Argao, Cebu · Since 1994
Three decades
of lechon
From a single lechonero to the name Argao calls for a fiesta.
A Montejo family business
Where it began
One family,
one charcoal pit
Our story traces back to 1994, when Artemio “Temyong” Montejo began his journey as a lechonero. After years of hard work and dedication, he and his wife Perlita “Perly” Montejo officially started their own lechon business in 2014, serving classic favourites like lechon and dinuguan.
As the years passed, a new idea came from the next generation — their daughter, then a Senior High School ABM student, suggested adding food trays to the menu. That modern twist breathed new life into the business, and in 2022 it proudly became Montejo's Lechon & Food Trays — a blend of tradition, family, and fresh ideas.

What we hold to
How we cook
Slow-roasted, never rushed
Every lechon goes over charcoal the traditional way — crisp skin, tender meat, no shortcuts to hit a deadline.
Built for every occasion
Trays and packages sized to the guest count, from a 10-pax bilao to a 50-pax fiesta spread.
Proudly from Argao
A local family business in Cancainap, serving our own community's biggest celebrations.
