¡A comer a La Ruta del Lechón! Comida para dos por $12

"Amazing food and atmosphere!"

We visited on a Friday afternoon (around 1pm). They had live music and of course amazing food. The price was right too! We enjoyed walking down to the stream and checking out the plantain trees up close. Though no one spoke English, we didn't have any problem ordering off the handwritten menu with our limited Spanish knowledge. It was fun to see all the locals there eating, dancing and enjoying the afternoon! If you have a GPS or navigation on your phone it is easy to find. We are pretty familiar with Puerto Rico mountain driving and these roads were actually better than many we have been on, not too far off the highway, and wide enough for 2 cars! We look forward to returning and trying other restaurants in the area, though on a Friday afternoon this was definitely the most popular!

"Great experience!"

We went on a Saturday around noon and it was like a huge block party just getting started! Tons of little merchandise stands line the road, live music, and of course great food. We don't speak much Spanish and the girl taking our order didn't speak much English - but with a bit of pointing and lots of "si, por favor", we ended up with a huge amount of food (easy to order way too much if you're not careful!). The pork was great, rice and beans were super yummy, tamales were good, and I loved the sweet plantains too. We were driving from Rincon to Ceiba and took a detour for this - it was definitely worth the drive. Super fun experience!
