Reviews for Markjoels BBQ in Calgary, AB
Out of all the pieces of roasted pork I got today, I have only 1 piece that has crispy pork skin. Not only that, but after... weighing the whole order half my orders weight was bones(not even cartilidge). These guys are gross af. DO NOT ORDER FROM THESEGUYS. IT IS AN ABSOLUTE RIP OFF. Rolyme, up in the NE do a really good job. You get alot of meat and protein, AND YOU AT LEASTGET THE CRIPSY PORK SKIN THAT YOU EXPECT. MARKJOELS? DISGUSTING. Their roast pork is garbage. I don't recommend these guys toanyone. Read more
The baboy lechon is usually good, moist and hints of lemongrass with crispy skin. It is 35$ a kg which is a little pricey. The... pig head is 28$ , unfortunately you cannot get only head/face meat. All in all it is good but pricey Read more
If you are looking for a "lechon" ready to eat this is the place, authentic Philippines style l. We really like it.
Be Aware before buying a whole lechon. I ordered a whole lechon on Dec. 24, 2018 (Inside Hongkong Supermarket) for $245 they say... its big for about 20 kilos. But when we opened the box inside is lechon de leche and already stale and started to rot. Oh mygod, the taste is so bad. I complained and the guy named Eldrin, and he told us he will give us another lechon de leche which isnewly cooked we accept the bargain since we do not have any choice. I am not reconmending Mark Joel, just a waste of money. Ifyou are planning to buy a whole lechon I suggest you checked the store beside Lucky Supermarket on the 8th Ave. SE, their wholelechon there taste great!! Read more
We ordered large lechon today, but was very dis appointed on the taste its bland and dry. Sauce is not traditional taste more... like cornstarch or flour mix with vinegar. I will never buy again from them. What a waste of money. Large size that that lookslike a small or medium. If you have other place your better of with them. Read more
BE READY TO SEE THE SEXIEST LECHON EVER We got the large size one and had high expectations since we usually order lechon from... them but only in small orders. So, we tried ordering a whole roasted pig but unfortunately, we were very disappointed. Thelechon had very little, if not none, meat. Plus, it seemed like it was overcooked. Overall, NOT HAPPY WITH THIS AT ALL. PS. Ifonly I can give 0 as a rating, I will. Read more
We order the 20 kilos (the smallest) but its smaller than we expected. They used a baby pig. The lechon is also smaller in the... belly part, they took off the belly from the lechon! Its just the ribs part that was left. They probably took off the belly partso they could sell it from there store. If you want better quality lechon dont buy from this store. Read more
This ain?t it. No flavor, dry, not crispy.
