Lechon Latin BBQ & Bar

Amazing flavors! A must try if you are in the area! Daniel helped us decide what to eat and was enthusiastic about the food. The lobby and seating area were decorated nicely, clean, and spacious. The Roasted Chicken was delicious and rich, and the Cuban sandwich was an authentic rendition of a traditional recipe done very well. The adobo fries are tastey too, especially after a few Modelos. We do recommend you try it and we will be returning when in Raleigh!

Their food was delicious, the only thing I would improve is if they had someone to take your order instead of ordering at the counter. That Lechón (roasted pulled pork ) was top notch the fact they serve you a piece of crunchy skin and not fat was great. It transported back to Puerto Rico 🇵🇷I enjoyed the rice and peas and they serve a yellow sauce for the green, crispy, giant plantains 🫓 that is really good with a hint of spice. The empanadas are okay 😔 I expected more flavor in the beef but the pork ones did not disappoint. It was worth the 3 hour drive from SC. Wait also those huge crunchy tostones hit the spot.Mojito was okay too.

We came in for lunch, and it did not disappoint. The staff were very friendly and gave their recommendations on best dishes. My Cuban sandwich was amazing. I’d definitely recommend you eat here if in the Triangle Town area.

Always a positive when restaurant menus and dishes are consistent with taste, flavors and mainly prepared culturally authentic! Ease of ordering, appreciated staff recommendations, fresh made-to-order. Thanks for staying true to the flavor of lechon!!

Let me start by saying that I'm 100% puertorican raised in Arecibo, PR. With that perspective in mind, I went to this restaurant, not even knowing that it was inside the mall. I just happened to be shopping, got hungry, saw it there and went in. The atmosphere is ok. The restaurant was clean and nice looking. You have to order your food at the counter before sitting down. The menu had alot of choices and the prices were decent, not too high but not cheap either. Had the lechón, (pulled pork), with white rice, red beans and maduros, (sweet plantains). Also ordered a Medalla beer. They gave me a little stand with a number. Asked for the beer to be brought out to my table when the food gets delivered to a table of my choosing. My food came out between 10 and 15 minutes of waiting at my table, not too bad. The employees were very courteous. The pulled pork had a layer of crispy skin on top that was crunchy and tasty. The pork itself tasted great, not bland, spicy hot or salty. Just the right flavor. The sweet plantains were fried but not greasy at all. They were pretty dark, not burnt, which is exactly how I like my sweet plantains to be. Now the rice and beans I did not expect to be the highlight of my entree, but good lord, it was great, tasty and the craziest part is that I hardly even like beans. I definitely recommend this restaurant to anybody in the Raleigh/Durham area. It is right up there with Carmen's Cuban Cafe in presentation of the food and flavor. It is a tie for me since I've been going to Carmen's for years and I just found out about this place today. The only issue I had is that I wish they had a building of their own and not be in the mall. But then again Cheesecake Factory and PF Chang are in a mall also. Not the same mall though.

Lechon BBQ was an amazing restaurant. Everything was good from the tasty margaritas to the lechon meal. The owner was extremely welcoming and the food was recieved quickly and nice and fresh. I definitely recommend trying them out.

If you’re a true BBQ lover, you absolutely can’t miss the roasted pork here. Juicy, perfectly seasoned, and infused with that classic smoky flavor that only comes from time, care, and tradition. The skin is crispy and golden, just the way it should be, while the meat is so tender it practically melts in your mouth. The atmosphere is warm and authentic, with that Southern charm that makes you feel right at home. Whether you’re grabbing a plate or going all out with a full spread, this place takes lechón BBQ to the next level. 100% recommended for anyone craving real flavor and an unforgettable experience. I’ll definitely be back!

We visited Lechon for lunch last week. We had been wanting to go ever since we first heard about it, and it truly exceeded our expectations. We had the 2 Meat Plate with Lechon Crispy Skin, BBQ Ribs, Fried Sweet Plantains, and Lechon Rice. The two of us shared a plate, and we still brought leftovers home. The food and service were fantastic - so much so that our friends have already returned for a second visit! We highly recommend Lechon. We will be back! Thank you so much for the wonderful dining experience!

Soooo delicious! As a Cuban, this is the REAL DEAL. Authentic flavors and plates with an American twist. This place is awesome - it's a must try. The tostones were some of the best I have had ever and the lechón sandwich is to die for.

