Tastebuds Lechon

Tastebuds Cuisine has earned legendary status as the only Filipino restaurant in the Bay Area providing whole roasted lechon in multiple sizes and seasonings, oven-roasting 20 to 30 pigs weekly. Featured on SF Weekly's top 50 food list, Tastebuds has become the go-to lechon supplier for Filipino-American weddings and celebrations throughout the Bay Area, with many event venues specifically requesting their lechon. The restaurant offers lechon by the pound starting at around thirteen dollars, with sizes ranging from 15-pound suckling pigs to 70-pound adults available for large gatherings. Tastebuds serves different lechon variations throughout the week including lechon paella stuffed with rice on Wednesdays and lechon cebu perfumed with lemongrass on Fridays and Saturdays. The secret to their legendary status lies in the skin - ruddy, translucent, simultaneously crunchy and chewy, moistened by a thin layer of fat with texture impossible to replicate at home. Beyond their famous lechon, Tastebuds offers complete Filipino meals including sisig, kare kare, lumpia, pancit, and adobo for dine-in or takeout. The restaurant provides full-service catering, partial service, and party trays for events of all sizes. Operating since 2007, Tastebuds has built an unmatched reputation for quality lechon that Filipino-Americans trust for their most important celebrations. The San Bruno location serves the South Bay's substantial Filipino population while attracting lechon enthusiasts from throughout Northern California.
