We make sure to come and eat here every year when we come to Florida. So authentic and delicious. We got the yellow rice and the ropa vieja. Also had to get the plantains. My husband always gets the Cuban as well. Pressed and amazing. Would highly recommend this place. Also very reasonable and very generous portions.

Usually I don’t write or give credit to a place, unless if it is something that accomplished the these 3 items, price, portions, and the most important flavor, the rest is standard for the area, and has his space on the starts, like atmosphere,and service, it’s no luxury in here, but it’s clean, I ordered the codd salad (it was more like a codd in a vinaigret with onions and olives), but it doesn’t needed anything else it was good, and tasty, I combine this with the traditional pastel (smash green plantain wrapped in plantains leaves filled with pork) and it was delicious, also I ordered the mofongo with mariscos, en salsa criolla( Google it) and I was in shock , it was well balanced, the flavors ( wit chicharon, and garlic), the portion, the freshness of the meal, and it was packed with delicious flavors that immediately take you to the island of the Caribbean, ( in this case Puerto Rico) please go, out and try, codd salad with the pastel de platano, no regrets. Sorry but I eat all my stuff and the pictures that I took are from the place. It’s in Tampa Florida.

Absolutely amazing Puerto Rican food! The flavors were bold, authentic, and cooked perfectly. The rice was seasoned just right, the meat was tender and packed with flavor, and everything tasted homemade. You can tell they put real love into the food. Definitely one of the best Puerto Rican spots I’ve had I’ll be back for sure!

Delicious food, PR favorites. I really enjoyed this and will be back.
Dining room is small plastic tables. I ordered at counter so I don’t think they have service.

Wow, what an incredible experience! The Puerto Rican food was absolutely fantastic. Where we live, finding great Latin restaurants is nearly impossible, so this was such a treat! We enjoyed the rice and beans , sweet plantains , and pork —prepared in two different styles, both equally amazing. The flavors were rich and authentic, and we couldn’t get enough.
To top it off, I requested lime and garlic sauce on the side, and it truly elevated the meal to perfection. Everything was so well-prepared and delicious that if and when we are in the area we will stop visit. Highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a taste of Puerto Rico!

Food is always great tasting. Service, depends on who behind the counter. Too many hands and they couldn’t get our orders right. Spoke with one and the other didn’t know what to do.

Food was delicious!!! We had the mofongo. Both a seafood and chicharrón de pollo mofongo. They were incredible. I’ve eaten mofongos all over the country and this was maybe the best or at least top two. Great variety in the menu. Don’t pass up this little gem.

Terrible customer service service. Ladies at the front were rude and had a nasty attitude. Before trying to pay for my food I placed two drinks in front of them so they could charge the full meal and a drink. After paying and eating as I’m walking out the door. Two ladies decided to yell at my husband while walking out the door , that we only paid for one drink. Girl that’s not my problem or fault. You should’ve paid attention. I’ve been coming to la lechonera for years and have never had such a terrible experience. Whoever the old owners are need to return or company needs to get a new set of staff members.

We don’t go here for the atmosphere. They do have a variety of fresh foods.
Lots to choose from. Ropa vieja is great. Mofongo is nice and tender.
You’ve got to try the coconut flan. It’s amazing.

This food was the most BOUNTIFUL, VALID, AND BUSSDOWN MEAL I’ve ever had in Tampa. I was craving Dominican food and everything I ate was mouth watering and bussin. If you need a good meal you will be doing yourself a disservice by not coming here. The customer service was also so amazing and the portions are insane for the price. Just exquisite!!!! 10/10 BUSSDOWN EATS!!!!!!!!!!!!!