I am from Brazil so was very excited to try this place. Food came quick, and it tasted so good. You order at the bar and food comes to you later. Nice ambiance as well!

I was SO excited to try Lechon but it was kind of disappointing!! The first issue was the pricing. The menu said that lechon with crispy skin and 2 sides is $16.99. But they charged me about $20 for the lechon with crispy skin and 2 sides! That is unfortunate because it's not what is listed on the menu, and also because I don't think the food justifies that higher price. The food was fine but it would be better. I enjoyed the crispy skin but the rest of the pork is just fine. The plantains were probably my favorite part. They had nice crispy edges. I also didn't really love the ambiance. The restaurant did not feel that fun and there was also hardly anyone there.

Lechon is located at the Triangle Mall. When I arrived there was only two parties inside of the business. The restaurant is spacious with many tables to sit at or stools at the counter. I placed my order at the counter & my food was brought to me after it was prepared. When I placed my order I had discount for a certain amount off for lunch & a higher amount off for dinner. I arrived at the business close to 3:30 pm. My bill was rang up with the lunch discount. I asked what time lunch was over & I was told 5pm. I have never heard a restaurant having lunch going that late. I got the ribs with beans and plantains. The ribs and beans needed more seasoning. The ribs were a little too fatty but they were tender and the bourbon sauce on them was good. I enjoyed the plantains.

Went in on Saturday night....prices were decent, food was a bit of a letdown. Pulled pork was not very flavorful. Chicken was dry. Service was meh. The guy at the counter looked like he had seen better days. Definitely didn't have a very welcoming atmosphere. One and done. Would not recommend based on this visit.

Lechón offers "pan-Caribbean" Latin fusion which is a little PR, Dominican, Cuban and even Argentinian rolled into one. The atmosphere is nice, although it's located in the dying remains of a mall. Drinks were good, made nice and strong, although I wished we can during some sort of happy hour, as they added $20 to price of our meal. The food itself was decent enough, I really like the flavor of the pulled chicken and the lechón rice was great. Portions were lackluster, I could've paid $20 less elsewhere and had leftovers. Overall, I don't think this type of cuisine works as mid-range suburban mall food, give me grungy strip mall with twice the portions for $20 less.

Located across from the Barnes & Noble at Triangle Town Center (backside of the mall). You can get in from the food court or there's an entrance outside the building as well. Employee (co-owner) was friendly and greeted us when we walked in. Opted for the 1/4 dark chicken and crispy pork with plantains and elote corn. Honestly, the sides were better than the meat. Unfortunately I thought the pork was a bit greasy and lacked flavor (probably should've gotten a sauce but I didn't like that they charge you for them). The chicken was average. Both sides were delicious though. They recently added burgers to their menu so I'd be interested in trying one.

The food here was excellent. We decided to try something "different" for lunch today with our kids (ages 12 and 14) and we all ordered different items and they were all so delicious!! My son and I had the Jerk Chicken sandwich. My daughter had the lemon pepper dry rub wings. My husband had the bbq sandwich with jerk sauce and plantains. I also had tostones. I am such a fan!!! I am the mom who samples everyone's food and it was exceptional! Sergio offered amazing Service from order to departure and the Ambiance was very cool and laid back, very relaxing. If we are ever back in Raleigh, I will absolutely return to try the same or something else I wanted on their vast menu. My son asked me to add "it was amazing"!!! We had the BBQ Pork Sandwich, Jerk Chicken Sandwich, Tostones, and so much more. Please check them out!! Tell Sergio, Angela sent you!!!

Second time here and I really wanted to order the pork rice bowl because it was SO good last time but I changed it up and ordered the 1 meat platter -- pork, red beans and plantains. Delicious and good portion size. I took my mom with me this time. She likes pretty basic food but she really liked her pork sandwich and fries. I tried her fries -- they were delish. Again the place was almost empty! People, please visit this place so it stays open.

Had the Cubano and it was very good, great service. I did have difficult time finding it, not realizing it was in the mall. Overall great experience

Disappointing lechon. Even the one with the crispy skin is pulled pork versus chopped (if I want pulled pork I'll get NC barbecue). The best food in the menu is the fried plantains. Worst, there's no table service, you order up front. Place reminds me of a "nice" resto inside an airport. Unfortunately, there's no second time for me.

