Pepita's Kitchen

I passed by this spot and the Lechon & truffled rice really looked good, so I ordered that along with their lechon lumpia. The pork pieces were cooked perfectly and the rice was probably the best part of the dish. Overall it was really delicious and the lumpia pieces were classic Filipino apps! Don’t forget to get the lechon sauce! I’d definitely come back to get the lechon & truffled rice again! Customer service is close to non existent with the way the self service works.

For all the Lechon Lovers out there—— Look no further and prepare your taste buds to the phenomenal roasted pig at Pepita’s Kitchen! The aromatic, savory, and crispy-licious texture of their freshly made lechon will definitely remind you of traditional fiestas back home in the Philippines. This seriously made my trip to the newly opened Resorts World Hotel worthwhile.

Drove all the way from LA salivating on Pepita’s Lechon. Thank God I was not disappointed because finally I got to taste it with the famous truffle rice and the Sisig Panini was incredibly delicious!!! Please please open in LA!!!😃 For people who love culinary food and understand how tedious it is to prepare this dishes, I guarantee you it’s value for your money! Can’t wait to try additional dishes to their menu. Congrats again Pepita’s lechon, more power to you!!! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 #proudfilipino

This Lechon & Truffled Rice is SO…Good!! Fire roasted pork, shitake stirred rice with truffle oil and super crispy pork skin! in Filipino style，the truffle oil mixes with the shitake made the rice smells so good! You can just eat the rice without the meat, but the pork skin with salt and pepper on the top is a must to eat with the rice!

I’m sad that this place doesnt have a higher rating because while I can admit that it is definitely a bit steep in price, the quality is certainly there. $19 -- Lechon & Truffled Rice was absolutely one of the best dishes I had all weekend. This is definitely a dish that makes my Filipino heart so happy and the rice was just so flavorful. I love that they had different bits of the lechon in there and even included the crispy skin. The only gripe I have is that they didn't have any other sauce than sriracha... what's a girl gotta do to get some Mang Tomas?! I will say that the pork is a bit on the drier side hence the desire for sauces. I hope you’re taking notes, de la Fuente, because this will definitely make a world of difference! (10/100—2022)

It is expensive and the truffle rice with the lechon was just ok. Lechon was ok nothing special. No sauce either. If your hungry it will satisfy you. The sisig sandwich is good.

Very disappointed. Very expensive $50.00 + for a plate of lechon with a small piece of fried pork skin, one panini lechon sisig, and a coke. Oh by the way, you have to pay for the lechon sauce. Sorry to say but……We are never go back to you Pepita’s Kitchen.

My only complaint is that I spent over $5 on a bottle of water here because they don’t have water cups. 😂 other than that this place was amazing. I ordered the duck noodle soup. It was amazing! And so filling. I grabbed it on the way to Zouk nightclub - wasn’t expecting such a dish from an unassuming fast casual spot in the middle of the hotel.

I'm crazy about lumpia and I was so excited to find this place to order some. The lumpia was flavorful and very crispy. I also really enjoyed the sauce they serve with it.

I got this for dinner and it was good! My only complaint is I wish there was more crispy skin in my order. * Lechon & Truffled Rice: Fire Roasted Pork, Shitake & Truffle Rice, Crispy Skin with Lechon Sauce $21.75 A bunch of ordering stations with various food options where you place your order, pay and input your phone number so you'll get a text when the food is ready for pickup.

The first time I visited Pepita's, they were unorganized, and the food were little portions. Well, I'm glad I gave them another try. Food: Lechon with Truffle Rice Lechon Lumpia The food is delicious, and the portions are bigger. Yay!! I'll return again.

Landed in pretty late and check-in took forever so not many places were open in the Famous Foods Street Eats Hall, so we had to order from Pepitas. When the food was ready, I wasn't too impressed. The SPAM & EGG SANDWHICH was a complete joke. For nearly $9 (and a service fee) you get the equivalent of a prison meal. I beg you, please don't order this. The EGG NOODLE SOUP W/ CHAR SIU was decent and you did get a good amount of char siu. The broth wasn't salty (a good thing), but I do wish there was just a little bit more noodle in it. The KONLO CHAR SIU EGG NOODLE was the one dish I could recommend. It was tasty, even with it being a dry noodle dish, but just like the egg noodle soup; I just wish there was more noodle in the dish. Overall, I don't think I'll be trying this stall out again when there are so many others within the food hall. I'll just be sure to go there during normal operating hours.

