got the lunch special pernil and a morir sonando. the pernil was solid but the meat had a salted / smoked taste i havent experienced with pernil. yellow rice and plantains were also ok but paid $25 total which is pretty expensive for a lunch special and guy in front of me paid $12. morir sonando was extremely sweet, not something id get again. lots of fresh food available hot bar style - smells and feels oily inside but cant blame them. read more

El Nuevo Bohio Lechonera - pernil lunch special - Dominican Near Me - Bronx, New York

Love the food here!! Fresh and flavorful always!!! My go to spot.I have tried different dishes all super delicious but my favorite here is Carne guisada with white rice and sweet plantains ... When I am sick I order their chicken soup that's food for my soul. read more

This place use to be great and now it's mediocre at best. The pernil is dry, the rice is always overcooked and the flan is eggy. The only thing that i truly enjoy is the beef pastelitos. read more

I received my order and was very happy to try the new spot. As I ate each thing I ordered I realized that I wasted my money. No taste and very dry. I had the chicken, pernil, rice, and pasta salad. read more

So disappointing. The remodel must've included a new chef. Lechon was dry and all pieces for take out were the ribs. Not worth ever going back. Even the alcapurria was so so. read more

So disappointed. Take out Lechon was dry and all rib cuts when I got home. Pastelillo was greasy and hard. Meat did not have familiar taste. Alcapurria mediocre. So sorry to take this off my list. read more

Purchased breakfast & lunch (one order) by mistake from here due to several restaurants having lechonera as their name. Worst luck ever. The mangu was dry, big plantain chunks and tasteless. Fried cheese was very thin slice making it hard texture also taste like spoiled cheese.also got roast pork. To start it stinks like pork really nauseating. Hard big chunks cut into pieces. Worst mistake I've made and super disappointed. This place needs to be shut down. read more

Pernil is dry like the Sahara. More flavor on the meat when it was still alive. I don't know how they can present this as edible food. The habichuelas guisadas had a diabetic sweet taste. Not good at all. The guy cutting the pernil has the worst attitude, like he's upset with his life choices. read more

Honestly felt very half and half about this spot, and to be honest, in the Bronx especially, you can get much better hispanic food and service. What kept them from at least a 3 is how long we ended up waiting for food. I don't mind waiting for food, you can recover if its delicious, but here they try to disguise mistakes and flavors when you can't. To start, the appetizers, alcapurrias were too dry. Mayoketchu was saving the day on these, but not enough so. Tried to wash it down with coffee, but it tasted like water. My porkchops were dry, but I give them compliments on the way the beans were prepared. The carne guisada was almost as if it was prepared by a whole different kitchen considering it was moist, flavorful, and overall delicious. The best dish easily was the asopao de camarones. While I felt the broth could have been more shrimpy vs using the chicken broth used, it was still amazing. If they made everything like they made this, it would be a better establishment overall. Thank you. read more

Just so unbelievably salty. This place is terrible don't come here unless you want food poisoning. This place gave me food poisoning DO not come here read more

I ordered 1/2 dozen pasteles I don't know who made them but on a scale of 1 -10 they were a 1.they were bland and hardly had no meat. Even the meat was bland I am very disappointed they used to have some good pasteles.i also bought blood sausage and even that had alot to desired. So I'm sorry but I won't be buying there anymore. So I give them 1 star. read more

The most RACIST resturant I ever experienced! They lied about the manager not being there when I wanted to order over $2000 worth of food for Thanksgiving. No one spoke English, but they laughed and spoke spanish for around 5 minutes. They didn't know I ordered there every year. Finally a woman who spoke spanished said I don't appreciate what they are saying about you. You can be my mother. She told them in spanish "she orders from your manager every year, and mysteriously the manager came from the back and was happy to see me. They all stop laughing then and I put in my order with the manager. She then told me she was off on Friday's but introduced me to a man who was to have my food ready that Friday. Well come Friday, the food was 2 hours late. And the black man that was to pick up the 30 pounds of perin was treated like he was a crook and he was just as light as they were but didn't speak spanish. They wanted all kinds of proof that he was to pick up the food, stalling because the food was not ready. LAST ORDER FROM THEM. 11/17/2023. EAST TREMONT El Nuevo Bohio Lechonera... NO BUENO read more

Stopped in for dinner while working in the area. Nice, busy Spanish food place. I ordered chicken with yellow rice and plantains. Got a nice portion of chicken, it was really tasty, along with the rice which wasn't dried out. The plantains were soft and sweet. All in all it was a good meal that didn't break the bank. I got it to go, but the restaurant is back open. It looked clean and everything was very fresh. read more

