Arguably the tastiest lechon in cebu! Best eaten on site! Place is a bit noisy, shouting kids can be heard across the hall due to the acoustics of the place.

Lechon and other food here are good in taste. Ps. We just didn't like the dinuguan that we ordered because it has almost no whole meat in it..

The food tastes delicious and the place is clean but some of the staff are all standing idly even though we asked for an order multiple times

Best lechon we had in cebu. We tried the other two famous lechon houses and this one tops the list. Crispy skin, soft and balanced tasting meat, with the right amount of spice for a spicy lechon. So good. Tried their ulams too, and also yum. Service was also really fast. We went on a weekday lunchtime but the place wasn't that full so we had our food served real fast. Staff were accommodating and the price is at par with the amount of serving and taste.