This was my first time visiting Lechon and I'll definitely be back. I'd consider this a huge hidden gem in Raleigh. When you get there, note that's it's inside triangle town center but has its own entrance right outside the mall. You order at the register and then they bring your food out to you, which is important to know so you're just not sitting at your booth confused. Service was pretty straightforward, the cashier and server was managing most of the front of the house and making drinks. It was fine because it was fairly slow and close to closing so they wait was not long at all. I ordered a passion fruit mojito and it was by far one of the best mojitos I've had on the east coast. I asked for the signature dishes and decided to order then. I ordered the lechon pernil with garlic sauce with the elote salad and lechon rice. Everything was so well seasoned and delicious! The garlic sauce was amazing and added a perfect additional flavor to the meat. I also got the churros for dessert and they were so good! They had a little filling as well which was a surprise. I can't recommend this place enough!

Everything tasted great except coleslaw which tasted rotten to me. Yucca fries delicious. Chicken great but small portion. Price was right.

This was surprisingly good. Way too good to be in a *mall*. Ambiance was friendly, and warm, and the manager was very nice explaining everything and supplying suggestions. The pork was good, which is saying something in NC, and but the real star of my visit was the rice. The rice by itself would get 10/10. I also had a mojito which was nice, though the mint was julienned so fine, it caught up in my straw cause that's how I drink them.

1st time here and it won't be my last. My GPS didn't get me there so I called to find the exact location. It's in the Triangle Town Center directly across from the Barnes & Noble. I looked over the menu and wanted to order like 7 different things but for this first visit, I stuck with the half chicken & ribs combo and 2 empanadas. Those empanadas were amazing! So amazing that I wanted to order 2 more to go. I tried the pulled pork and the jerk chicken ones. The pulled pork ones were my fave! The chicken and ribs were also pretty tasty. The ribs were so tender. All in all, one of the best meals I've had in awhile. I am looking forward to going back and trying some more items off of the menu.

Amazing food and hospitable owner. Latin family owned and run. Highly recommend the pork rib, but everything from the sweet plantains to the yuca was cooked perfect. They even had some rare finds like inca cola and Guaraná to drink. Will definitely be returning

First time visiting this place last weekend and it didn't disappoint. It was pretty spacious in the restaurant and you go to the counter and order and they bring the food right out to you. I got the jerk chicken sandwich with sweet plantains , those were amazing as usual. The jerk sandwich was pretty big and packed with chicken. It could've been a bit more spicy but it was good overall. There menu had a lot of different options and they had a bar too. Will have to check this spot out again in the future.

Worked out of town today and wanted something local. This was down the street from where I was on the side of the mall. I ordered the 1/4 dark meat, two sides which, I picked sweet plantains & fried Yuca. I LOVE Latinx food, so I will definitely eat whenever I get the chance. The chicken was well seasoned and hot, the yuca was nice, hot and crispy. The Plantains were perfectly sweet and soft just like, I love them. It's a nice sized restaurant which plenty of space and room for groups. I was able to place my order quickly and received my food fast and hot!

Had high hopes for this place after reading the reviews. I ordered the half chicken and ribs. I must say the ribs, which are pork, we're really tender and fell off the bone. I wish I could say the same about the chicken, but it was extremely dry like it had been sitting around for a while and just reheated. Even the dark meat was dry which was shocking! I ordered a side of coleslaw and a side salad with the meal, the coleslaw was actually pretty tasty, the salad had a lot of rotted leaves in it so I didn't eat much of that. I might come back to this place to give it a second chance, maybe order one of their burgers which looks good. And I think I would stick with fries next time.

Came here after seeing posts online. It is part of a mall so don't be surprised about parking & location. You order at the counter and go sit down where they bring the food to you. The service was nice and the food was good! It reminded us to food we had in Puerto Rico. The ambiance is chill, very relaxing and casual.

I went to Lechón for a date night offer with offline. This is located within Triangle Town Center Mall with an external entrance as well. Please note when gps says you have arrived you do not immediately see it. We walked in and a sign with a menu qr code and instructions was there to let us know to browse, figure our order, then order before being seated. This is an exhaustive menu as displayed online and we weren't sure what we wanted but we were quickly helped by Elizabeth who took our orders. We ordered a 1/4 chicken (they only had white meat) with a half rack of ribs, rice and adobo fries and a Lechón Burger (burger, pulled pork, and coleslaw). We ordered drinks and were given a number to go sit either inside or the patio. As the patio was a bit crowded we chose inside. The inside was casual but nice (ref pictures below) but it was so unbelievably warm inside. It got a bit uncomfortable and I began to understand why everyone was eating outside. Our food was brought to us and the chicken was perfectly seasoned but a bit overcooked and dry. The ribs were good nothing outstanding but definitely no complaints. The rice was a bit mushy and the adobo fries were good. The pulled pork was a bit fatty but good, I imagine if tossed in the jerk sauce it would be amazing. The burger was your typical burger but still good. Overall the food was decent and so was the service. Will possibly try again.