Great little spot for when you are craving authentic spanish food. We go to our usual little spots but decided to try this place on late New Year's day night. We had gotten the boneless chicken chunk combo with a side order of the pernil.The chicken chunks were good but the portion was a tad smaller and the chunks where more of.. well small chunks which did not contain much white meat. However, the white rice was really well made but we couldn't opt for Yellow rice as the beans are made into the rice. I don't mind the beans but some people like my bf is not a huge of it. We also got an order of the tostones -- these were made with love and it showed. The crispiness of these and they were far from dry. You can basically eat these alone without the mijito sauce. The pernil was just average. Not sure if it was because we came late but the meat was a bit on the dry side. The combo also came with a medium bottle soda and a salad. I thought the salad was alright as there are random veggies i didn't expect in there like the green beans lol. I would def come back and try other options here though! read more

Absolutely ridiculous and I got charge what I didn't get, absolutely ridiculous, when you guys pick up the phone YOU NEED TO HEAR PEOPLES ORDER CLEARLY and not give them the wrong thing read more

This place is still the bomb! Due to Covid they only offer take out at the moment. I jet there immediately after work and at 5:30pm the line was out the door. Waited 10 mins for the pernil but well worth it, I'd even wait an hour for it. Best perk East Tremont has to offer. read more

The food is good but they way they be lying about the prices robbing people is crazy. First the lady say the large carne guisa is $22 then when they guy ask her to charge me he said it's $20 then another guy said no its $24 plus tax. WTF??? Ridiculous trying to rob customers. The guy taking my order was incompetent I repeated my order 7 times to him and he still was getting it wrong and asking me what size and what's my order. The restaurant was EMPTY so I don't understand why he was this slow. My order was $44.11 for a large white rice, medium red beans, large carne guisa and one Alcapurria. Make it make sense. Don't try to rob people because they look like they have a lot of money. I took out a good amount of money from my pocket and all of a sudden everyone saying different prices.I would not recommend coming here. They're so greedy, money hungry. It's pathetic. read more

I thought it was a Puerto Rican restaurant? No wonder the food taste different everytime. Last time the pork was salted too munch waste of money. I been going there for years. But there isnt consistency in the cooking or flavor. El sabor boricua criolla can't be duplicated. read more

Food from this restaurant has always gotten very good reviews from customers from their community as well as from folks that work near the area. I was pleased to be able to order through Grubhub and have it delivered in very good time. My only issue with the pasteles en hoja I received today was that it was somewhat bland. I suspect that when they boiled this particular batch, they forgot to boil them in salted water. I trust this would not happen again :( read more

So if you want to gain a few pounds definitely come here. Almost 95% of the dishes are fried. But the food is so good, its almost as good as mom's. When mom enjoys it I know its good. The specialty is the Lechon(Pork) with the rice,beans and tostones(double fried platains) served with garlic mojito, soooooo good. The place Is kept pretty clean and the servers very attentive. The food is pretty consistent in taste. (good thing) and reasonably priced. If you go to counter they have some other fried cuchifritos, try one of each. especially the blood sausage(morcilla). Anyway have to stop writing getting so hungry and its only 640am. Give it a try!! Best kept secret in the Boogie down Bronx.... read more

this restaurant must have new owners that dont know how to cook! their food use to be delicious!! i ordered a pork chop combo with arroz con guandules!! and it was terrible!!! pale tasteless rice and porkchops that tasted like they were seasoned with salt!!! grosssssssss!!! dont waste your money!!the food is not the same!! nasty!!! read more

The reason you go to this place is replace any false concept you might have about how to prepare roast pork! This combination of rice and bean with sweet plantains is the dish Jesus served at the "Last Supper". If not it should have been! Don't forget the mojito! Enjoy! read more

This is the place for PORK! I eat lunch here weekly and enjoy El Nuevo Bohio's Latin seasoning and preparation. The lunch special is seven bucks (choice of meat with beans, rice and sweet plantains) the portion is generous, awesome whole chickens as well. Rice and beans = perfect, pork sandwich is great and reasonable @ $5.50. Many value packed combos pork, chicken, beef and seafood with sides priced from 17 to 20 dollars. Gets very crowded during lunch and a bit chaotic so I mostly take out, parking is imposable. Clean large dining room with windows all around give a nice open feel to this restaurant. No problem ordering in English for this Gringo. Just do it! read more

After reading about this place on NYT as being the temple of pork, I had to see it for myself. It was exactly what I expected and then some. The fried pork skin and deep fried pork chunks were delightful as well as the tostones and yellow rice and beans. The garlic sauce was so good that came with the tostones I dipped everything in it. $25 for a ton of food for two people and enough for two lunches of leftovers for the next day. About 30 minute wait to be seated but well worth the wait. read more

