we've eaten there many times, or more typically get take-out because the dining area is very small, often with a wait for a table, and our kids don't do great with waits (like most small little mom n' pop ethnic places, they don't take reservations).
but on the plus side, it is BYO, so it makes for a great inexpensive date night place.
i'd say the food is very good, but i don't have a ton of experience with filipino food, so my opinion may not count for much, nor can i speak to its authenticity. (4.5 stars on google, FWIW)
my wife's friend's boyfriend is filipino-american (both parents born in the philipines) and we went there with them once. he said the food was very good, though he said he prefers the food at a filipino place about a mile west of us over in albany park that we still have yet to try (so many little ethnic hole-in-the-walls around us, and so little time to try them all).
anyway, here's a link to Isla Pilipina's menu:
