The branch of Rico’s Lechon in MOA is so big and spacious. Despite the weekend lunch hour, it was still easy to look for seats. The service was fast, knowing how packed the place was.
For the food…
▫️ Chicharon Bulaklak
This was super sinful yet so good. I liked how crunchy it was on the outside but super soft and juicy on the inside. It was a little salty but I think dipping it in vinegar will balance it. For me, I just ate it with rice. Haha.
▫️ Adobong Kangkong
Coming from the strong taste of chicharon bulaklak, the adobong kangkong tasted a little blander. But it was still tasty. You get more vegetables than sauce for this dish.
▫️ Lechon
Their lechon had thick cuts but the skin was not that crunchy anymore. In terms of crunchiness, I’d prefer the chicharon bulaklak over this one. The meat was very juicy also.
Spicy lechon for the win! Rico's Lechon is one of my fave restos for my lechon fix so I'm happy that they opened a new branch in MOA.
Aside from the regular menu, this branch also has new dishes (some with lechon bits), including senior pit lechon mami, lechon arrozcaldo, lechsilog (lechon, sinangag, itlog) and dinuguan at puto.
This branch is huge with 200 seats and they serve freshly cooked lechon so you're guaranteed crispy balat ng lechon. :)
There wasn't much people when we arrived on a weekday lunch so we were given a table right away. Food tastes yummy, lechon is crispy and tasty.
Tables and utensils are clean, ambiance is nice😍

Rico's Lechon finally opened their 5th branch here in SM Mall of Asia. The place is spacious, but I think their Tiendesitas branch is bigger. Service is okay. I know that day, it was super busy, but still, we were accommodated, and our concerns/requests were attended to.
Compared to other lechon, Rico's Lechon is on the salty side, and it was meaty. We were there on the soft opening and we got a chance to try their buffet. I can taste on the meat of the chicken that it has that touch of calamansi. I like their version of Monggo, it was sticky and the taste is rich. The Bloody Mary Watermelon was sweet and refreshing. Their version of mami (Senior Pit Lechon Mami) was just okay. The dessert (pandan) was sweet, milky and creamy! I like it.
Looking forward to see Rico's Lechon to open many more branches in Metro Manila. (I'll upload more photos soon).
Went here on their opening day so service quality was forgivable.
Place is a lot bigger compared to their other branches in Manila. Has two entrances, one from the seaside and one from the South Wing. Outdoor seating is also available if you want Manila bay’s fresh air 😅
Finally tried Rico’s!
Their Spicy Lechon was good, definitely try with their Garlic rice. Loved that they serve their rice on kalderos. Rice platter serves 4 pax.
Rico's lechon finally opened its door in its latest branch in mall of asia south wing of entertainment mall. Their lechon is indeed flavorful but the spicy one is more of my liking. A kilo cost 950 for the spicy variant and 900 for the original. The spicy one is not too spicy but you can feel the kick in every bite. This one also has a less saltier taste compared to the original. I was able to try their monggo which sounds ordinary but they cooked it well, it was flavorful too. Sweet and sour is one of my all time favorite dish thus no wonder their lechon fingers in sweet and sour sauce was a hit for me. Surprisingly their fried chicken is also good, crunchy and the coating was flavorful. I was able to enjoy their pandan in tapioca for dessert. I had two cups of this, it was that good! They cooked their tapioca well giving it a very nice texture that you keep wanting for more. Yummy!

The famous Rico's Lechon of Cebu continues to expand its operations here in Manila. The soft opening of Mall of Asia yesterday marks their 5th store already since opening just mid last year.
The MOA branch, which provides an al fresco dining with a bay view and 200 seating capacity, also unveiled new items that they believe will strengthen the brands positioning as more than your Lechon Cebu destination.
On top of a lengthy menu of familiar Filipino dishes, they added Sinigang Boneless Bangus, Sizzling Chicken Steak, classic Tortang Talong with Lechon, their own blend of crispy Fried Chicken and the Lechon fingers with sweet and sour sauce. On drinks, Rico's got you Mocha, Cookies and Cream, Fruity Strawberry, Bloody Watermelon, and Pinoy fave, Sago at Gulaman.
If you're coming in the afternoon, they got you covered as well. Now you can Lechon Mami, Lechon Arrozcaldo, Lechsilog (lechon, sinangag, at itlog), and Diniguan at Puto.
Among the favorites from yesterday's feast was of course the tasty Lechon Cebu paired with their own vinegar mixture, Monggo and the newcomer, Chicken Steak with gravy.
So what are you waiting for? You can find them or smell their Lechon Cebu all the way at the back of Mall of Asia, Seaside Boulevard at the ground floor.
I was there during its Soft Opening on February 14. It has 200 seating capacity which is very spacious. They launched a new Fried Chicken and Bloody Mary Watermelon shake and these were so good! Their classics are still awesome, especially the Cebu Lechon. Has Alfresco Dining for customers who want to witness the famous Manila Bay Sunset.