This is a section in the food court in Resorts World where you order at a kiosk. My friend and I were craving a quick snack and love lumpia so we decided to share this side order. It took a little longer than expected for something fried, but it came out hot, very crispy, and just what were looking for. Will have to try this again for their other menu items!

Yelp Review 2023 #114: Pepita's Kitchen in Las Vegas inside Resorts World's Famous Foods Street Eats is the second location of Dedet De La Fuente aka "Lechon Diva". The first one is in the Philippines. I've been to their Las Vegas location twice since they opened in 2021. Resorts World's set up isn't the best. Although the food hall Pepita's is located at isn't too far from the hotel's main entrance, it's still quite a trek from the parking lot especially using the uncovered path to get to the hotel. Pepita's Kitchen has an extremely simple menu consisting of only two items: Lechon with Truffled Rice, and Sisig Panini. Having a limited menu isn't a bad thing. Sometimes, it's even better so the kitchen can just focus on a few things and make them well. Lechon with Truffled Rice: I feel like this is Southeast Asian portions but with the price tag of New York City. For $19 you get 2 half cup scoops of truffle rice, 2oz of lechon meat and maybe 4"x4" of lechon skin. You want sauce? Pay extra for it. Although I love the flavors of this dish, you're better off taking this to-go so you can crisp up the lechon skin in the air fryer and grab the Mang Tomas from the pantry. Lechon skin is meant to be obnoxiously crunchy. 3/5 Sisig Panini: Sisig with calamansi aioli, pickled vegetables, lettuce, provolone cheese on ciabatta. Sisig is traditionally eaten as a drinking snack (pulutan) or you can eat it with rice as a meal. Never have I ever imagined to make a sandwich out of sisig. But this panini works! 3/5 I feel like there's a noticeable disconnect in terms of the quality and price of the food of Pepita's in Las Vegas vs the one in the Philippines. The Vegas location needs put more TLC and pride in their only 2 menu items.

Who knew lechon and truffle fried rice would go together?! It was so freakin' delicious. They give so much rice and meat along with crispy lechon skin!!! It's great to have this deliciousness whether you're hungover or sober. We take a cab here each time we're in town. So worth it!

I was skeptical about the food here, but they were decent. Lechon and truffle rice ($21.75): the pork was tender and seasoned, 7.5/10 rating. The truffle rice was mushy but full flavored with garlic, onions, and savory flavor from chicken broth? The truffle flavor was suttle, 8/10. The food was ready within 3 minutes from ordering.

Needed a quite bite at resort world. It was the most unique looking item so I said why not? Well, it was pretty expensive, and very very salty. We couldn't finish our meal because of how salty it was. Especially the fried pork skin, we couldn't finish it. The fried rice was ok, but not amazing. Can't recommend this place overall, but it was convenient.

I was super excited to find a Filipino food at the food court at Resort World. The ordering & payment are done via tablet and it will send a text when the food is ready. I was attracted to their lechon (suckling pig) display so I ordered Lechon & truffled rice. After about 10mins, I got a text that my food is ready. When I got my plate, I was a bit disappointed of the portion. For $20, the portion was small. The truffle rice was ok since the truffle taste was a bit weak - could have add more truffle oil. The meat was tender & tasty. The skin was crispy but I wish they gave bigger piece. Why such a high rating? We tried almost all the food vendor in the food court and all agreed that the lechon & truffled rice was the best food there. In fact, we went back the next day to order it again. I docked a star since the portion was small for the price.

Friends had mentioned I had to try Pepitas Kitchen. A little skeptical after reading the 2 star reviews but I'm always down to support Filipino businesses. Pepitas has only 2 items on the menu which is thier crispy lechon and sisig panini. Shanghai lumpia is offered as well as a side. The way you order is through a kiosk and they text you when your order is ready. So I went with the lechon over truffle fried garlic rice. Truffle is amazing on anything and over fried rice made it a plus, however some pieces of my lechon was cold. Mang Tomas was not included in my to go box on top of being a tad bit pricey.

