Rico’s Lechon continues to serve the best lechon in Cebu! And you don’t have to take our word for it. As the people have chosen Rico’s as the number one lechon brand for Sunstar’s Best of Cebu 2020: People’s Choice Awards.
Rico’s Lechon was founded in 1995 and it is commonly the first name that comes to mind whenever you ask locals who have the best Lechon in the entire Queen City of the South.
And this isn’t just hearsay, as from 2014, 2016, 2017, 2019 and now 2020! Rico’s continues to prove its dedication to provide quality and excellent service to the Cebuanos.
With its soft, juicy and flavorful meat that contrasts with the very crispy skin, Rico’s Lechon is known to employ the use of merely garlic and scallions as their ingredients and infuse those flavors into the very meat of the whole roast pig.
Rico’s Lechon Innovations
But beyond taste, Rico’s Lechon is also about finding innovative ways and methods to provide the perfect dining experience for locals and tourists alike.
Rico’s Lechon is the first lechon brand to have popularized the spicy Lechon variety not just in the country but also to the world.
And with the ever growing demand for lechon, and being led by the passionate and lechon lover, George Nocom Pua (GNP) CEO of Meat Concepts Corporation.
The lechon brand has upgraded their facilities with the new and state-of-the-art commissaries in both Cebu and Metro Manila which made them able to serve an astonishing number of 1,500 lechon every 4 hours.
In addition, their first Manila branch at Bonifacio Global City (BGC) in Taguig has an exciting view of the roasting pit that’s adjacent to the restaurant.
The roasting pit has been fitted with an exhaust fan and was designed to keep the temperature consistent. This makes the customers see the mouthwatering sight of how the pigs are slowly turning into a crisp and glistening red hue.
“We really wanted people to see that we roast our Lechon on-site,” says George Nocom Pua, CEO of Meat Concept and Rico’s Lechon. So if this isn’t enough for your mouth to water then we really don’t know what will.