From the entrees to the sides, Lechon knows what they're doing!! The ribs are tender, moist, flavorful, & fall right off the bone. The lechón is on point; also tender & moist with a spicy kick. And the skin, crunchy and delicious. For sides we tried the Cole slaw, Elote, potato salad, and plantains. Again, all delicious! Service is why the 4 stars. I think they should have table service instead of ordering from the front. The vibe inside is hip and modern.

I will say, my first impressions upon walking in at Lechón, I I was a little worried. The staff stood at the counter talking amongst themselves for several minutes before anyone came to take our order. Even though the service was not great, I can't give this food a lower rating than 5 stars, because it was that good. I got the lechón with crispy skin and it was a sizable portion of a classic Spanish roasted pork. No sauce needed (but it is available if you decide you want it) and there is so much flavor packed in. Not dry at all, and still managed to maintain those crispy bits throughout. The elote salad was a large portion (are we noticing a trend here?) and overall very solid. I wish the mayonnaise/creamy part of the elotes would've been a bit thicker and helped the salad mesh together. I also ordered the fried yuca because it's one of my favorite sides in the world, and it was perfectly cooked with that zippy cilantro sauce we know and love. The carnitas tacos highlighted the succulent pork with a light salsa and a dusting of queso fresco - not much else is needed. This meat can hold its own. So much flavor. Look for the red umbrellas outside Triangle Town Center Mall, beside of Barnes and Noble. It's not clearly visible from all areas of the parking lot (lessons were learned) but no doubt, Lechón delivered!!

Wow! This was the best Cuban sandwich I've had outside of Florida! Seriously amazing! All of the food we had was delicious-wings, fries with verde sauce, black beans, yuca & pork! The owner is so nice & our food arrived to the table fast and hot! We drove 45 minutes to get here and I won't hesitate to drive it again!!!

I hardly write reviews, but this place deserves one! it is that good. The lechón here is the real deal, comparable to the one served in a restaurant in Puerto Rico or a Cuban one in Miami. The lechón empanada - to die for! Full of flavor. The skin crispy. Great ribs too! Do recommend the arroz con lechón, which is really arroz con gandules. We have lived +20 years in the RDU area and have tried just about every Cuban/Latin place and nothing g like this one. We will be coming back and often. The restaurant has plenty of tables and a great bar area. The service was very efficient. I highly recommend Lechón Latin BBQ & Bar

Can you say best Birthday dinner ever!! YAAAS..YAaas! If I can put a score of 20, I would hunty..Ate here today and let me tell you, if you have not hit them up. You are definitely missing out. Sorry no pics, because have to clear my phone. The service was phenomenal, food cooked to order, and wait time not long. I had the crispy pulled pork and the explosion of flavors in my mouth was delicious. The corn salad, and my lochon alcoholic drink is a must have. I will definitely be frequent at this spot. Oh! Did I mention the Yucca fries w/their home made sauces was on point too. Please visit so we can keep this business open, so many businesses have been hit by covid and have closed there doors. Please let's not have this spot be one of them, because this is one of the greatest. Trust me when I tell you, you will NOT be disappointed with this place.

This is a 2.5 at best. Typical mall food, they were out of hamburger and wings at 2pm on Saturday. Got the carne asada taco's and the carne asada fries, totally average, kind of disappointing. Several tables needed cleaning, not particularly busy.

Y'all need to try this spot in North Raleigh. Beautifully prepared meats, tasty sauces and friendly staff. We tried the - pulled pork - slow cooked and so juicy - sausages were crispy perfection with the chimichurri sauce - fried yucca are perfectly crispy on the outside and soft starchiness inside - cilantro cokeslaw was perfectly dressed Try as many sauces as you can. So wonderful. Do not miss the Lechon KO cocktail - tropical juices and rum. So yummy!! Lots of gluten-free and dairy-free options! Parking is super easy. Park by the Barnes & Noble and it's right there!

