"Cuban barbecue spots are generally very casual takeout spots, but La Esquina Del Lechon is a sit-down restaurant serving up whole lechon asado every week, Wednesday through Saturday. And even though they aren’t technically in Hialeah, they deserve to be an honorary member because they’re close enough and the pork is so damn good. It’s roasted in the traditional Caja China, seasoned with homemade mojo, and served in a huge portion that comes fresh off the hog. The meat is juicy and tender but still has a layer of crispy skin. Pair it with some mojo-slathered yuca and platanos maduros. " - yuliet llanes
