Lechonera DMV

We ordered our Thanksgiving dinner from them. That's how much we love their food! Give them a try.

ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS!The lechon is melt in your mouth with crispy skin cracklin. The Chinese pork is sweet and savory and the smoke taste is amazing. I absolutely cannot wait to go back!

We got catering from Lechonera DMV for an event at my office. Let me tell you everyone was raving about the food, got seconds and wanted some to go!!! It was amazing! I'm from Puerto Rico and this just put me back on the island . I took some leftovers Guineitos to a friend and she went over within the week to checkout the foodtruck herself and try the rest of their offering with her family. Richard delivered the food himself and had everything labeled and packed very neatly. We got Lechón con Cuerito, Pavochón, Arroz con Gandules, Guineítos, and of course Tres Leches!!! Let me tell you I have tried plenty of tres leches in my life but there's is ANOTHER LEVEL of good! I'm drooling just writing this post. Go get you some!!! Highly recommend!!!!

Where to begin? The ease of ordering, the friendliness mixed with the professionalism, and the FLAVOR! I'm Cuban, so my standards for roast pork are high. These guys raised the bar. They're literally our go to when we need to order GOOD, quality, PR food. You're legit missing out if you go anywhere else.

We were so excited to try Lechonera. It became very popular in social media. We of course got the lechon plate with the sides and decided to add one piece chicken. We were disappointed with the food. The flavor was lacking for us and we expected to get that crunchy lechon skin but we didnt get any on our lechon plate.I'm definitely open and willing to try them again.

Went first day of the opening. Made it there at 12:30 for a 1pm open time and there was at least 35 people already in line. This place is in a commuter empty parking lot with a set up of some small tables, you are welcomed to bring your own along with chairs. Made to order by 1:53pn, luckily we had our own set up that prevented us from standing so long in the sun while waiting to order. My family and I, took turns standing in line. Now to the food, while the lechón pit is traditional as in Puerto Rico, there's a few fusions going on with the rest of the food items. The sweet plantain is a relish, the salad is a papaya slaw that taste a bit more like spiral cucumber salad and the dessert had some other twist to it, tembleque de piña colada (a lot on the sweet side). The staff was attentive and very customer service oriented. They made sure to browse the wait line providing the menu ahead of time and answering questions. The rice was really tasty (arroz con gandules) and the pork cooked to tenderness. The banana sweet bread was warm and tasty. The guineitos in escabeche were a bit hard but the escabeche sauce was done right. I know it was the first day but the line/ordering system needs to be expedited better. I still I tend to go back and try some ribs and other menu items. I see this as a nice spot to get your Puertorrican fix-in with lots of tradicional drinks to order from. Give it a try!

Lechonera DMV is a fantastic food truck specializing in Puerto Rican cooking. From the moment I approached the truck, it was evident that this place was a hit among locals, as it was bustling with eager customers. The salsa music is blasting and there's a joyful atmosphere. Lechonera DMV truly captures the essence of Puerto Rican cuisine, delivering authentic flavors that transport you straight to the Caribbean. The star of the show, without a doubt, is their lechón, a succulent roasted pork dish that is a staple of Puerto Rican cuisine. The meat was tender, flavorful, and expertly seasoned, leaving me craving more with every bite. It was clear that a great deal of care and expertise went into preparing this traditional dish.In addition to the mouthwatering lechón, Lechonera DMV offers a variety of other Puerto Rican specialties that are equally impressive. Their menu is filled with authentic delights that showcase the rich culinary heritage of Puerto Rico. My only complaint would be that my bowl had very little meat. I recommend ordering a side of meat since the bowl has little meat.It's worth noting that due to the sheer popularity of Lechonera DMV, the food truck can get quite busy. They are still trying to figure out their system so the food might take longer than expected. However, the wait is absolutely worth it. If you're a fan of flavorful, authentic Puerto Rican cuisine, I highly recommend visiting Lechonera DMV. The food truck embodies the spirit of family cooking, serving up delicious dishes that will satisfy your taste buds and leave you wanting more. Just be prepared for a crowd, as the popularity of this food truck is a testament to its incredible offerings.

1st, the customer service is the absolute best as they are so personable and attentive and then food, oh the food! The Chinese pork is slightly sweet yet succulent and tender while the lechonera chicken, especially the breast, is so moist its almost falling of the bone. The rice and peas are seasoned to perfection and whatever the pink sauce is should be bottled and sold by the gallon because I wanted to drink it! The green cilantro sauce is herbaceous yet light while the vinegar sauce is spicy with a kick that balances the meal perfectly! We will definitely be making the 40 minute drive weekly for more.

We noticed this food truck/bus in the Old Hechinger's commuter lot the past few weekends and saw there were pretty big crowds in the afternoon so we had to come over. Looking at the menu everything sounded so good so we knew we had to get a little of everything.They're only open on weekends so we came on a Sunday around 2:30 hoping for the best and luckily it wasn't too packed. The staff there was super friendly. They must have seen we were struggling to find a menu so one of the people who worked there handed us one and offered any help. They have a good sized menu so we opted to sample a good amount of stuff. We ordered the Plato Longaniza, a Lechon Rice Bowl, Pollo Asado (half bird), and a half portion of the batata. They were able to get the food out to us in less than 10 minutes.The food traveled well and it was a large amount so worth the price we paid. My favorite thing was the Lechon in the rice bowl. They gave a good amount of very crispy skin that can sometimes get rubbery and tough but they did it perfectly. Crispy and fatty. The bowl itself was huge and had a lot of meat.Their Longaniza had a good amount of spice and could definitely tell it was made in house. The chicken was a little drier than I would like but the piñeta hot sauce really brought a lot of flavor. The batata was good, not you're regular sweet potato and could've used more maple butter.I would definitely come back on the service alone. I would like to try some of their other foods but absolutely would come back for the Lechon and Longaniza.

Delicioso! Someone brought home their food and I didn't even warm it up, it was just delicious and I usually don't eat pork. Delicious
