Come here if you want to satisfy your lechon craving. A combo with 2 sides and rice cost about $10.Lechon over rice is $11.Think of them like Filipino Panda Express where you can pick out your sides and have it with rice. They also have a generous box of pancit and palabok! I'll be trying that next time.

I love coming to lechon manila simply for one of their offerings: roast lechon. Growing up eating roast lechon at parties, I always hit a bit of a craving for the crispy skin that kawali just doesn't hit the spot for--and lechon manila is one of the only spots I know of that will sell roast lechon by the pound. For just 2 people, buying a whole roast pig just isn't a financially sound investment, so coming here is a great choice. Lechon Manila is located directly next to SK donut in the Alvarado Place strip mall. (I always find myself ordering a dozen cronut holes as a reward for making the trip out here). Its very easy to find parking, since the shared parking lot is huge and usually not packed. Upon entering, you'll find a pretty traditional cafeteria-style restaurant, as most surrounding Filipino restaurants are organized. Lines vary by time of day, usually around 10-11AM the line will be out the door, later in the day -- when most of the dishes are beginning to run low the lines are shorter. You'll want to come early if you want really crispy and juicy roast lechon. Be sure to eat it quickly, because lechon does tend to get a bit hard and chewy if it gets cold/steams up. Roast Lechon: This is my favorite dish here, and one of the sole reasons I come to the restaurant. Most of the time, when I order 3-4LB trays of lechon I'd say 85% of the skin is crispy like a potato chip, and the rest is really crunchy, like chicharon. If you come later in the day, you may get a bit of the harder crunchy skin -- just be sure to come early!Sisig: This is one of those dishes that thrives really great at lechon restaurants. I love sisig when its super crispy and packed with tangy/spicy flavors. Definitely a dish you won't want to miss from here.

You are going to be welcomed with a warm smile from people working , a line of people waiting to have their orders and few Lechon's on tables waiting to be picked up. Overall, experience was decent. Would be going back to try their lechon sisig.

Plenty of parking around the restaurant and the visibility of the sign is great for spotting it from a distance with it's bright yellow coloring to differentiate from the neighboring restaurants. Upon walking in, the ambiance is underwhelming; nothing really stood out here and gave the impression of a no-nonsense eatery where the food is the prize. There were plenty of tables and chairs which were full sized and comfortable to sit in. The ordering process can be cafeteria-style-like where there are multiple dishes of quality cuisines displayed behind a glare-prone glass. I will have to come back to try more dishes here to give this establishment a fair assessment but for now the rating is based off of the food, service and ambiance I experienced today. I did not know what to call the dishes before me as there were no name tags, so I proceeded to order their "Lechon Over Rice" which seemed to be what the restaurant is pushing to be what they should be known for. The lady in the front was very kind and welcoming to receive my order. The wait was minimal. The Lechon did not melt in my mouth and was fairly average where taste is considered. The skin pieces were very firm and crispy. I was disappointed the rice was not garlic rice as I have had this combination before from a food truck which even added an egg on top of the rice. The sauce was a very mild and sweet compliment to the dish and was absolutely necessary to enjoy this dish. Overall satisfied but not super impressed. Would I comer here to try their other options? Absolutely! Would I get the Lechon over rice again? Probably not.

Had a great Sunday lunch. The food tasted great, and it was a lot for the price. Will definitely come back for more.
The best place to come if you are craving for a crunchy lechon meal. They serve it 24/7 during store hours of course. Their meal selections offer various Filipino food and meriendas. Whether dine in or take out too, you can surely enjoy your delicious meal.

Kuya was very honest about the lechon not being crunchy anymore since I came in late in the day. He suggested instead to get the lechon kawali which turned out to be very good and crunchy! I also order binagoongan which was pretty good too, I had to keep adding rice. I like how its set up like a karenderia where you can just point to what you want. I love that they have value meals which is very budget friendly!

I rarely find a decent lechon kawali. Dare I say it? Their's was the best I've ever had. Lovely puffy, crispy skin and tender fat and meat. Many places make their mung bean soup pretty plain, but their's was loaded with other veggies. Meal was also reasonably priced. Only drawback was that water to drink wasn't available.I'm definitely coming back to try their other offerings.
