Lechonera El Barrio

It's sad when I order chicken soup and request tostadas on the side, which is what I really want, and get white rice and a note that the soup doesn't come with tostadas. How hard is it to substitute the rice for tostadas and charge me more. Then to add to the injury I receive 2 large soups with chicken for 1 serving and noodles that I can barely see.

We brought a large group of 17 to this place and it was great for the reason that it was super fast, the items were already prepared and you could see what they were and it was family friendly. We had a few people in our group that had never had Puerto Rican food and because they could see the food on the “buffet line” they were able to make a decision without much thought or questions. Service was patient despite the children and elderly parents that were with us. It was all very authentic too with habichuelas, arroz con gandules, and lots of protein options. Music was fun and the place was super clean and bright.

Parking: Lots of parking in the front.

Kid-friendliness: Super kid friendly and easy to order

I’ve been looking for a Lechonera near by. I went for breakfast and ordered me a Mangú con los tres golpes. It was very fresh and the service was very attentive. I would like to come back for Lunchtime, the food looked very good. They also make sandwiches, ice creams and natural juices.

Walking in you don’t get a hostess welcoming you in, I had to ask how do we go about ordering the food. But the person I asked was nice. Very laid back and chill vibe if you’re the type of person to want to get some good food and eat in peace without any big crowds. Great dating atmosphere “like you haven’t had the best food til you’ve tasted my abuela’s food” type of place definitely reminds you of that.
It’s like a buffet you get to see the variety of different plates you can create depending on what you are in the mood for. So basically you get on a line and tell the lady what you want as she makes your plate for you. Let her know if it’s to go or stay if staying you’ll receive a tray and you sit anywhere you want. The food tasted amazing, the pasteles are on point 💯% definitely will recommend.

Vegetarian options: They have a variety of salads available as well

Kid-friendliness: It’s a family oriented type of place, all are welcomed.

Wheelchair accessibility: There are No steps, and they have tables that anyone with a wheel chair can sit comfortably at. so it is wheelchair accessible.

Many delays in the food, I have been in line for 15 minutes and only one girl serving cannot be like that, those of us who dine here are against time.

This place was referred to me by "La Dominicana", Faith, my hairdresser. It is my first time ordering and eating from this location. And let me tell you ..... Did not disappoint. The online experience was smooth and easy. The food arrived a little bit earlier and it was Delicious 😋🤤. Hmmm could be my new favorite location.... Thank you for great food and service.

The rice and pork was good but $11.99 for a lunch special is NOT a special.

Worse than that, the customer service from Yeniree was very poor. Not a smile or a “thank you”, only an annoyed stare. She seemed miserable.

I gave them a try to support my local community, but not with that poor service.

I’ll continue going to Key Foods (Bravos Supermarket) for my lunch and great service, which is $8.99.

What I don't like is that those who answer are reluctant and it is very difficult to communicate by phone or they hang up on you.

We all know that we are in difficult times, but this place has dropped considerably in quality/price. Now the food is up to 5 dollars more expensive than before and less portion of meat because they charge less.
