The Lechón King of the South Bronx | Street Food Icons

  • Angel “Piraña” Jimenez has been serving his legendary Puerto Rican lechón, or roasted suckling pig, to the South Bronx for 20 years. He uses a traditional machete to cut his adobo-seasoned pork, before serving it with a roasted banana, pigeon pea rice, and garlic mojito sauce. Angel also makes Puerto Rican classics like beef pastelitos and shrimp mofongo.
    La Piraña Lechonera is only open on the weekends, as Angel works a day job fixing air conditioning units. Originally from Aguadilla, Puerto Rico, Angel immigrated to the United States as a teenager. Now, he’s a legend of his community.

      Shitting on 3 (5?) stars restaurants implying that people there don't cook from the heart.

      I can see the goodness of 5star places, but I'm not really into the type of food they serve. I want some good old "rib stickin" food I can eat all I want for a decent price. I would prefer beans over rice with chopped onion over faux gras.

      ​@@Minoritynomad It depends. Some Michelin's 3 stars restaurants are all about the experience, more than the food itself. Some would call it pretentious though.

    Este tipo es un DURO. Conozco a tantas personas aquí (myself included) en Puerto Rico que comerían frecuentemente en un food truck como este.
    Se nota que tiene mucha energía y pasión para su comida, PR need's more people like this dude, man...

      Go to la lechonera de Lares se llama Rancho T ... the pork is the tastiest lechón in the whole Island ... also they have everything you know arroz con gandules, batata, yuca , a lot of Beer Medallas ... is not so expensive and they serve you a good amount of food. They have videos on TH-cam

      D. Feliciano dude. Do you know how many amazing chefs open a restaurant and fail? It’s nothing to do with the food but everything to do with the fact that a restaurant is a money pit! I wish him all the best in his ventures, I believe that his delicious food and sense of community is perfect in a food truck, maybe with more locations. How are you going to feed the homeless when tou got a crazy rent to pay, employees to pay, taxes, water, gas, electricity, not to mention health and safety trying to shut you down? chef David Chang has a great podcast where he talks about how challenging opening a restaurant is.
