Lechonera El Barrio Restaurant

Very one of the best places to go to , staff is super attentive and very friendly, place has good seating but most people are to go orders , the food is off the hook , only the best taste and fresh , great Latin food to stop by

I got a delivery order from here and the food was absolutely delicious + they do a wonderful job at packing everything with care. For my main order I got a small combo with pernil, arroz con guandules, and mangú. The meal was affordable and the portions are huge. I enjoyed some cuts of the pernil more than other parts, but overall the combo was really flavorful and incredibly filling. I also tried their relleno de papa, pastel de guava, and one of their passion fruit juices. The relleno was yummy and not too greasy. The passion fruit juice was sweet and refreshing, pairing well with the meal. The pastel de guava was also very flaky with a good amount of guava filling. Overall, I was happy with my food! Definitely a good place to check out to get good food for a good value.

I've been here many times, just yesterday, so it's overdue for a review! A quick serve restaurant, order at the line and for $8.99 you get a hearty portion of a protein and two sides. I added one more side of maduros. Yesterday, I went with their roasted pork, yellow rice, pinto beans, and plantains. Delicious! This is a home cooked meal with depth of flavor and seasonings. A really great value! I can't think of any fast food option cheaper for this kind of quality! A variety of latin soft drinks and the American usual. They also have a case full of sweet treats for dessert. The staff was friendly and even let my husband sample the chiccharron before he ordered it. Note they also deliver via Doordash. I've ordered this way also, and they didn't skimp on the portion or quality delivered either. Inside? Pretty basic. Clean. About 15 tables inside and seating outside as well. One small no was I noticed a couple tables needed a wipe down. The bathroom was clean and updated. Overall, it is a great value, and you will leave full with likely leftovers. It's not a fancy date place, but my date prefers good food and a lot of it! Recommend!

Great selection of latin food and pastries. Always fresh. Food options are constantly changing. Crowded a lot of the times that I have visited. Fast and friendly service. Food taste is 4/5. Rather loud dining area due to so many patrons dining inside. I always dine inside due to my 2.5 hour drive. I have been here 5 times in last 2 years.

I was I the mood for Puerto Rican food while in Winter Park in Florida for business. I found this spot immediately and drove up to it. When you find a place that has the cafeteria style service, especially Latin food it's probably going to be good. If you know Puerto Rican food then you know of the many options, I can honestly say they had it all, I ordered arroz con habituales and cuajito (yellow rice with kidney beans with pork chunks and Latin style stewed pig instestine better know as chitlins) Don't knock it until you try it! Honestly the food was fresh and ridiculously tasty. I know Criollo cuisine rather well after being raised on it. The variety of different foods was just amazing, the service was fast and quick, the portions were really large and the price, two of us ate for under $23.00!!!I intend to return before leaving Florida.I highly recommend this place.

Lechonera El Barrio Restaurant is a fantastic option for a meal if you are on Semoran Boulevard. It is not far from where Semoran meets with East Colonial Drive. The staff was extremely friendly and helped me navigate through their long line of food offerings. The food is placed behind glass and served by a friendly staff. There is nothing fancy about here, it has a long row of food offerings and a few tables. I chose to sit at a table outside after i received my food in a styrofoam takeout container. But the food is very good and I enjoyed a pleasant enough atmosphere, though the music was a bit loud.I opted to go with the perils, which is a pork dish. The lunch special came with rice and plantains. I also went with a papa rellena, which is a potato ball with meat inside. Both were very good. The total for this was just over ten dollars before a tip.All in all, this was a very good lunch. I would definitely recommend here and I give it five stars.

I visited last Saturday and the food was delicious. I ordered Oxtail in a stew with Guineitos ( Green bananas) and Pegao ( the crunchy rice at bottom of pot ) , my wife ordered Arroz con Gandules and pernil (roast pork) . Oxtail stew was on point the seasoning was perfect and the portion was huge. The pernil was very tasty and arroz con gandules was one of the best I had, they only issue I had is the I like my pernil cut up in slices and they serve it shredded, the cuerito was a little too hard. Otherwise the food is fantastically delicious. Again the portions are huge. I definitely recommend and will return soon.

Visited to grab a family meal, and it exceeded expectations with its generous portions of meat, rice, and plantains. The staff was incredibly friendly and helpful! The layout made it easy to see all their selections. The food itself was truly satisfying, and the portions were so ample that we enjoyed delicious leftovers for a couple of days.

We went here as a large group. The food was pretty delicious and it was reasonably priced. They had good drink specials too.

Always delicious, huge portions, and so many options to choose from! Love this location specifically for the huge variety of options on their buffet, they offer way more than the other Lechoneras in town. Food is always delicious and just like homemade, never had a bad meal from here. My favorite is the pastelon and codito salad
