Keep Calm And Have Tatang’s Extra Crispy Boneless Lechon

One of the most popular dishes from the island of Cebu is the lechon. But in the last few years a new innovation was made to the world renowned Cebu lechon, the boneless lechon.

Tatang’s Extra Crispy Boneless Lechon


The first time I tasted the boneless lechon of Tatang’s Extra Crispy Boneless Lechon was when they still had a stall in Mandaue. The stall at the corner of H. Cortes Avenue and A.S. Fortuna Avenue was rather small. Their kitchen and service area took up nearly half of the space for the stall. Since I used to live at the other end of the road, it was easy for me to simply get up and take a ride to the end of the road to have a taste of their delightfully delicious boneless lechon.

The Location


They once had a branch at ground floor of Skyrise 1 at the Cebu IT Park, but it’s already closed (probably after they opened their current location). Tatang’s current location is at the corner of Wilson Street and Pasteur Street in Lahug, Cebu City. For proper perspective, it is located across Anita’s Bakeshop and close to the Original Pino Restaurant, which is a stone’s throw away from JY Square Discovery Mall.

The Boneless Lechon


Tatang’s Extra Crispy Boneless Lechon offers the best boneless lechon in town. While I tried the boneless lechon of other restos, they never seemed to come close to the distinctive flavor offered by the boneless lechon of Tatang’s, especially their spicy variant.

The extra crispy skin and juicy meat makes the boneless lechon of Tatang’s uniquely tasty. The recipe for the boneless lechon was created by the owner of the place, Lorenz Florendo. He was very meticulous when he made his boneless lechon, and his efforts did not go to waste since it became the best in the market. In fact, the boneless lechon of Tatang’s was selected as the Best Boneless Lechon Belly on the Best of Cebu list of Sun Star Weekend for 2013.

The Place


While the ground floor dining area is small, they have an air-conditioned dining area in the second floor. In the past, the place would easily get crowded especially during lunch or dinner since they only had the ground floor dining area open at that time.  For more information and delivery inquires at Tatang’s Extra Crispy Boneless Lechon, you can call them through (032)316-4719 and 0917-547-8561.
