The secret to avoid "umay" is to pair up foods with different expected tastes. My favorite combination every time I eat in Rico's Lechon consists of Baked Scallops, Lechon, and Chorizo.
The Baked Scallops' taste always surprises me because it is dependent on how the cheese, butter, and spices are mixed with the right amount of each and the right amount of time the scallops are cooked. The thrill of discovering the taste is always a good sideline when I eat the Lechon because it balances the already familiar taste. And the sweet and spicy Chorizo spikes the thrill.
I have tried three branches of Rico's Lechon, and I liked the branch in Lapu-Lapu City the best. The ambiance and interior were good. The crew was nice and attentive. Definitely a good place to bond with the whole family.
They are pricier now, the menu is not updated but the food is still worth it. The lechon was crispy and as alwasy, it tasted superb! Will always come back for family and friends gathering or just a casual eat-out.
What we had:
Quarter lechon, chicharong bulaklak, baked scallops, eggplant with egg, cucumansi, ripe mango shake
What I think:
The food quality here is not particularly different with that of the one we have near our place in Pasig. That’s not a bad thing. Good, affordable food. The service can do a bit better though.
In search for the best lechon in Cebu, we went from one place to another and Rico's was not it. I heard Rico's is so famous even amongst outside of Cebu celebrities. It doesn't have distinct flavor from other lechon brand. And that includes their dinuguan. The pancit canton was good tho and I'm happy they have bits of squid and shrimp thrown in there coz usually pancit canton has only fishballs and vegetables. The restaurant was so pretty and fancy but the price wasn't expensive. I noticed people eating there are in groups and families. Overall, its a nice dine and the food are not bad. Anyway peeps, I recommend MLB Lechon in Danao city. It's only a small place near the going to Camotes port. Their dinuguan and paklay and lechon tasted better than any of the lechon places we've been in the whole week looking. The lechons in carcar city were also a no no. Due to many competitions in the area, some served leftover lechon.
You must all try their spicy lechon plus their branded vinegar and you just can't stop eating! Cap it with their mango oreo float! 💕 Indeniably, Da best gyud!
Rico's Lechon is well known not just in Cebu but in the Philippines. They have several branches in Cebu and one is only 15 minutes away from Mactan airport. We ordered rice Lechon and baked scallops and all were delicious and reasonably priced.
Lechon is very known here in Cebu but one thing really excites me as I drop by here and see the Rico's Lechon located very near me I grabbed the chance to taste their Lechon. It's a finger-licking food! so every time I've dropped by I'll go immediately here.
For me, they have the best Cebu Lechon especially the spicy lechon! It's a finger-licking food! I love the interior of this restaurant will definitely come back here.
I'll give 5 stars and I'll highly recommend this restaurant also! Very satisfying Filipino foods. The Lechon is very crunchy and delicious we'll be back here again! Thumbs up for Rico's Lechon!!!
