My friend mentioned that this was her favorite place for traditional whole spit-roasted pork and we headed that way for lunch. It is not a fancy place but the flavors are so worth the trip! The place was packed with locals and visitors alike. We stood in line, selected and pointed to what we wanted and we paid at the other end of the counter. They have open coveted seating and they have fans going. Lively music played in the background. We left with our bellies full and happy with our delicious adventure.

We visited here a couple of years ago for the coffee tour. We enjoyed our visit then. We decided…read moreto stop and have breakfast before heading out for a few days. They have a shortened menu, but they also serve several hot and cold drinks. We ordered the brioche sandwich which had a lot of ham. It was made perfectly and ended up being quite filling. They put spicy mustard on it which made the sandwich even better. I had the hot chocolate which was smooth and creamy and not too hot. My wife had the mortadella with cheese. She enjoyed it. It had a great taste. She also had the iced coffee with coconut. The coconut was just right. It was refreshing. We would love to come back for breakfast when we come back to visit the island!

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.

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.
