Driving Thru the best Lechon in Carcar Cebu

Lechon Drive Thru in Carcar Cebu

If you're going to South, or coming from South of Cebu, you should drive thru their famous Lechon. It is located on the back portion of their Market building. My tip before you buy, ask for free taste from all stall. Don't worry some vendors there would even offer it to you before you even ask. Carcar is also famous for their chicharon, sandals and bags, and ampaw so you may want to stop by there as well.

Here are some of the photos I took while passing through Carcar Cebu;
