When it comes to Lechon, one of my personal favorites is the spicy lechon of Rico's Lechon. I also loved the fact that one of their many branches is just a 3-minute drive away from our house. Recently, this favorite lechon brand opened a new branch in Mactan Promenade.  The new restaurant looks different and it is offering new tasty dishes that you rarely see in typical lechon places in Cebu.

Lechon is Cebu's pride and a lot of restaurants and stall would claim to be the best. Well, Rico's Lechon is staking its claim to the title of the best by launching a new branch and a slogan of the "Da Best Gyud!".  Mactan Promenade is a new restaurant complex near the Mactan Cebu International Airport that features some of the best local restaurant brands. The Rico's Lechon at Mactan Promenade looks so upscale thanks to interior designer Sheila Solon.

Kalami Cebu Verdict:

Rebranding is good but by offering more dishes, they are now challenging a broader but much more competitive Filipino food segment. Instead of being a specialty restaurant, Rico's Lechon in Mactan Promenade is now more of a Filipino Restaurant that serves lechon. The gamble might pay off but when I go to Rico's Lechon, I will still  just get my usual serving of lechon, dugo-dugo, and good old plain rice.  Check out their new branch in Mactan Promenade and tell me your thoughts about the new Rico's Lechon. Is it really #DaBestGyud?
