Description

This gleaming Puerto Rican eatery advertises itself as a lechonera -- a roast pig specialist -- and indeed, hefty hunks of burnished pork sit in the window, alongside blood sausage, pastelitos (similar to empanadas) and fried potato fritters. The lady behind the counter will whack a great hunk of meat and skin it off for you; the meat is soft and garlicky, the skin salty and crunchy. Get the piggy on a lunch plate with rice and pigeon peas and maduros (ripe plantains sautéed until caramelized).
