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!

It is outside though, so be prepared to swat away flies lol. I got the tamarind sticky ribs and a pork belly taco. They were both so good and had a balance of sweet and savory. The taco was refreshing as well from the watermelon! Would recommend trying that one. They also have happy hour 12-6pm for a rum based drink with juice or sodas. I believe it was $5. I got a passion fruit one and it was strong.

Review #1,048 Posted on 4.28.26…read more We came here for lunch while in town in late April, on Friday the 24th. We were hungry after drive back from rain forest El Yunque. This was one of the better meals I had while in the Carolina/San Juan area of PR. They're famous for their chicken. We tried the pork, pork spare ribs, & rotisserie chicken. We also got the sweet plantain, Puerto Rican rice too. Out of the 3-4 places I ate the rice at, this spot was the best one. The food was excellent, so tender and flavorful too. The pork fell right off of the rib bone, and the pull pork was so tender and good. The prices here are beyond fair, you can get a good amount of food for a really good price. You can tell why there was a line that was pretty long when we arrived, for sure a reputable tourist spot that no doubt holds up to their reputation.
