    I had a very different experience than the other review. We went in to an empty restaurant with heat tables full of food that had clearly been there for hours. They don't have a menu and when you ask what they have they kind of point and lift covers. I wanted the pork because it was the entire reason to go there. My fiance and I got dramatically different portion sizes and parts. I got a huge hunk of skin, he didn't have any. None of the meat was recognizable and had cartilage and none edible parts running through it. The taste was ok but not spectacular. The rice was dry and flavorless. We tried some kind of meat stuffed empanada like item while we waited. It was dripping with grease and had no taste. We choked it down to be polite. While the owner seemed nice I don't think they get enough business to have the food turn over and be the quality I would want to go back.

    La Lechonera Cafe is just like the 'lechoneras' in Puerto Rico. Lechonera is a cafeteria style restaurant where pork roast is made. This place is great! They season the pork roast just like the best in the island and cooked on a charcoal spit. The pork roast is made fresh on Saturdays. They have a rather large menu, but my suggestion is you stick to the specials for the day. Enjoy!

    I have not been in Boston for awhile and the other place I like to to eat wasn't open. So I found this on the Internet and decided to give it a try the owners are friendly I was a little confused when I walked in because I could tell they weren't Puerto Rican. But regardless they were very friendly and they had lechon which I haven't had in a very long time so I got that with white rice and beans my son and my husband also got plates. The Bistec was kind of dry the portion of food is way to small for the price. I think more food will justify the price, we had 3 plates 2 pastelillos a alcapuria and 3 drinks and total was $40. The price isn't the problem like I mentioned it's the quantity of food I think I was serving a 5 year old. Lechon was good and the chicharron were good but based on amount of food I wouldn't come back, I will only come back to get lechon to go that's it.

    Pork roast was real good! Red beans were great. Would definitely go back, my girlfriend really like the beef stew and the service was strong.

    My star rating is not quite what I will now articulate. As far as the service, ambiance & the food I'd give the Lechonera between 4-4 1/2. The price/portion ratio could be more generous to the seemingly, working class clientele that frequents the restaurant at times I am there.

    This is by far my favorite Puerto Rican spot in the Boston area. I pick this over Vejigantes in S End any day. Cafeteria style place with the most freshest food. I felt like I was in piñones when I ate that alcapurria. So amazing. The mofongo is delish! Completely recommend

    This is the second time we've eaten at the café - both times really enjoyed our lunch meal. The pernil (I was told this is roasted leg or shoulder part of the pig) was tender and juicy. The lechon (I was told rib and belly part of the pig) was equally juicy. Both meats could have used a bit more garlic. We also ordered a mofongo with garlic sauce - it was freshly made and with just the right amount of garlic - delicious. This place serves very good Puerto Rican food. The food is unpretentious and is cheap. We had 1/2 Lb of pernil, 1/2 Lb of lechon, yellow rice, mofongo, fried yucca, and papa rellena, for under $30. Though I still miss the lechon that is served in restaurants in Guavate or at Bebo's Café near San Juan airport, this place is the closest thing to that in Boston. In Bronx, we like El Nuevo Bohio.

    I love this place! Food is always fresh and really tasty. Really nice family. I go about 2x a month for lunch.

    One of my favorite places! A cafeteria style restaurant. Their real gold is their roast pork. It goes by quickly so you should call and place the order over the phone.

    Despite the premade food I found it, the fried chicken in particular, very good. I'm big on service and found the employees very polite and friendly. I'm def going back to try the other options.

    New owners! Nice no-frills sit down or take out restaurant with home style cooking. Garlic shrimp, yucca with sauteed onions, bacalao (cod) and chicken stew to die for. Owners are remodeling, and some Peruvian dishes will be added to the menu.
