Stopped by for lunch. Place was clean, service was kind and polite, food was fresh and portions were plentiful. But the flavor of the food was very basic and institutional -- like a school lunch or hospital meal. And that would be alright if lunch was a $10 deal, but my lunch total was $20 for Meh. However the portion was enough for 2 people or meals. It's your call. read more

When you're craving Latin food but not really sure where to go, come to Lechonera. Cutesy little spot in an unassuming plaza located in Ocoee. It's got a mix of Cuban, Puerto Rican and Dominican flavors. From rice and beans to grilled and stewed meats to plantains. They've got a plethora of different foods to choose from. I've been here a few times with colleagues during lunch and they've all said the food here reminds them of home. Food here is delicious! And comforting might I add. I'm skeptical of food served buffet style because I always feel like the quality is not there. But Lechonera is legit good. Everything I've had I enjoyed a lot! My favorites are the red rice and beans, beef steak, mangu lechon, macaroni salad, yuca, and the tres leches cake. Each time I dined here I finished all my food which was a mistake because I went back to work sleepy. It was the itis. Haha!! read more

Great food. Very clean and has pretty authentic flavors that satisfy a few different styles: Puerto Rican, Cuban, Dominican and if I recall, other cuisines as well. The place looks really clean and the food doesn't sit forever drying out under lamps. The staff are very helpful and courteous. Serving sizes are very filling. read more

Food and service is always 10/10 here. I always have a full tummy AND leftovers no matter what I order. I love their chicken as well as their seafood paella. The flavors here are unmatched. The staff is very friendly and it's always busy during the lunch rush. Great food and great people always. read more

GOod bang for your buck and delicious to go with it. We have passed by a few times and decided to finally stop in. I regret not doing it sooner. The beef stew with potatoes brought back childhood memories and was very tasty. It could use some additional heat and then it would be perfect. read more

La comida en este lugar está costosa. Cobrarme casi 8 pesos ni por una libra de pernil es un poco fuera del mundo. Mientras tanto de 15 minutes de este lugar me dan el doble del plato por $8.99. Ahora se por que este lugar siempre está vacío read more

Probably one of the best lechón I've ever ate... I typically do NOT like that skin most people rave about but THIS one was SO good! We even indulged in their flan and OMG wow! Service was pretty quick and lots of seating available too. read more

Very fresh and affordable. I would definitely come back again! The staff were so friendly too!!

Visited this restaurant around 2 PM during a Saturday afternoon. Nice huge portion of food with very reasonable price. Like all the other Hispanic cafeterias, I was overwhelmed by the number of choices of food on the steamed table. However, their service was very friendly with both English and Spanish. They would answer any question about their food. I even got to learn about the difference between Dominican and Peruvian fried rice. I was very happy that I ordered the Budin de Pan. One of the best bread pudding I ever had. Not overly sweet but very flavorful. I will visit this restaurant again just to try all their other desserts. read more

The food came out at a relatively good pace I waited about 10-15 minutes, the bread pudding was sooooo good with the vanilla ice cream o want to go back just for that! read more

Guys, this is our goto spots for Cuban sandwich and pan con bistec - simply amazing! IMO, one of the best I have found in Orlando.

If you know you want Hispanic food, but don't know WHAT specifically, THIS is your go-to. It's got many options to order, you won't leave disappointed. Who doesn't HATE when that happens? It's a small-ish, cozy, chill spot. You can tell, taste that the food was made with pure knowledge & care formaking the customer happy. This is a picture of my Carne Encebollado, Arroz con Gandulees, Yuca (Meat with Onion, Rice with Pigeon Peas, Cassava) & Pure Leaf Raspberry tea. Also, you get a LOT of "bang for your buck". If you're not "Starvin' Marvin", you'll have plenty of leftovers. Just reheat it, you have another meal right there. It's a double-whammy. read more

I really enjoyed this place. I called before coming in and the employees were so nice! When you first walk in you see the menu and there's signs of how much the lunch special is. The food is super traditional Hispanic food. I loved everything that was in my plate. You get a choice of rice, a protein and a side for the lunch plate. They serve a lot! Everything was very clean, and they were pretty fast. will definitely be coming back :) read more

Great Caribbean Latin food! Waitress service was excellent! Totally recommend it! Our experience was really good and we will be coming back.

Amazing food!! Great portions. Line was long but moved fairly quickly. Wide variety of choices (buffet style).