El Nuevo Bohio Lechonera - Yum! - Dominican Near Me - Bronx, New York

You never feel more stuffed than after a visit to this Bronx pork fantasy land. A knowledge of Spanish would be helpful but is not necessary, as most things can be pointed to. Prepare for a bit of a wait, unbuckle that belt and enjoy! All things pork are a safe bet, including the roasted pork ($7 with choice of tostones, sweet plantains, or fries). The pork skins are always a good bet, perfectly crisp and full of all the best juices from marinading. **Not for someone with a weak stomach.. there are many men with large machetes hacking away at whole pigs. read more

What a disappointment. Everything was a mess. The oven roasted chicken was salty & dry. The flank steak with onions, was pale white, and bland. It was like chewing on a wet sock. The Patelitos were soggy, and the ground beef had the taste and consistency of "Golden Crust" style beef patties; not what I expected or wanted when ordering from a Dominican Style restaurant. The beans - god, how did they mess up the beans - was bland, not as bland as the steak socks, but bad enough to just throw away. The only food items that were "ok" were the fried sweet & green plantains. The whole delivery cost $36 + tip ($40). Won't ever order from here again, and I advise that everyone else stay away. read more

El Nuevo Bohio Lechonera - Steak Sock Soup. Disgusting, absolutely disgusting. Both in presentation and taste. Dog Food. - Dominican Near Me - Bronx, New York

Really mad at myself for going to the chicken spot across the street after playing basketball and not going to Bohio instead. As a kid growing up in the area I always walked by this place, mouth watering at all the delicious poultry on display. Not once did I enter Bohio. Moving out of the Bronx for a couple years and coming back now the gf and I walked the mean streets of the Bronx. Upon showing her the schools I went to and stores I use to shop in we ran into Bohio and since we were both hungry we stepped in for a nice lunch. Best decision we could have made. We chose a family meal which consist of a whole chicken, rice and beans, green salad, maduros, and a Coke. We also got 1/2 a lbs of chicharon. The chicken was so well seasoned and almost tasted hickory. I don't know how they do it but it's some good stuff. Beans are the best! they are seasoned jut right with a nice thick texture. I crave this place ever since going for the first time. I can't lie, the food is the best in the area. We've tried nearly every Dominican spot in the area and non comes close. Good thing about this spot is that they serve not only Puerto Rican dishes but Dominican and from what I saw Cuban food too. You can't be mad at that at all. It's a small walk from our apt but definitely worth it. Place is so good that it's been featured in numerous shows and magazines/newspapers. If you live outside of the Bronx and heard about this place come on down and if you live in the area you should already know about this place. read more

This place is not good at all. The food is tasteless...and service is terrible. Trust me...you will remember my review.

Ordered a lunch special, rice beans and chicken. The rice was lumpy, the beans didn't taste good and the chicken had no flavor and was under cooked. There food use to be delicious. Not sure if they have different cooks or what's. Going on,but I was not satisfied with my food . I had to throw the food away. It was a waste of money. Very disappointed read more

The Best!!! One of my favorite restaurant in New York. The lechon and tostones with the garlic sauce is perfect!! read more

Where do I begin?! This place make amazing Spanish food!!! I saw someone having a pastel (grated green banana with yummy pork filling) and I had to have one because it looked so good! I have to say my grandma made the best pastels and this one did not disappoint!! I ordered a pork filled mofongo (green plantains mashed with garlic and the filling of your choice). It was a decent portion with a nice chunk of crispy pork skin on top. I topped with with the gravy they provide and their slamming garlic mojo (garlic sauce). They can bottle that stuff up and sell it. Pros: Amazing food. Quick friendly service. Decent prices. Good for families and small groups. Cons: Place was a little loud. Not the best for a first date. read more

This is the best original Puerto Rican food you could find. To me it's the best in New York. We just drove in to see the Yankee parade and of course the trip to NY must include a stop at the Nuevo Bohio. When you stop by please try the bistek empanizado or breaded steak. I highly recommend this restaurant. read more

As Dominican as it can get. Looking for tasty Latin Dominican menu ? Well this is it ! Every dish is authentic and served by friendly Spanish personnel. Can't go wrong. The entire menu is surely and experience. Conveniently they take every method of payment without surcharging the customer. Very well recommended ! read more

Nasty food shitty service and people who think overcharging customer is okay. I've been frequenting this place since I was young. Never have I been charged separate for each item in the meal (stew chicken small container 10 dollars rice 6 dollars and beans (2 dollars) . Beans have always been included. I will never step foot in this place again. read more

Crispy chicken! I really like their chicken and the sesame drink they make is delicious.

Puerto Rican comfort food. Lots of pork and plantains, like in the mofongo con pernil I ordered. For only $7, it was a big ball of mashed plantain and pork, very tasty, filling, and, because it's plantain, good for the stomach. At the table next to me was a group of men who, I gathered from their conversation, had been recently released from prison. They threw the "n-word" around quite a lot, so if you go, be aware it's not the most genteel group of diners you'll see. Low prices, big portions, good flavors. I just wish they had a hotter hot sauce. read more