Instantly drawn into this because of the suckling pig display (Lechon) because why not. I haven't had Filipino food before so I was surprised by how tasty it was. I ordered the Lechon and truffle rice. As many imply, the portions are small, but it's almost worth it because of how heavy the meal can be. Overall pretty good.

It is expensive at ~$22 but my god does it have me on a chokehold lol We were in Vegas for 3 nights and I had their Lechon Plate twice I love the lechon, the crispy skin that they include, and most especially the truffle fried rice! It might not be everyone's cup of tea but I definitely enjoyed it both times.

Hate to say it but this place was such a disappointment. I really wanted to love this place for personal bias, but the food was a complete miss. First off let me say the Resorts world food court was really impressive and had an innovative ordering system with plentiful touch pads. Would definitely come back to try other places! I ordered the lechon & truffled rice. The rice was seasoned way too much and the salt level ruined the meal. The lechon was dry and they charged extra for the sauce which sucks. The lechon skin didn't taste authentic, almost like it was cooked/fried separately. Really liked that they had a Filipino option at this food court, but this meal was a let down. My group ordered from separate places and their orders were all impressive though. Loved this food court, but this place is a skip for me.

I was really looking forward to this as it is hard to get Filipino food where I live. I would say this sandwich was OK but definitely not something I would order again. The food court in Resorts World looks amazing but has been disappointing in my view.

One of my favorite places to eat in the casino. I loved every bite! Although it is a bit pricey, the food is worth it and I usually scarf the meal down quickly. The service is quick since you use a touch screen to order.

Visited Resorts World and found this in the Famous Food area. You can order your food at any kiosk. That is, if the computer was working. When I was there only 1 one was working and people were scrambling to get them rebooted. Now the food review. The lumpia was nothing to write home about. It was decent. But I've had better. The lechon and truffle fried rice is something to write home about. Lechon was not dry and not salty. It was very delicious. But the star of the plate was the truffle fried rice. Yummmyyy!!

If you like cold swine, this is your spot. The super rude staff, they ignored me and they also treated me awful not worth your $19.98 I was not being mean to them completely normal just asking them if I can buy more stuff she ignored me this Mexican lady there was also an Asian guy was talking to him he was Super rude didn't answer when I was talking to him. Message for management you need to train your employees there poorly trained and The flavor of food was pretty horrible!!! You also might need a new chef

I'm sad that this place doesnt have a higher rating because while I can admit that it is definitely a bit steep in price, the quality is certainly there. $19 -- Lechon & Truffled Rice was absolutely one of the best dishes I had all weekend.

Located at the new Resorts World Famous Foods food court. I came at a good time. Not as chaotic as the last time. Lots of seating and barely any wait time. I knew what I wanted and it was a short wait before my order was ready. Got to chat with the nice workers this time. I came to support because I luv the story. Shout out to whoever was involved in making Pepitas Kitchen a reality at Resorts World. Not only is it sharing delicious foods it's also sharing our culture and being represented and seen. As a traveler it does make a difference and I appreciate this. I wanted to try the lechon so that is what I ordered. I watched them carve the pork and plate it with truffled rice and crispy pork skin that stayed crispy. I came prepared so once I got it I had my sauce and enjoyed this tasty roasted piggy with truffled rice. One order is good for one person. Mel M Yelp 21:45

Ordering was very fast and convenient. There are lots of kiosks screens in the food court. I got my order fast. I ordered the lechon plate. It comes with two scoop of rice. It was delicious. They gave a generous portion. The pork was cooked to perfection and moist. Nice set up. The service was fast and friendly.

I love lechon, came here twice Friday and Sunday for lunch and both days they are closed. According to the RW site and google, opens 11-4pm but to our disappointment it's closed on both days.

Came by and ordered the truffled rice with lechon. For $19 without tax and tip, it was just ok. The rice was good, but hard to go wrong with truffled rice. The lechon was not that great, really porky smelling and the fried skin was pure fat and oil. Not appetizing. Seemed a bit of waste for what you pay.

