    Hands down the best meal deal around, especially in this economy. My family calls it white box…read moredinner as you get a huge white takeout box LOADED with your meat of choice, rice beans and side. Each box is easily enough for two meals even for my hungry adult sons and husband. I was hesitant to go at first as I don't speak Spanish and while the language is a challenge the staff is friendly and ok with me pointing and using my poor Spanish skills.

    Yesterday, Monday afternoon - evening…read more I want to share my experience with a restaurant that, in my opinion, used to be the best in Apopka: Lechonera Latina. I have to ask, where is the so-called manager who claims to be in charge of the restaurant? Doesn't he see how bad the food has become? In the past, after getting off work, I would often stop here because I have to go to Mount Dora and don't have much time to eat. I always enjoyed coming here. Now, I can barely enjoy my favorite chicharrones. Sometimes they are completely burned, and other times they are not crispy at all. The roasted chicken is also burned on some occasions, while other times it looks yellow and poorly prepared. The mofongo? At 4:00 in the afternoon, I'm told they can no longer make it. Then why even have it on the menu? And don't even get me started on the fish--it has very little flavor and is often burned as well. What is going on in the kitchen? "What is going on in the kitchen? The quality and consistency of the food have changed dramatical The only good thing that remains is the way the women treat the customers. Their kindness and good service are honestly the only decent thing left about this place. That is why I still leave a tip--to show my appreciation for the attention and courtesy they give me. To the owners of Lechonera Latina: if you don't start hiring qualified cooks like the ones you had two years ago, you are going to lose customers to the other restaurants in the area. It is a shame to see a place that was once so good go downhill like this.