As soon as I realized my GPS was taking me to the mall and that's where I'd be eating lunch, I was already disappointed. I still wanted to give it a chance though, so I soldiered on. It was mostly empty on a Saturday afternoon, though...never a good sign. I was further disappointed to see that you order at the counter, then they hand you a number for your table. The food is brought to you when it's ready. Several tables had not been cleared, and the booths were weird - like you sink wayyyy down and the table is nearly at your shoulders. We moved to a table with chairs instead. The ketchup bottle was gross...so gross I didn't even want to touch it. I was hoping the food would make up for these things, but that was disappointing too. I had the Cuban, but there was too much mustard on it to be enjoyable. My mom had the ribeye sandwich, and she said it was tough. The fries were good, but sadly they were the best part of the experience. Most disappointing of all was the expense - $44 for two lackluster sandwiches, fries and soda. Definitely not a do-over for us. :(

Don't sleep on this place! Please continue to support and eat here because the food is amazing! I hate that the location is connected and next to a mall that is hanging on its last thread but -- don't let that stop you! The folks here are so kind and the food is amazing! I ordered the "Pork Lechon" plate that came with two sides. If you like beans and rice, you can ask them to top the rice with beans. I also got a side of corn. Make sure to ask for the delicious sauce! There are so many to choose from! For $18-20, you can easily feed two people with just enough room for dessert. Pork: Loved the crispy skin on top! The pulled pork just melted in your mouth. The flavors were on point! I could've ate this without any of the dipping sauce. Rice and Beans: Paired so well with the pork! Corn: A must-have! This was one of my favorite items on my plate. I'll be back soon!

We had phenomenal service but the food was good but not great enough to return by choice. There are not a lot of options for lower carbohydrate side dishes which would have made a huge difference in our experience.The building is on the exterior of the mall but tucked into the side near the mall entrance by the Barnes & Noble. If you drive past it, you certainly could miss it if you don't know that the signs are side facing. The music was great and the drinks were delicious but hoped a bit more from the food.

Absolutely fantastic!! The owner came and greeted us personally and made sure we were well taken care of. Tostones are perfect and the lechon is as good as it gets. Best Latino food in the Triangle.

We are huge fans of another local "Peruvian style" rotisserie restaurant- so this place had BIG shoes to fill. First impressions: it's at Triangle Town Center mall in the previous spot that was a California Pizza kitchen. This mall is challenging, but it's a cute and well designed space. Order at the counter and they'll bring to your table. The food: Think southern bbq meets Latin flair. Rotisserie chicken, ribs, empanadas, sandwiches. The menu is huge. We tried a good sampling of items: combo platter with chicken and ribs, corn salad, empanadas, Cuban sandwich and a rice and bean bowl. The winner was the beef empanadas. Delicious. The green sauce is a cilantro lovers dream! Creamy and a little spicy. Their yellow sauce is HOT! Overall- good food, pricey (was about $80 including tip) for a family of 4. This location will be tough but the empanadas are worth the trip!

Great place. 2nd trip, this time I brought the wife. Everything was great, I had the Cuban and she had the steak sandwich. Sides were out standing. Love the Lechon Rice. Don't miss out. Sauces are great. Everything tasted fresh

This new Latin BBQ restaurant is hog heaven for meat lovers. There is some real carnivore know-how going on. Five stars for a sit-down restaurant to go INTO Triangle Town Center! Having watched restaurant after restaurant shut down over the years at what should be a prime location, it is awesome that local folks chose this spot (where California Pizza Kitchen used to be...across from Barnes and Noble). Four of us this past Sunday showed up as they opened at noon. We grabbed a booth and menus. There are big decisions to make...pork or chicken? which pork or chicken? sandwich or empanadas? which sides? yellow sauce, green sauce or both? The one thing I knew going in was I definitely wanted to try the ribs and I love Peruvian chicken...so 1/4 dark meat chicken with the pork ribs for me...side of elote (corn) salad, and Cuban black beans. No choice for me where sauces were concerned...I had to try both. Husband went with a Cuban sandwich and fries. Other two wanted to try as many things as possible so they carefully planned their strategy to do so. Order and pay at the counter. We were given a number to put on our table and styrofoam cups to get our own drinks. A few minutes later the Gal came over to tell us they didn't have the ribs. WAH. Opted for pork and Sis got them to do the sausage which would normally not be an option with that particular combo. Not too long after that two of us received our food (we had ordered first). It was a little longer before the others got theirs. Favorites: the Lechon pork...there is a reason this is their namesake. It is specially marinated with crispy skin...truly outstanding. The other pork is great also, but the Lechon is exceptional. Loved the chicken. Moist with nice brown skin. Both sauces fantastic. Everyone was happy with all the chosen sides...from the Cuban black beans to the yucca fries, it's all good. As for the Cuban sandwich and fries, I asked Husband how it compared to others he has had and he said he would put it in the middle of the pack. Note: this restaurant has more of a fast-food vibe to it due to ordering at the counter, getting your own drinks, styrofoam cups and plastic utensils, but the food quality is way up there, booths are comfortable...it really is a must-try for folks who love Latin food. Portions are very generous. I took plenty home.