I needed a gluten-free food option and most of the restaurants in this food court use soy sauce which is not gluten-free. Funny thing is, when I asked if it was gluten-free, the cook responded no because it has rice. I advised him rice doesn't usually contain gluten, they checked and confirmed no gluten. So I didn't have a bad experience like several of the other yelp reviews. The pork was mostly moist and well flavored. There was a small piece of crispy skin, but it was a bit chewy rather than crisp. It was served over about a cup of rice. Overall it was okay.

pros: -best meal we had in vegas! -order the lechon with truffle rice and lechon lumpia -dont forget to order the lechon sauce! cons: -expensive; lechon sauce SHOULD come with the lechon and truffle rice. as a filipino, i was shocked that you had to buy it separately ($3 = 1 sauce)

I was excited to try this place, imagine Filipino food at the food court at Resorts World! But what a complete letdown. I was first in line on Saturday 11am. You order at the kiosk and make your way towards the restaurant. There were only two things offered this day: lechon truffle rice and lechon panini. I went with the truffle rice for $20. You can see the staff working behind the counter and half a lechon on the display window. Our order was ready after 10 minutes and what a sad, sad plate. Two scoops of rice over a small portion of lechon with an orchid flower. When you think lechon, you think skin right? Hardly any skin. You can taste the truffle in the rice but most importantly, you can taste how this plate was rushed, slapped together with no love. Filipino cooking is love and this was far from it. There are serious areas of improvement if this restaurant wants to do well. Please do better! I posted an honest review on the Filipino Cooking Website on Facebook and most people felt the same.

Saw the sisig panini and had to try it and am sure glad I did it was really delicious can't wait to go back and try lechon truffled rice and another panini

I was excited to try the lechon dish for the first time and I was so disappointed with my order;( They gave a very tiny piece of lechon skin and the guy that served me on 4/20/24 was so rude when i pointed out how little it was. Don't even waste your money here!!! $24 is not worth it for what you get. The ladies working also looked annoyed with my complaint. No thank you.

After hearing all the hype and weird intel, I still found this and one other shop worth trying while at the Resorts World Famous Foods Market. Lumpia Egg rolls were sold out on a Saturday night. 1 order of pork and rice came in a pretty normal plate portion however still not worth the upscale vegas mark up. Taste wise, the pork had flavor, maybe saltier than usual but good enough. Skin was already over done and small but was crispy. But seriously, charging $3 for one sauce cup of Sweet Garlic Vinegar sauce just to have one with the meal is a total disgrace.

Ordered the $19.75 Lechon & Truffled rice which is good but no sauce included. You have to order the $3 sauce separately which I missed because it wasn't in the same page as the item. This should've included the sauce, who orders Lechon without the sauce? There are better choices like the $20 Peking duck (plum sauce and chili sauce included on the side) at the Fuhu shack or the $25 salmon 8pcs and toro 8 pcs rolls at the Nori Bar (soy sauce included). I have to deduct 2 stars for nickel and diming on the sauce.

We ordered 2 lechon truffle rice. This is the saltiest food ever. I thought it was just a mistake. But having both plates tasting super salty proved that's how they do it. $19.75 per plate. Plus extra $3 for the lechon sauce. I hope they change their recipe. Giving a bad taste for the flag.

I can't speak to the authenticity of this Filipino haka style food court restaurant, however, there's nothing that would necessarily bring me back given all the food options in the Resorts World dining scene. The menu is simple with three items including a rice dish, a panini, and the side of lumpia. Menu prices are pretty standard if not a little bit less than nearby places, and so it seemed like a fitting option for my lunch. Ordering is simple from any one of these food locations in the food court. You may either order at the kiosk located at the counter of any of the restaurants, or there are centralized kiosks which you can place your order to any of the food court restaurants. You simply bring your phone receipt text it to you to pick up your order. How easy is that?! Service was rather fast, in fact, faster than the rest of my party's food order from the burger place nearby. Food presentation was done well. While the lumpia was pretty standard, the panini was unique and good if you opt for liking more tangy sauces. I do not, however, I can appreciate the effort to offer something a bit different from the usual Asian and Western combined. If anything, it is worth a stop just to check out the roasted pig in the window at the front counter and get a photo opportunity!

