Lechonera El Barrio Restaurant

The food is amazing! The alcapurria was delicious, and the beef empanada is the best I have had in a long while! Both fried to order and tasted so fresh. My husband had the rice with gandules, pernil, yuca and maduros. They offered cuerito, which was crunchy to perfection! Of course I had to taste it all. The owners are also super nice. Many other choices in the menu we could not eat this time so we'll be back soon.

I had come here a few months ago and fell in love with their empanadas and green sauce. I was trying to catch them again while here for thanksgiving and they were closed. Monday before I left back to NC they were still not open but the lady happened to be outside asked her and she was so kind and got me some empanadas to go. Really went out of her way for me to get some ready for me take some with me on my drive.

What a great find! First time here, but it won't be the last time. Warm, friendly greeting and we were served by the owner Enrique.Food was delicious, fresh and flavorful. I eat yuca a lot. This was by far the best I've had. Seasoned perfectly. Will be coming back for the yuca frita! ?Portions were great, senior discount was nice too! Thank you for a great meal!

I come here very often however today my portion was much smaller than usual. I’d say about half. Prices have gone up which is understandable but the portions have gone smaller for sure. Not enough food for the 10.99 they charge. Sad to see this place go downhill

We “took out” last night Friday 2/10/23. First time here and definitely will not be the last. I have been all over Latin America … the food at Lechonera El Barrio was not only great but enough for another meal today.
