Run by Angel Jimenez and taken over from his parents, he works a day job on the weekdays and runs this trailer to serve up whole pigs on the weekend just to spread the love and deliciousness of Puerto Rican-style lechon, or whole roasted suckling pig. Portions are huge, plus he also has other delicious foods he sells and offers tastings of (rice and beans, shrimp, etc.). Cash only. He's super friendly and unmistakable because he wields a machete to cut the pigs. Always a line!
The best lechon in the bronx. The wait is a little long. But its wort the wait.
I’m certain that most people who drive by this corner / intersection have a hard time understanding why it’s around noon and there’s a line of about 50 people waiting for a food truck to open for business, me included. But take my word for it as soon you take the first bite and your taste buds take a swim in all those authentic Puerto Rican flavors / seasonings you will fully understand and long line. This is food porn at it’s best, both in flavor and presentation....read full review

Lechonera La Piraña offers an authentic Puerto Rican dining experience, with delicious lechon (roast pork) and a welcoming atmosphere. Customers praise the food, describing it as the "best lechon in the Bronx" and feeling a sense of nostalgia for their grandparent's lechonera in Puerto Rico. This place is a cultural experience, with a street food-like setting. Customers recommend bringing beers and chairs, as there may be a long wait to enjoy the authentic Puerto Rican cuisine, including the renowned rice and lechon that evoke memories of the island. The friendly owner offers samples, including pernil, and serves huge portions of whole pigs on the weekend, along with rice and beans, shrimp, arroz con gandules, camarones, and ensalada de pulpo.
