Lechón Latin BBQ & Bar

Fantastic lechon con cuero! The skin is crispy and the pork juicy and tender. I also had the ribs and there were truly falling off the bone! Please open a store in Cary!

Visited this spot yesterday for a double date and was excited from all the reviews and photos, but sadly it was lackluster.I got the Lechon with crispy skin, 2 sides and 2 empanadas with 2 drinks, coming to a total of $75 with tip. The crispy skin felt and tasted old, the pernil was good, latin potato salad was lacking in seasoning along with the rest of the sides we got. Empanadas were mid at best. Was really hoping for more from this spot, but I can at least check it off the list and most likely will not be returning.

I was SO excited to try Lechon but it was kind of disappointing!! The first issue was the pricing. The menu said that lechon with crispy skin and 2 sides is $16.99. But they charged me about $20 for the lechon with crispy skin and 2 sides! That is unfortunate because it's not what is listed on the menu, and also because I don't think the food justifies that higher price. The food was fine but it would be better. I enjoyed the crispy skin but the rest of the pork is just fine. The plantains were probably my favorite part. They had nice crispy edges. I also didn't really love the ambiance. The restaurant did not feel that fun and there was also hardly anyone there.

Lechon is located at the Triangle Mall. When I arrived there was only two parties inside of the business. The restaurant is spacious with many tables to sit at or stools at the counter. I placed my order at the counter & my food was brought to me after it was prepared. When I placed my order I had discount for a certain amount off for lunch & a higher amount off for dinner. I arrived at the business close to 3:30 pm. My bill was rang up with the lunch discount. I asked what time lunch was over & I was told 5pm. I have never heard a restaurant having lunch going that late. I got the ribs with beans and plantains. The ribs and beans needed more seasoning. The ribs were a little too fatty but they were tender and the bourbon sauce on them was good. I enjoyed the plantains.

The food was super tasty - at the table, we had roasted pork and empanadas as entrees. The restaurant had sold out of their chicken for the day so planning to go back sometime for that. I enjoyed the tostones and maduros were also quite good.

I was in the area having my car serviced, so decided to check it out after seeing something about the place in a magazine article. Located in a dying (dead?) mall, so first impression wasn't great. Walked in and was greeted with a health rating sign of less than 90, so I almost turned around and left. However, I was hungry and pressed for time, so tried the Lechon pork with black beans and sweet plantains. It was all pretty tasty, was pleasantly surprised. If it were in a decent location and they improved their health rating I'd probably try it again.

Located across from the Barnes & Noble at Triangle Town Center (backside of the mall). You can get in from the food court or there's an entrance outside the building as well. Employee (co-owner) was friendly and greeted us when we walked in. Opted for the 1/4 dark chicken and crispy pork with plantains and elote corn. Honestly, the sides were better than the meat. Unfortunately I thought the pork was a bit greasy and lacked flavor (probably should've gotten a sauce but I didn't like that they charge you for them). The chicken was average. Both sides were delicious though.They recently added burgers to their menu so I'd be interested in trying one.

I really wanted to like this pace. The promotion signs are beautiful. However, the food is disgusting! It's as if they boiled all of the meat! We got the lechon bbq and pork ribs and we couldn't eat it. The price was also off. I don't think I will be back but I wish them luck.

The food here was excellent. We decided to try something "different" for lunch today with our kids (ages 12 and 14) and we all ordered different items and they were all so delicious!! My son and I had the Jerk Chicken sandwich. My daughter had the lemon pepper dry rub wings. My husband had the bbq sandwich with jerk sauce and plantains. I also had tostones. I am such a fan!!! I am the mom who samples everyone's food and it was exceptional! Sergio offered amazing Service from order to departure and the Ambiance was very cool and laid back, very relaxing. If we are ever back in Raleigh, I will absolutely return to try the same or something else I wanted on their vast menu. My son asked me to add "it was amazing"!!!We had the BBQ Pork Sandwich, Jerk Chicken Sandwich, Tostones, and so much more. Please check them out!! Tell Sergio, Angela sent you!!!

Food was mid but atmosphere looks nice. But I'll have to be back to get an actual good meal hear
