Nothing about this food is boar-ing 🐗 Highlights: • Lechon Asado • Morcilla • Arroz con Gandules Review: In Mexico we have carnitas and in Puerto Rico they have Lechon Asado a la varita. First I tried the arroz con gandules which was everything I wished for and more. Nicely seasoned, with fresh aromatics and a perfect fluffy texture. Next I tried the batata hervida which is a type of sweet potato but it wasn’t my favorite. Finally the star of the show did not disappoint, the lechon was succulent, meaty, fall apart texture, with nice rendered fat and the cuerito was chefs kiss perfection. I can’t wait to go back to try their other sides and drinks. Rating: 8/10 Lechon Asado Arroz con Gandules Batata hervida

A true institution of typical Puerto Rican food, made at the highest level by the same family for over 50 years. The place is in the middle of the mountains off of a terribly maintained road so parking can be challenging. It's a large space with a bar, an area with take home snacks and typical desserts. The restaurant has a homey feel about it decorated with all the antiques, newspaper clippings and awards. The food was the best version I've ever had of everything I tasted! The rice, garbanzo beans, stewed codfish, stewed beef, onion steak, cuajito, etc, etc. This meal was a month ago and I can still remember the taste! Amazing experience!

This is the friendliest, nicest lechonera I've ever seen. Came close to closing and they treated us incredibly nicely. They're more than willing to help tourists and the bar is filled with locals coming by. If you're a tourist renting a car in Puerto Rico. Beware.. the roads on the way are some of the curviest, crazies things you'll be exposed to. You'll also be sharing them with fully loaded semi trucks. The parking lot also has a 300footish drop in front of it so mind where you park.

This is our favorite lechonera. We came here 8 years ago and in July 2022. On the first stay we fell in love with it. They even took us to the area where they cook the pigs. They had (Friday after Thanksgiving) 6 whole pigs being cooked on spits. The food is great and varied. The only problem is that it is far from San Juan. This time we arrived too close to closing time. We bought pork (lechon asado) asado, morcillas (blood sausage), and arroz manposteado. It was great.

The food was served fast, because we ordered the family combo. Pork had no flavor, the pasteles were good. The arroz con gandules was average. Tostones were dried and tasted a bit stale. The people are very friendly. If you are not from there, it's a little crazy, not your typical restaurant. You have to find where to sit and grab someone to get your order.

Excellent food, customer service, location and atmosphere! The roasted pork was superb! Their home made Sangria: fresh and refreshing! The papaya dessert with white cheese delicious! Our waitress was very good and friendly! Not too far up in the mountains: easy access, PR Route #1.. will highly recommend and will definitely visit again!❤️🇵🇷❤️
