Lechon Latin BBQ & Bar

I had the absolute pleasure of dining at Lechon Latin BBQ in Raleigh, and it was a culinary journey that left me thoroughly impressed. Located conveniently at the Triangle Town Center, just across from Barnes & Noble, this gem of a restaurant offers a dining experience like no other.

First and foremost, the menu here is a treasure trove of choices. With an extensive list of options, including dishes prepared in their open flame brick oven and rotisserie, it's a food lover's paradise. From rotisserie chickens to crispy cuero (skin) choices, and a mouthwatering selection of beef, pork, and chicken, there's something for every palate. The Latin twist on burgers and the delicious tacos, wings, and flatbreads are not to be missed.

One delightful surprise was the fried tostones - a fritter made from plantains that's fried to crispy perfection and expertly seasoned. It's a unique and flavorful treat that I couldn't get enough of.

The homemade sauces, particularly the AJI Verde and AJI Amarillo, were absolute standouts. They added the perfect amount of zing to the dishes. Don't miss the empanadas, rice bowls, and their delectable desserts either.

What truly sets Lechon Latin BBQ apart is their ready-to-go family meals. It's such a convenient concept, allowing you to take home a whole chicken, a pound of pork, ribs, sausages, and more for a complete family feast.

During my two-day stay in Raleigh, I had the opportunity to witness the dedication to freshness and quality as everything was made from scratch. The pork and crispy skin were a revelation, and the steak sandwich was a flavor-packed delight.

Parking is ample, and for those using public transport, there's a bus stop conveniently located nearby. The staff here are incredibly friendly and attentive, adding to the welcoming atmosphere. The restaurant's modern, clean, and tastefully decorated interior lends a high-class feel to your dining experience.

In summary, Lechon Latin BBQ is a must-visit. Whether you're a local or just passing through, make sure to try this place soon. It's a testament to exceptional Latin cuisine and a dining adventure you won't forget.
