Looking back now, it seemed like an impossible task. To become the leading lechon dealer in the country today is no walk in the park. As we always say, it’s all a mixture of “sipag, tiyaga, tipid, lakas ng loob, swerte, at tiwala sa Diyos.”

MILA’S LECHON started in the late 60’s, when hardworking couple Serafin and Antonina Cesario decided to make a living out of selling lechon in La Loma. It was nothing more but a means to support their corn and sari-sari store income. They had no idea then how much this new venture would affect not only their lives, but the Filipino taste as well.

Aling Nena was fond of naming all their business endeavors after her children. In 1966, when Aling Nena’s youngest daughter Milagros was born, they decided to name the lechon business “Mila’s” after her.

Years later, the struggling business they have nurtured from infancy has now grown into a major industry which many tried to rival. From the small La Loma kiosk, Mila’s has given birth to 8 more branches in Quezon City, and can cater to deliveries not only throughout Metro Manila, but to provinces as far Ilocos, Baguio, and Quezon.

Mila’s Lechon & Restaurant was primarily engaged in selling that crispy, sumptuous, juicy tender native lechon pork that lasts longer. We later ventured to cooking the best roasted calf in town, with its very tender meat that is marinated with different spices and wines, which makes it mouthwatering, coupled with an original lechon baka gravy. To guarantee quality, we undertook breeding our own native hogs so to ensure that they are raised for one purpose alone — to provide you with the best lechon specimen.

Mila’s Lechon has been a consistent awardee as Best Lechon Maker since 1972 a testimony, no doubt, to our commitment to quality and excellence.
