We finally checked out La Lechonera for the first time and it was an incredible experience from start to finish! The food is authentic, delicious, and a fantastic value for the price. We ordered the rice and beans along with the yuca fries, which were perfectly crispy and flavorful. We also tried the Guanábana (soursop) and Guayaba (guava) smoothies, both of which were super refreshing and clearly made with high-quality ingredients. What really set this visit apart, though, was the service. Everyone was so nice, but we especially enjoyed chatting with Brian.

Really sweet restaurant. Gives mom and pop shop and the staff is so welcoming! The atmosphere is very Puerto Rican which I love. Brian with his fellow staff members was so helpful as it was our first time visiting them. Good bank for your buck and I can’t say that often for restaurants in Boston.

“ The food here is ok , not great “ We went here today to try this place . We got the pernil , arroz , and plátano . The food was ok ( fills a hungry stomach ), but not great . The beef empanadas are good though. If we are ever in the area we will come back for those . They have a big parking lot so parking is not an issue. The staff is super friendly. The vibe is warm and welcoming.

I used too believe in the lechonera, until now. I order some lechon and banana, meat tasted old and greasy, and the steak and beens,had no flavor.
