depot stores looking for work and have been subject to aggressive immigration raids in southern California.
"One day-laborer present for the Wednesday raid told the Los Angeles Times that the Penske truck pulled up to the parking lot around 6.45am, with the driver telling people gathered in Spanish that he had work to offer. Someone then rolled up the back of the truck, and masked agents, including one in a cowboy hat, jumped out as people scattered, the witness said.
"The US Department of Homeland Security (DHS) said in an email that agents arrested 16 undocumented people from Guatemala, Mexico, Honduras and Nicaragua. Border patrol and DHS spokespeople did not respond to inquiries about the arrest tactics and whether agents had been targeting specific people."A spokesperson for Penske said in an email that it was aware of the videos, writing: 'Penske strictly prohibits the transportation of people in the cargo area of its vehicles under any circumstances. The company was not made aware that its trucks would be used in today’s operation and did not authorize this.' The company would reach out to #DHS to 'reinforce its policy to avoid improper use of its vehicles in the future, the statement said.
" 'It is deeply disturbing that the federal government will stoop to these levels to continue their #CampaignOfTerror against working #Angelenos,' said Jorge-Mario Cabrera, a spokesperson for the Coalition for Humane Immigrant Rights (#Chirla), a California-based group that is part of the lawsuit challenging the raids. 'These are Angelenos looking for an honest day’s living … What we see in the video looks like an assault on people’s liberties, an assault on individuals that were standing there looking for a job, and a targeted operation that was in fact lawless.'
"One witness, who is a member of the #LATenantsUnion, a grassroots advocacy group, said they were setting up a '#KnowYourRights' #CommunityDefense table when the raid began. They took video, shared with the Guardian, of a group of officers piling back into the Penske truck after making arrests.
They said they saw the officers detain #StreetVendors and #DayLaborers. 'These are people who need to make money to pay rent, who have no choice. It was really tragic that the officers came out in full force just flaunting their power and bringing another level of chaos,' said the witness, who asked to remain anonymous, fearing retribution."

This is Alvarado Street in July 2025. This is policy failure.
