El Lechon de Negron

Caught them at the Just Jersey food truck festival last weekend. Tried the chicken empanadas and they were pretty good. Nice size portions etc, however, it was the start of the event and the truck had no sour cream. That's literally the one thing we eat these with, so they offered us a similar version of sour cream with some kind of crema mixed in, but it was too spicy for my kid, so she wasn't a fan and therefore, couldn't finish her food. I def think SC is something the truck making Latin food should keep on hand! It's pretty common.

I stopped by their food truck at the Food Truck Festival at the Paramus Park Mall today and was very happy with the Lechon Burger. It was one of the best burgers I have ever had. The patty was flavorful, not greasy, tasted unique, and was cooked perfectly. The addition of the ground chorizo definitely gives this patty a unique flair that regular burgers just don't have. The bun was high quality, white American cheese perfectly melted, and the onions fresh. I had them hold off on the mayo-ketchup spread, but did try their mayo-ketchup-garlic spread and their hot sauce on the side. Both condiments are really good. I dislike anything with ketchup, but found that their mayo-ketchup-garlic spread was really good and mixed very nicely. Their hot sauce had just the right amount of heat and flavor

This place obviously caught my attention due to its name. It’s our families last name as well. The service I have to say could use a little work I understand it gets busy and they were overwhelmed so perhaps that’s where the rude snappy comments came from. The food is so great you’d want to come again. For me it’s almost a two hour drive but I’d make the trip again for the authenticity of this food. I have to say the wait is very long so unless you’re a patient person don’t come here. If you order make sure you order everything with the people taking your food order which means even icees or beverages. I literally got snapped at by the cash rep for asking for an icee while I was paying. He said he would let it slide because it’s my first time there but that he needed to train me for the ne

This is a hidden compact gem in Union. When you’re in the mood for Hispanic authentic Puerto Rican food, then say no more. Family vibe. Top notch Spanish flavors!! And when you think it’s over. The deserts are your after lunch/dinner delight. One word “amazing”. Remember to order ahead. If you are lucky, you will find an empty seat take it.

I love this place because of how much they care about maintaining a consistent quality of food and at good price. For that reason I will not allow my frustration to hurt their ratings on Google. But it is truly selfish & borderline egotistical for any food establishment to close their doors 3 days out of the week. Even the most boujie restaurants in New York close 2 days maximum. It was not long ago that this place was a food truck trying to figure out their success strategy. And now that they have a storefront? It seems they are too “full of themselves” to cater to the people more than 4 nights a week. It’s disappointing. I hope the owner goes see this and hopefully opens his doors at least an additional day per week. The amount of money some people, as well as myself spend there, just
