This cafeteria style BBQ spot offers a variety of roasted meats & PR style sides. During my visit,…read moreI tried the pernil (roasted pork), roasted chicken, chicken sausage,maduro (fried sweet plantain),& rice w/ gandules. The standout was def the roasted chicken(dark meat was juicy, flavorful, & delish while the white meat was a little dry it was still tasty). The roasted pork was also enjoyable & moist w/ crispy cerdo (skin).Unfortunately, the chicken sausage was on the dry side.The rice & gandules were the biggest disappointment. They tasted like they had been sitting out for a while & lacked the freshness & hotness(I like my rice piping hot) I was hoping for. The maduro could have been more fresh as well. I wish they had been more generous w/ the hot sauce. I was only given two tiny containers which wasn't nearly enough for the amount of food I ordered. The woman who took care of me was ok. Some of the other workers were rude & acted like I asked for the world when I asked for hot sauce. There isn't really any decor (just basic) & seating/tables are outside where you can enjoy the nice,fresh air. The only complaint I can say about that is the birds everywhere. Overall, the roasted chicken/pernil alone would def bring me back. While some of the sides & extras could use improvement as well as some of the staff. The quality of the chicken/pernil made the visit worthwhile plus the price was right. I couldn't believe how cheap everything was.

We stopped here on the road between Ponce and San Juan, and since we didn't have a lot of time, we…read moredidn't wander too far down the Ruta del Lechon (Pork Highway). 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!

During our trip to Puerto Rico, we made a stop at a lechónera- a restaurant that serves lechón (one…read moreof PR's unofficial national dishes), which is a whole, slow-roasted pig. This restaurant is just one of many open-air roadside spots that serve lechón along "La Ruta del Lechón", aka the "pork highway" in Guavate. We got a half pound of lechon along with Mamposteao, which was delicious and filling. The pork skin hit a level of shatteringly crispy texture that I have never had from non-fried pork skin. We came later in the day, which unfortunately meant that the pork was slightly dried out. However, the texture and flavor of the lechón was absoutely delicious. It's a "build your own box" style restaurant where you choose which sides you want on the dipslay. Besides the mamposteao there were also other delicious-looking sides such as plantains/mofongo, beans, fruit, etc. There's a small parking lot outside the restaurant- one where the rule is you can only back your car into your parking space. Interesting. Would definetely come to try lechón here again!

Llegamos a este local sin saber por que tenía otro nombre en Google. Llegamos y pedimos dos jugos naturales de parcha y tamarindo y no sabían a nada como dicen por acá agua de piringa y hielo. No pedimos aperitivos y fuimos directo a la comida. Chuletas Kan Kan como arepas y costillas de cerdo con batatitas fritas. No soy dado a las carnes rojas pero el menú es limitado así que no había opción. Servicio fue bueno y tiene buen estacionamiento, parece más un local para chinchoriar los fines de semana. La comida estaba súper salada. Aunque no lo crea la comida que sobró estaba mejor al otro día que el mismo día que lo pedimos. Para que le gusta el chinchoreo le va a gustar el que buscar algo más especial además del nombre pues no.

The interior was pretty spacious and colorful, with festive decor for the holidays and a live band playing. There was a happening atmosphere to the place. I ordered Pork (of course), tostones, and yuca. The Pork was well seasoned, though a little dry. I was disappointed that the skin was not crispy thin enough to eat. Tostones were nice and crisp. Yuca were cooked perfectly and had just the right consistency. Also got to try the Pork Ribs, and this was my favorite! They were small in size, delightfully tender, juicy, full of bold flavor, making for truly mouthwatering bites.