Headed to RW food court in a rice mood. I've been tempted by the roasted pig on display on other visits but this time, I finally gave in and ordered the Lechon & Truffled Rice ($19). This is slightly above average for an entrée here and the portion size was large, with a good amount of protein and lots of rice, with a bit of crispy skin on top. It's one of the better values in this food court but the flavors of the dish were rather one-note and essentially just truffle oil, needed more garlic. If there were a sauce on the side, maybe something spicy to add or a fresh herb garnish?, this would help the dish. The amount of truffle oil was not overwhelming and the lechon was not try, so those are some positives. It wasn't a bad dish but maybe plan on sharing with a friend as it gets to be boring after about five bites. Kiosk was easy to use for ordering, staff were friendly at pickup counter, and I'm not opposed to trying another menu item. The menu was rather sparse during our visit with just the two offerings (the rice and a sisig panini), would be great to see lumpia available or an adobo chicken dish, etc.

So for $9 I got 5 small pork lumpias. Ya it's the strip but each lumpia is as thick as my pinky. If it tasted great I would definitely wouldn't mind paying. It's wasn't the best and it wasn't the worst. I just wouldn't go back for the price and taste.

Love that there's Filipino food at Resort World, but disappointed with the service and food. Ordered the lechon plate with truffle rice ($20) and a Mang Tomas-type sauce ($3). I was persuaded to try it out from all these YouTube videos I watched claiming how delicious this plate of lechon and rice is, but for me, it did not live up to the hype. You order from a kiosk and then wait for a text to pick up your order from the food stall of your choice. Unfortunately, I waited for 20 minutes, while everyone else in our group already got their food. I went up to the counter and asked them about my order. They had never texted me and my order was sitting on the counter along with a line of other plates. Yes, my food was cold. Not only was it cold, but the truffle rice had a certain flavor in it that was none too pleasing for my palate. The lechon had a good flavor but I kept biting into tiny pieces of cartilage I had to constantly keep spitting out. I'm sorry, I know, not very appetizing. I dont think I'll make a return visit to this place - not even to try their sisig panini. But I do wish them luck!

Came back on a return trip to Vegas, this time they were open. Got the panini and the rice plate. Panini was good but a tad oversalted. The rice place had good truffled (or just mushroom flavored) rice, it came with pieces of sliced mushrooms and was flavorful. Be nice if you could just get the rice by itself but don't think you can. The lechon roast pork that comes with the rice, was bland and not good without the included dipping sauce. The typical Chinese roast pork has more flavor without dipping than this roast pork. The only good part of the roast pork here is the crispy skin pieces. I don't know if it is either they don't make it well here or if Filipino roast pork is bland as I've not tried Filipino roast pork elsewhere yet.

(5/14/22 Visit) I was excited too see Filipino food since you don't see it too often. They have a very limited menu. The food was good but was expensive for what it was. Ordered the Lechon and Truffle Rice. The lechon was tasty and the rice had great truffle flavor, just can't justify the price for the small portion.

Bummed about this place. Had only a few dishes available (lechon and sisig) and ran out of lumpia shanghai. We had lechon. I guess the food court set up and special "famous foods" is what makes it limiting. You know us Filipinos, we like a lot of food options! Ah well, good idea.

It's nice to have Filipino food represented here at Resorts World but was a bit disappointed after trying their food. I really wish they stuck to a more traditional flavor but we felt they really tried to alter authentic Filipino to an American fusion which did not deliver in my opinion. The lechon was good tho. Hope they could do garlic rice instead with Mang Tomas lechon sauce and atchara on the side.

Food: Truffled rice was flavorful, pork was tender, pork skin was crispy but I kept craving Mang Tomas (or any sauce!) ‍ Service: Friendly staff, they offered sriracha since they didn't have any sauce. Price: $$ but worth it.

Lechon & Truffled Rice is definitely my favorite dish in the food hall. So good. Watched them pull off my lechon from the displayed pig this time. Third time here. Also appreciate plentiful covered outdoor seating.

