Lechonera La Isla offers authentic Puerto Rican cuisine with friendly staff and a variety of dishes. The owner's personal touch is evident in the cooking, highlighting traditional favorites like pernil and plátanos maduro. Customers appreciate the flavorful food, especially the lechón plate, which is filling and affordable, often enough for two. The restaurant primarily focuses on take-out, with limited seating and parking can be a challenge. The cozy atmosphere is complemented by the warm, welcoming service of the owners, who are also the chefs. Some dishes like arroz con gandules may be bland, and the pernil can sometimes be dry or chewy if kept under heat lamps, but overall, it remains a popular spot for authentic Puerto Rican food. Cash is required, and customers are encouraged to ask for the spicy vege/pico to enhance the flavors. The restaurant is a great place to enjoy traditional Puerto Rican dishes in a friendly environment, with a special emphasis on the delicious lechón and other local favorites.
