Although the quality of the food looked great and tasted fine, all four orders/main dishes arrived cold to the table. The Service by out waitress was unfortunate as her immature way to blame one of the guests left us all wanting to leave. The person, local to the area, whom invited us to this joint was served the wrong plate. After informing the waitress, she just blamed the guest for not "being clear" with the order and refused to change the plate. Not even after the guest had explicitly said she could not eat it. The ambience was loud and not proper for a restaurant that charges $30 plus the plate. I will not recommend this restaurant.

This place is right on the main highway, it's huge and packed so plan accordingly: we arrived before noon on a Friday, so we probably got one of the last parking spots (there's a guy managing or charging in the parking lot? not sure) and the line was manageable. A large group and some buses showed up after us, so it got really crowded! Anyway, we had a short line, had no idea what we were doing to order (I should have researched better) but pointed and nodded, and with some help from the nice people in line, ended up with two huge platters of pork, rice and some other sides - way more food that we probably needed. The food: delicious! I would say our #2 favorite meal in Puerto Rico, after Marmalade (but that was more than 10x the price!) The pork was delicious, juicy, flavorful, and the crackling was to die for! I wish they would package those and sell them - probably only good fresh, though. Rice and sides were adequate: my son tried to be healthy and said the salad and potatoes were ok, but you're really there for the pork. Cost etc.: we paid less than $50 for 2 enormous plates of food and some sodas. It was enough for 3 lunch servings, plus enough leftovers for 2 people to have the rest for dinner - so I guess 5 servings? The wait was not bad early on a weekday, but they must get incredibly overrun on weekends. It is entertaining to see the pork cooking on a spit (please don't come if you are vegetarian and sensitive to such things) and watch them hacking away with machetes. My husband wondered if the machetes are the same once used for sugar cane!

There's even a small coffee shop area off to the side, which adds to the charm. The service was attentive and pleasant throughout. We sat in the first dining area (there's apparently a second section as well), just to have drinks and some appetizers, and overall the experience started off well. The atmosphere is definitely one of the highlights here. That said, there was a significant issue with the food. The chicken wings we ordered were served with visible hair/feather remnants still on them, even after being fried. That's not just a small oversight; it's a basic food preparation and quality control issue that shouldn't happen in a restaurant of this caliber. Overall, the setting and service make this a place with a lot of potential, but attention to detail in the kitchen, especially cleanliness and proper preparation, needs improvement.

They have a big field with coffee fruit bushes in the distance. They have a nice photo op. The store features a cafe with seating outdoors. They sell pastries and of course coffee. They do sell speciality coffees. I personally got to try their strawberry shortcake drink. I also got to buy coffee beans. Unfortunately they didn't feature roast dates on the bags. The staff was well informed about what bags to buy for what notes/tastes you prefer. It's a nice detour for anything coffee related.

Oooooiiiii!!! The Legendary La Ruta de Lechon (Pork Highway)…read more AMBIANCE Parking: Can definitely get busy during peak hours and weekends, but there's usually attendants and nearby parking options helping direct traffic. There's paid parking and street parking. All in all come early. Seating: Huge open seating areas with picnic-style tables and plenty of room for large groups, families, and celebrations. Take your pick, close to the live music or the local river for a more natural feeling. Vibes: The area keeps you busy from souvenir shopping, listening to music, or just Chinchorreo (like bar crawl but with pork)! The spot itself is alive on the weekend with music, people dancing, pig roasting and for a calmer pace, enjoying the scenery of the mountain, flow of the river and the chirps of animals around. Great place for a nice food adventure for families, friends, or just rolling through solo. FOOD / DRINKS Combo Plate (Recommend) I know it's important to save room to chinchorreo but especially if this is your first time, this should be your base. Lechon - Pick your protein, obviously I got pig - it was juicy, flavorful and tender slices of meat, and a nice piece of crispy skin. Morcilla - not your usual sausage but a rich flavorful with a chewy spiced earthy flavor. Pasteles - kind of like a tamale which was a savory soft doughy base. Arroz con Gandules - If they're out of their seasonal pasteles, then this is a nice savory with a lot of lot of lively flavors and seasoning. The portions overall were generous and very "family style" feeling. This is not tiny trendy food--you come hungry. CUSTOMER SERVICE Awesome! Props to the people that work the weekends for their consistent friendly service. TL;DR OVERALL 5 Stars. Good food, reasonable prices, and a one of a kind Puerto Rican vibe. From the mountain scenery, live local music, smoky aroma, and the general playful energy - this was a highlight of my trip I won't be forgetting for a while. When in Puerto Rico, La Ruta de Lechon is a must and make sure to stop by El Rancho Original. TIPS * Come hungry and come early (for parking and to get the best parts of the lechon). Weekends are the best as it is livelier.

We entered around 5pm before it got too busy and we're the first in line. They only had 4 people at the bar and waiting tables, but no one bothered to acknowledge us for at least 15 minutes. Once they finally did, they told us to wait and tried to seat the spanish-speaking couple clearly behind us. The waitress looked disgruntled when we said we were first. Service continued to be poor throughout dinner, part of our order was forgetten and we had to wave her down for every piece of the order. The food was nothing great either. They literally make everything cafeteria style in the back. The Christmas pork plate and mofongo were extremely dry with no accompanying sauces and the rice was extremely salty.
