La Lechonera

Confusing but worth it. All the food is on display with tv screens of the menu and other information. I docked one star just because I think the food on display could use some labeling. La Lechonera has the best chicharron on this side of town! Juicy, crunch, and savory...it had me and my significant other arguing over the last bite. My box of food was only about $14 and it lasted me two meals. Rice, meat, and plantains were all delicious. I would 100% come back to try other items.

When you walk right in, it's open and right in front of the ordering line to get your food. Very clean and modern set up. The staff was quick to take your order and did not rush you. The portions are massive! I have enough food to last me for 2-3 days. I love Puerto Rican food so I was super excited to try this place out. I went through the line pretty quick, for what you pay for, price range from $8-$15 for a combo depending on the kind of meat you ask for. Combo consist of your rice, meat, and a side. I had to have multiple sides and I needed crunch from the chicharrón.There is not a lot of seating, so first come first serve. 10/10 would definitely come again. Food was fresh, very generous, and great pricing.

There is plenty of seating space. The tables have napkins. This is a Cafeteria Style restaurant. They have a wide variety of Puerto Rican Food. They had a whole roasted pig. Get their around noon on the weekend to get that fresh. It was pretty picked over at 4 pm. The tables were kept pretty clean but could have been better. The Arroz con Gandules was delicious. The roast pork shoulder (pernil) was excellent. Also, the Bistec Encebollado (Steak with Onions) was tender and tasty. For drinks they have some bottled beer and a variety of sodas.

As a Puerto Rican, I am always so happy to eat authentic Spanish food, and lechonera is just that! There is a plethora of food to choose from. A variety of different rices, meats, sides and even some bakery items as well. The service is good, and the portions are even better.They close at 8pm, and I would recommend you come earlier, because the closer to closing time it is the less options they have available. Lechonera will always be a go to favorite of mine

Am a frequent visitor here cause for the amount of food variations and price you just can't go wrong. To many choices from chicken, beef, seafood and many choices of rice style.I enjoy on chilling days sancocho soup . The girls are always friendly and fast with preparation of meals. The ambience is loud due to many customers being served. This is a buffet setting but you ask what you like and they serve it for you. Price here is under $11.00

Clean , courteous service, Generous Portion and Huge selection.$9.95 Lunch specials all day from 7:00 am to 8:00 pm

Love the new Lechonera location in Altamonte Springs! Their other location on East Colonial is great as well but always extremely busy. This cafeteria-style restaurant has all your Latin favorites. I ordered the pastelon - essentially a Latin lasagna using plantains for noodles, ground beef, and cheese. Delicious! You get alot for your money here, servings are large. Great for a family. Enjoy!

Food was delicious and this place was very clean. Staff was awesome and I would definitely recommend this place anytime!

very disappointed. Went in and asked for five ham and cheese sandwiches. The lady in the counter told me in advance that it will take 15 to 20 minutes, which I totally understand they were just opening. sadly, when they handed the sandwiches over, I could immediately tell that they were not properly done, the ham was cold. The cheese was cold and the bread was semi toasted so in other words, I waited almost 30 minutes and because they were in a hurry, they literally just gave me bread, ham and cheese without properly taking the time to ensure the food was hot. There's nothing worse than to expect a good ham and cheese sandwich from Hispanic place and to getit cold. My biggest issue as an ex restaurant owner many years ago is that the person who prepare these new exactly what they were doing and this is why a lot of Hispanic places stay at the level that they're at unfortunately I won't be coming in anymore into this place

Honestly I never have high expectations for these types of places but dang, this one is perfect! The food was delicious and large servings and the price was great for what we got. I will definitely be back!!!