Trying to support Filipino fam . The food was delicious but the service from María Teresa. Unbelievable rude and nasty .

Location: Inside 'Resorts World' Resort and Casino. It is a part of the "Street Eats" food experience. It is one of 16 Celebrity Chef food destinations. An automated upscale food court. History: Started and run by the Manila-based 'Lechon Diva', AKA Dedet de la Fuente. Menu: Only two items on the menu. Lechon and Truffled Rice, and Sisig Panini. Lechon is simply Filipino Style whole roasted pig. It is cut apart and coarsely shredded with some crispy roasted pork skin added to the serving. The crispy skin is a treasured delicacy by some Lechon lovers. The Panini is the shredded Lechon on grilled panini bread. The truffle rice is flavored and has mushroom added. The Panini has cabbage and a sauce of some sort. We tried both items and each are distinctly different but they showcase the essence of roasted Lechon perfectly. Ordering: Cashless, automated ordering kiosks which were working erratically and giving off error messages while confusing thousands of wannabe customers. Ignore the errors, no printer is needed...The restaurant will text you (maybe) when the order is ready. We got our food after about 25 minutes with no text. The guy called out our number. The entire food court and especially Pepitas was crazy busy during the opening week. The ordering system is Hotel Wide and Pepitas Kitchen was not at fault for this. Parking: Huge multilevel self-park garage which is free for the opening. You must walk about 800 feet to the casino. The Street Eats section is right there. Casino Valet parking is at the same pedestrian entrance and maybe the way to go for high rollers. Valet is not free of course. So Five Big stars from me and my wife. Do not miss the Street Eats Foodie experience at Resorts World. Beware that the prices at all of the Street Eats shops are 'resort' prices.

Dry pricey Filipino lechon rice meal with no lechon sauce at Resort's World Las Vegas. Non crispy lechon skin + lechon sauce not included in the meal.

This review is for the 12am-4am menu, not the normal day time menu. To start off the konlo noodles with char siu was absolutely fire on fire. It really blew my expectations away and it hit the perfect spot for midnight munchies/drunchies. I watched them prepare the soup noodle variants and they looked super bomb as well. The congee on the other hand was just alright. It was a plain congee base where you pour the dry condiments into it to give it flavor. I was expecting a more chinese congee approach where the ingredients are cooked with the congee but maybe this is a different take. Not my favorite but still okay. Seeing other reviews and pictures of the lechon rice makes me wonder why they don't just have the midnight menu as a part of their regular menu.

Very expensive and definitely NOT worth it. Ordered the lechon with truffle rice and when I picked it up it looked like it was a sample size. Portion size was for an infant, meat was cold, skin was dry, rice was dry, not much flavor. Regret wasting $20 on this dish. Would not recommend, spend your money somewhere else. Sauce would have been an extra $3 to dip your 2 tiny pieces of pork in.

Famous Food Stalls in Resort World Las Vegas brings about curiosity on different stalls. We tried Pepita's Kitchen for the lechon, which has a whole roasted pig displayed on their counter. It looks mouth watering considering I grew up devouring lechon on occasions. The meat is tender but lacking in flavor. A little okay with their sauce. The skin is chewy, not in any way crispy, the way it should be. The lechon lumpia is salty. Lechon panini is not to crave for. Truffled rice is good.

Definitely a disappointment. For a $23 value with tax included. It's a shame to only get a pinch of that "infamous lechon" (can't even call it as a serving) a small cup of that " truffle fried rice" on the side and that is all. It doesn't even come with a drink . Shame! Shame! Don't be fooled by that tiny lechon display that they have. The "balat" (skin) wasn't even crunchy. Ugh! Waste of money.

Filipino food stall inside Resorts World specializing in lechon (roast pork). The menu is limited to lechon and rice and a shredded lechon panini. We opted for the lechon and rice which was really good. It comes with several pieces succulent, fatty pork belly, some crispy pork skin on the side, and some very fragrant truffle rice. There is no sauce which seems to be a common complaint, but I thought the dish was still plenty flavorful. Portions could be bigger for the price but you can't really expect value inside a Vegas casino. Would definitely order again.
