Concepto en vagones bien hecho. - la mesera fue simpática, atenta y sincera -comida buena y bien presentada Puntos a mejorar: - el piso del área de las mesas es en piedra. Lo cual puede propiciar tropiezos - el baño de los hombres no tenía papel para secarse las manos ni secador de manos -mejorar la logística en la cocina. La comida demoró mucho en ser servida. Algunos de los complementos salieron fríos. Exceptuando Los aperitivos que salieron en poco tiempo y calientes. En término general, la pasamos muy bien. Los precios de los platos no son baratos. El lugar es para pasarla y disfrutar con calma y sin prisa.

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!

Fuimos un domingo para almorzar. No estaba muy lleno. Pedimos el tentáculo de pulpo para empezar. El pulpo estaba bueno. Vino acompañado de los platanares cortados largos (no acuerdo como le llaman). Para el plato principal me fui con la recomendación de la mesera. Ella me sugirió el cerdo ahumado, que al parecer es el plato que mas vende, aunque se venden como la casa del pollo ahumado. Lo pediátrica con arroz congri y yuca. Mi esposa se pidió el jarrete de cordero guisado con arroz y habichuelas y amarillos. Me gustó el arroz y la yuca. El cerdo estaba bueno aunque un poco seco. Estaba cubierto de un glaseado dulce. A mi esposa no le gusto mucho. A mi si. Me recordó de cerdo agridulce chino. Sin embargo no me encanto el plato. No se porque es popular. No fue para mi... vamos a dejarlo así. El jarrete estaba bien rico.
