Angel “Piraña” Jimenez has been serving his legendary Puerto Rican lechón, or roasted suckling pig, to the South Bronx for 20 years. He uses a traditional machete to cut his adobo-seasoned pork, before serving it with a roasted banana, pigeon pea rice, and garlic mojito sauce. Angel also makes Puerto Rican classics like beef pastelitos and shrimp mofongo.
La Piraña Lechonera is only open on the weekends, as Angel works a day job fixing air conditioning units. Originally from Aguadilla, Puerto Rico, Angel immigrated to the United States as a teenager. Now, he’s a legend of his community.

Go to la lechonera de Lares se llama Rancho T ... the pork is the tastiest lechón in the whole Island ... also they have everything you know arroz con gandules, batata, yuca , a lot of Beer Medallas ... is not so expensive and they serve you a good amount of food. They have videos on RU-vid

Listen to me. I don't do comments ever on any social media. But this Brother is the Truth. He treated me like a lost brother. Took care of me. The food is of the hook. I'm originally from 183 and Bathgate. Now I resided out of state. I saw this brother on RU-vid and decided to stop by to support and check him out. The octopus salad reminded me of my mom. Hermano God Bless. BORI PS I stopped by today 10/12/19.
