My dream, my American dream,&quot; Chan said. </p><p>The Kapampangan siblings dedicate their restaurant to Boy Franco, a brother they lost to COVID-19. </p><p>&quot;Buwisit na pandemic &#x27;yan, kaya nawala ang kuya ko. I love you! Continue guiding us, continue guiding Dollar Hits!&quot; said Deguia. </p><p>Dollar Hits offers 33 kinds of skewered yumminess, so there&#x27;s something for everyone to pick and grill on their own. Opening day customers include Philippine consul general Elmer Cato.</p><p>Filipino residents say they need not go far for their street food fix as Dollar Hits is perfectly located in Little Manila. </p><p>&quot;Very, very convenient... I&#x27;ve been here in this neighborhood for 20 years, so I&#x27;m very happy!&quot; said Little Manila resident Marlyn Manzano. </p><p>When Dollar Hits first opened in 2013, each skewer costs just $1. In New York, the owners had to raise their price to $1.50 to cope with inflation and high gas prices. </p><p>&quot;Sa gasolina talaga ang naging problema kaya tumaas masyado. Pero affordable pa ho &#x27;yun, mura pa rin ho &#x27;yun,&quot; Chan said. </p><p>The three sisters believe that the success of Dollar Hits can be attributed to two big factors -- the sumptuous flavors of their skewers combined with its affordability. </p><p>Related video:</p><figure class="op-interactive"><iframe height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/TX5fQt3xOss?enablejsapi=1" width="560"></iframe></figure><div class="iwantbar">Watch more News on <a href="https://www.iwanttfc.com/#!/browse/Genres/News/tag_id_genres/id_news" target="_blank">iWantTFC</a></div>
