According to Elvira, the secret to her eatery’s success is her Kapampangan roots. In a report on ABS-CBN, she said, “I’m a good cook because I came from Pampanga. Pampanga is the culinary capital of the Philippines.”

She recalled her humble beginnings and shared that they started as a food truck business and then moved to a market space. Elvira is truly proud that she can make his kababayans happy through Pinoy foods.

“Me and my three sisters rented a truck. One day, good. Second day, good. Third day is very good. There were plenty of people. Then after that, we sisters bought this market space for Dollar Hits. And the Filipino people, they are happy,” she said.

Many good things await Elvira and her Dollar Hits. They now have 2 locations, Temple, LA & West Covina, and a 3rd location is opening this August 2022 in Woodside, New York. Filipino streetfoods in the “Big Apple” seems like a booming business. Another Pinoy street food stall, Boy Isaw, found huge success selling isaw in New York.
