Sally’s Lechon & Bbq

This place is a joke. I called to order an extra large lechon $ 300 one week in advance. They ask for a down payment. I go over there to pay and can’t find parking in the tiny parking lot. I park on the side street and walk. Finally I get to this hole in the wall restaurant and the cashier is in the kitchen staring at me for a good 5 minutes before she asks how she can help. I tell her about my pre-​order and that I’m here to pay. I tell her that I want to pay the whole thing today and would like to use my card. She says they charge. I ask how much. She says $ 3.00. I said that’s fine. They she interjects and says $ 3.00 for every $ 100 you spend. Are you freaking kidding me? You want to charge me $ 9.00 for a $ 300 plus tax purchase? Absurd! That’s highway robbery! I walked right out of there before this crazy old woman could even blink. That’s their bad. They lost $ 300 in business thanks to that greedy old woman. Never again!

If only I can put no stars on this review, I would…
They have the worst customer service! Few weeks ago, my sister ordered lechon from them but few days before the event, we had to cancel the order but too bad they already paid in full so they told us there’s no refund… Ahh hello? They haven’t even ordered d pig yet and it’s still a week before the party. We’re guessing that since they already have d money, there’s no way they’d bring it back. We had no choice but to get d lechon from them. Infairness to them, the lechon that they gave us tasted good so we decided to order one again for another party today but wait until you hear this horrible story…
My sister n her hubby were supposed to pick it up at 1:30pm since their party is at 3:30pm, they waited for 30mins for the lechon. When we opened it, d skin is burned and not crunchy at all. I don’t even think it’s edible! When my dad started chopping it, d pig is so skinny that all u can see is d ribs! He even saw small intestines and d kidney of d pig, meaning, it wasn’t cleaned properly! Nasty!!! We called them to complain but they even accused us that we might have exchanged it and They just hung up on us. That’s when I was so pissed, I drove back to return it and d «lady» said it was well done and didn’t even bother checking n gave us d refund, not even an apology!!! Good thing she gave back d money or else, I’ll ask her to finish it! I’m so mad for all d hassle we have to go through. No food to serve at d party and we were even late and panicking to order for more food! Never will we come back! Rude people. We could’ve understood if they apologized and explained what really happened instead of being arrogant. We’re d customers and we paid, we deserve what was promised.

A great place to get lechon in the San Fernando Valley! The only reason that I’m not giving 5 stars is because we ordered it to be completed at 5 o’clock and it was 30 minutes late. But aside from that it was a perfectly done lechon. The skin was super crispy deliciousness and the meat was well seasoned and cooked all the way through but still moist. I definitely recommend this spot over Toto’s Lechon. *we ordered one from here several years ago and it was not as good as Sally’s”

I ordered a large lechon 2 years ago and I recalled a pretty good experience but the pig was pale. I also ordered the sweet and sour filet of fish which was mediocre and adobo squid which my guests hated because the squid was improperly cleaned. The innards were not taken out before it was cooked. It made the dish really fishy. After picking it up I did found out that the pig is roasted in a large oven at the premises. I guess it might have needed a little bit more time in the oven. Recently a friend had a party and ordered the lechon from Sally’s, we were not sure what happened but a couple hours later the skin of the pig became rubbery. I am not sure if it was the intense heat in the desert that did it but no one wanted to eat the rubbery skin which is actually the reason why you have a roasted pig at your party. Anyhow I tasted their turon and it was to die for. I absolutely love it. The turon alone deserves an additional star to this review.

And another one for my people…

this little place located in a mini mall of variety in the heart of panorama city. mini mall containing a nail spa, a car parts shop and a smoke shop. Panorama city is where you can find all the filpino places (some FYI) such as Sally’s, Pinoy Pinay, Jolibee, Kalesa grill, Chow King…
Let’s just say your lipid level rises as you say the name cause this place is a cholesterol raiser!!!
This place is okay. it’s not bad, not great but just okay. My mom uses this place for when we have party’s and they cater for us. They do it @ a fairly good price at that 300 for big trays of entrees. and if we don’t go there for some party reasons, we pick up some good ol fried goodies! it’s like heart attack central from the fried chicken skin, to the fried squid, to the fried pork intestines to the fried bananas. did i mention, they have fried food? lol.
well say it ain’t so but this fat fatty right here goes here whenever she’s getting the nails did and pampering herself.
yes, its fried and i love it. i loved the greasy golden goodness it is. the fried chicken skin, (beats me buying church’s across the street and wasting the chicken meat and just eating the skin) and the sweet fried bananas. INCREDIBLE… or like my dad would say — in-​KRed-​Able and it’s soo YAMMY YAMMY. these treats are bad to the bone baby! and i could eat them whenever i get dumped by a guy, get a bad grade or just wanna devour in some greasiness hahah.
check it out people and show my Filipino home grown businesses some looooooooooooove.
btw, doesn;t look that visually appealing but it’s okay just stare into the fried chicken skin to the right when entering and focus…
price is good
people are nice
food is delicious (even the ones that are not fried lol)
