    After finding out that Hoy Lechon was what my family and I was smelling from a family next to us on the beach that brought their takeout to the beach we had to give it a try! A try turned into ordering from Hey Lechon three days in a row!! This food is delicious and authentic with very unique flavors. The service is very quick and everyone working is very welcoming and friendly! You can tell they put their all into their food! 10/10 would recommend

    This is not a restaurant. This is a food truck. However, the food is better than most restaurants. Everything is cooked to order and cooked fresh. I highly recommend the chicken skewers.

    My wife and I were blown away by the food. Everyone was so friendly and attentive. The Lumpia was killer! The pork ribs were so tender and fell off the bones nice and easy. The rice... Just the rice alone is 5 stars. We both got the noodles as one of the sides, holy crap they were so good.

    We came here today for lunch and we were pleasantly surprised (although we had pretty high expectations anyway). At the recommendation of a guy we met when arriving, I ordered the Cebuchon dish. He did explain that they were out of noodles and we would have to settle for a side of rice and stir fried vegetables instead -- lemme tell you, the stir fried vegetables did not disappoint, and were one of the highlights of the meal. My gf ordered the Pinoy Kebabs (Chicken) and we split an order of the Lumpiang (Spring rolls with ground pork). The food was ready quickly and we hopped down on a curb to eat -- the guy we first met later told us we should have asked him for seating since apparently we could have eaten in the AC-laden convenience store next door. Oh well. The Cebuchon was so good. Very flavorful and super crispy, reminded me a little bit of double deep fried Korean chicken wings (Bonchon). The chicken Kebabs were also perfectly cooked and seasoned. The spring rolls remind me more of a Vietnamese crispy roll (I typically find egg rolls and spring rolls to be mostly flavorless), super flavorful and so delicious. We are here for a few more days and will probably return hungry to try a couple more of the dishes.