I have been here a number of times and couldn't tell you all the different dishes I've tried from their buffet style ordering platform. But I will tell you they've all been great! First of all, this place is hopping, so that's always a good sign. You walk in and can ask for a to go meal (that's what I do) and then you pick your rice (which changes everyday and let's you try all sorts of different styles without getting boring), your meat (again, they're all good, so don't spend too much time trying to decide and instead just close your eyes and pick) and then your side. I'm not sure what it is that I get, ground plantains or something that looks like mashed potatoes, but I get it whenever I can because it is sooooooo good!! Make sure to ask for their garlic sauce and they'll give you some in a little condiment container because just a little off that makes this dish beyond addictive. I tried one of the sandwiches for the first time today - the Cuban - and that was possibly one of the best I've had. Very well flavored and not at all dry. Definitely recommend!! read more

I don't know why this place does not have a thousand more comments. I moved here from Miami and this just tastes like home. When the food arrived just the smell reminded me of home. There are many places out there that say they have true Hispanic food but they got nothing on this place. I don't know how else to describe it better than a noche buena dinner in every single order. read more

Great food but seems to be a different price for non latino customers .me and my friend order the same thing and i paid 2 dollars more never again . read more

The service is very slow.. it takes them a while to get going when they open at 10:00. Other than that the food is pretty good

Finally a real tradition Hispanic restaurant in winter garden. Set up inside is warm and welcoming And the food is on point This will be my go to read more

OK after eating the food I must say that this place is wonderful staff was very friendly I highly recommend. read more

I don't know where to begin is all I have to say to describe my entire experience here. It's clean inside with a pretty tight parking situation especially if you come during the lunch rush. It's a cafeteria style where you choose what you want but none of the foods on display have a description or a name. I didn't want to be that person and ask what every single thing was but when I had a hard time deciding what to get and tried to ask all she had to say was pork. I asked what the meat next to it was she said pork. Gave up after that and just chose the first thing I saw in front of me or the first pork I asked about. I would *maybe* come back if the menu was more helpful or they add some labels since service is not so friendly. Portions seem generous, taste is meh. Menu prices aren't listed on the screen but the lunch special was $10.95. I've had better lunch at the Jamaican restaurant next door (same portions half the cost) and even went there afterwards. read more

Good hispanic food. It is served buffet style and service was great. Atmosphere is nice while eating some of the best food. My personal favorite is white rice, pork, black beans, and tostones on the side. read more

This place deserves more recognition because it exceeded my expectations. We had the arroz con gandules with Ropa vieja, grilled pork, and pollo guisado. Everything was very flavorful and the best Puerto Rican food you can get without having to drive to Semoran or Kissimmee. Definitely will be coming back multiple times. read more

Everything was delicioso! I will be back! Portion sizes are generous, flavor is spot on, options feel limitless and you literally can't go wrong on what you order. The chef knows flavors! It's a buffet style restaurant and super friendly staff that make sure you have everything you need. My only recommendation is to have all of the buffet stations fitted for the glass that covers as much as possible because we are still want to be as safe as possible given COVID-19 so that tiny bit of extra security would be great. Otherwise, I've added this as a spot I plan to be a regular at and bring family and friends when they're in town. read more

I don't know what I can even say, I eat here 4-5 times a week. I've been going to the ones in east Orlando for years. I'm so glad they opened up here in Ocoee. Thank you for bringing a little piece of home here to central Florida read more

Best place to go , its like your eating at home. It does get a little busy for lunch but they are always quick with it so its not a long wait. read more

Love this place , food is amazing, I go at least twice a week, lines are always long but it's worth the wait.

I was so surprised by this business. I went in for lunch randomly one day because my usual lunch spots weren't open and I was just looking to support local. On entering, I was overwhelmed with choices and by default I ordered a Cuban. However, it is essentially a buffet with many ready-to-serve options that look fresh and delicious. Most other customers went for these options and I will next time for sure because they are much more convenient and smell great. But, I was committed to my Cuban sandwich ... which was awesome. The ham and pork were just perfect, not dry. And the bread was scrumptious. It was pressed on a sandwich press which made it a little crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. And the portion was spot on. Had it with a side of fries which were perfectly crispy. Honestly I think one staff member oversaw the whole process and made sure each step of putting this together was done perfectly. I will be back! read more

I absolutely love this place. It's definitely a gem of the area especially because no other like it on the west side of Orlando. I do however wish and hope they may provide some of the other great options they have in store on the Uber eats app. Which has limited options at this time. If that was the case I would be ordering EVERYDAY!!!! read more

This place is awesome. I'm from Tampa and this reminds me of home! It is set up like a cafeteria, though I think you can order from the menu as well, which means NO WAIT!!! So nourishing!!! Yum read more
