This entire meal is $10?!?! It's so much food. I got the lechon regular plate and the outside is sooo crispy I'm actually crunching into it really slowly. They're super friendly and there isn't much of a line.

I've seen peoples post about this wagon & my fiancé also told me that they ate here for lunch. We were both off for week & my fiancé said it's hella good. I went on a Tuesday because it said they were gonna be open on the 24th but when I pulled up to the wagon it said the 26.FOOD: To be honest the plates prices aren't that bad at all. It's 1 choice for $10 or 2 choice for $15. We got the Lechon plate & the Lechon with salmon. When I tell you the plate it WORTH IT. The portion is good. We both didn't finish our plates in one sitting.Duuuuuuuude. I went when the just open at 1030 & I do recommend to go when they first open because the food is hella soft & Lechon is crispy. DO BRING AN UMBRELLA. Super sunny & I was burning waiting in line. I did have my cousin tell me she didn't really like it but she went a little to get it. It does make a difference on the time you get it.PARKING: The parking SUCKS. The wagon is on I believe ace hardware lot & you have to find street parking BUT with all the workers in the area. Parking is hard. I did have to park in a drive way that seemed like no one was going in & out. Wish they had more parking. Or just bring someone with you while one grabs the food & the other drive around or pull to the side till you get busted or something hahahaWould I come back? Of course I would come back & also tell my family & friends to check out this wagon.

You know this wagon is bomb when there's a long line way before lunch time & they sell out of items fast. If you're looking for their wagon, just look out for the all blue truck in Mapunapuna, you can't miss it! And just remember to bring cash with you because it's cash only.My coworker and I were drooling just thinking about their famous lechon while we waited in the hot sun. We were so lucky because when it was our turn, we were told that there was only a few orders left of the lechon. We got our plates and headed back to the office to enjoy. I was so excited that I completely forgot to take a picture of my food *insert sad crying emoji here. Anyways, the plate comes with two scoops rice & huge meaty chunks of lechon. The skin could be a little more crunchy but the meat park was so most and hearty. Every bite was so good and flavorful!The workers (not sure if that was the owners?) were so nice and they were working so hard in there trying to get plates ready and phone call orders. If you haven't tried them yet, I definitely suggest you go ASAP and give them a try! You won't regret it.

First you need to find street parking which is hard. If you can take someone with you this would be helpful.One can stay in the carOne can grab the platesThe lechón is sooo good and tasty!I also tried there adobo ribs! and it was yummy!

They have the Best Lechon on this side of the island in my opinion is right here at the Lechon King Food Truck right here in Mapunapuna. Don’t pass up the Pork Rib Adobo as well especially when it’s dry like that. For $13 you cannot go wrong, the price is right. Better come early because within the first hour if not less than that, the Lechon here is all gone. The Lechon King reigns supreme and for just $10 bucks for the Lechon Plate alone is the reason why they come here.

I'n my opinion, Lechon King serve one of the best Lechon on this side of the island. The pork is juicy and flavorful. You can definitely taste the spices. The Pork Rib Adobo is not too bad either. For $13 bucks you cannot go wrong with that. But better go early, or else the Lechon here is all gone. And for $10 bucks for the Lechon Plate, that's a deal!

Pros: if u are in the area, good value pick, $10 for a lechon plate with a good helping of nicely crisp skin pork belly served resting on herbs, not sure what herb but kinda woodsy and fragrant. Cons: difficult to find parking, rice is mush like mashed potato. one might assume cheapest rice possible, but more to the point, was this rice soaked in water overnight? 24 hour soak on this rice? jesus. also it's a quite heavy dish on it's own, unfortunately no tomato, onion, and maybe most importantly no vinegar to help step on this pure raw pork fattiness. i would recommend taking this home and eating it with your own rice and improvised veges if possible..

They really have a following here. They been here for a while now. Lots of great find around this area. Basically blink or make a turn and you'll miss a good hole in the wall spot etc.Always try to get here before they open or chances it'll be sold out within the hour of opening.Great lechon for an unbeatable price, all their offerings are great.Lechon is wrapped style with lemon grass/rosemary if I'm not mistaken so a little tasty herb flavor. I never eat all and save the other half to stir fry it later lol.

Saw a tip to come early and so we did...or at least I thought it was early enough since I got there at the listed opening time of 11am. Turns out there was a long line for some time. Perhaps since 10:30 since I saw another review state they actually open at 10:30am. By the time I got to the front of the line, 30 minutes in the sun had passed and they ran out of Furikake Salmon. Saw Uncle pull up the sign and wipe it off the menu board. We all at the front of the line gave a big sigh. The guy in front of me ordered a lechon roll. Yes, you read that right. Lechon ROLL. We all at the front of the line gave a big "Ooh!!" Overheard the price to be $80 or $100 for the roll. We all watched Auntie place the sparkling roll onto a pan for her customer. I ordered the Lechon Plate and the Pork Rib Adobo. They are both so enriched in flavor! And that lechon skin has such a nice shine and crunch to it. Take up on those pro tips you see here. I'm glad I did. Plan to come early and be aware that there is street parking but it's rare. Might be good to do the food buddy system - someone drive and someone else grabs the food. If I were to add another tip, dress comfortably because it can get hot even on a windy day. There is no shade to wait in line so maybe even sunscreen or a hat to protect your skin.

Somehow I stumbled across their IG page and I was drooling. Lechon (roasted pig) is one of my favorite Filipino foods, so it was just a matter of time before I checked them out.They have a bright blue food truck in the industrial area on Mapunapuna St. You can't miss them due to the long line! Parking is super tough to find, so get there early. They open at 10:30am (not 11am) and I hear that they often sell out early.They have a very simple menu with about 5-6 items to choose from. I forgot my phone in the car so I didn't get a photo of the menu, but basically a Regular plate (1 item) is $10 and a Combo plate (2 items) is $13. Yes, you read that correctly! I couldn't believe how cheap it was!I ordered the Combo plate and selected the lechon and furikake salmon. It came with 2 big scoops of rice. The lechon was massive! The crackling, crispy skin had that shiny glass look. The pork itself was super tender and juicy, but it's not prepared the way I typically like it. I actually prefer Lechon Kawali, which is deep fried in a wok (not roasted) and seasoned then cubed. It often comes with tomatoes & onions. This was just the lechon itself. The furikake salmon was absolutely delicious! I still can't believe I got all of this for just $13.The owners are a husband and wife team who are the sweetest people you could ever meet. Definitely drop a tip in their jar, as they work really hard to provide a great product at a reasonable price!

Good price for great lechon. But gotta remember to bring cash. Also make sure they don't run out on you.