Very new and very good! Lechón Latin BBQ Joint is in the old California Pizza Kitchen spot at Triangle Town Center. This clean, open, order-at-the counter restaurant was busy for lunch this afternoon, but there was plenty of seating, including a few tables outside. My Peruvian chicken with black beans and yuca fries was perfectly cooked and spiced, and my friend devoured his jerk chicken sandwich (hold the pineapple). The menu was also included empanadas, tacos and a ton of other sandwiches (pork was a highlight, although we stuck with the chicken). If you order the yuca fries, be sure to taste them before salting. Ours were almost too salty, but we still enjoyed them. It took a while for our food to come out, but that's probably because they were quite busy and quite new. It's great to see a new restaurant in the space!

We visited Lechón on a Friday--service was quick and nice. Very good latin music playing. We ordered the choripan (pictured), lechón, plantains, fries, red beans, and elote salad. The choripan was delicious and the bread was perfected toasted. The lechón had great flavor, however was a little too heavy in oily for us. The elote salad would be a hit if it was hot--this was essentially a cold esquite with a little too much salt in it. All other sides we ordered were great. Overall, we will most definitely visit again.

First visit to this new spot, in the midst of soft opening. Great food! Lechon is set up in a former California Pizza Kitchen space. The interior is nicely re-done with a modern, Latin flair with lots of grays and blacks and a cool tile backsplash at the counter. The floor is re-done in a cool texture that looks like it's wet. A few remnants of CPK remain, like the central kitchen and pizza ovens and the seating layout. About 25 booths and a few tables are distributed around the room, plus a few outside on the patio. It's an eclectic menu of Latin favorites. Pork is featured, as you would expect from the name but also Peruvian-style roasted chicken and ribs, as well as empanadas, rice bowls, salad bowls, sandwiches, tacos and wings. Orders are placed at a central counter using laminated menus. Food is brought to the table. The crowd was thin on this mid-Saturday afternoon; the service was quick and crisp. As we were leaving, many customers coming in - a good sign for this new startup. We decided to try a pair of combo plates, each with 2 sides. The first is a 1/4 chicken (breast & wing) with fries and cole slaw. Chicken is spit-roasted golden brown with savory seasoning flecking the crusty skin. Meat is moist and juicy and very flavorful. Fries are lightly breaded and seasoned, then deep fried crunchy. Delicious dipped in the outstanding Aji Verde (Peruvian green sauce). The sauce is garlic-y, strong and tangy. Slaw is fresh and crisp, in a creamy, slightly sweet slaw dressing. Good! For the other combo, tried 1/4 chicken (thigh & drumstick) and pulled pork, with sides of black beans and plantains. Same chicken prep, but different part of the bird. Black beans are stellar - slow simmered with spices and fresh cilantro. Perfectly balanced between the beans and sauce and the cilantro adds just the right tone. Cuban-style black beans are one of my favorites and these are excellent. Plantains are another favorite and these are done right... just-ripe plantains, halved and deep fried till crispy on the outside but still soft on the inside, with just a touch of salt. Sweet and salty - YES! Spice-rubbed citrus-marinated pork is slow-simmered until it's fall-apart tender, then roughly shredded for Lechon's pulled pork. It's much juicier than NC-style (smoked) pulled pork, though textured similarly. No BBQ sauce here - but definitely dress it with that Aji Verde. Tender, juicy and delicious. Plenty of other things on the menu to try, so plenty of reasons to stop back. Great start, happy to show some support to a local restauranteur.

I love this place, really good food, mucho sabor, nice amount of food, service is great and fast, the ambiance is very Bori con salsa music, clean, arroz con gandules my favorite!

Over priced for the amount of food you get. Poorly seasoned. Wasn't expected this, but good to know. Service was mediocre. They where out burgers and wings. We actually ended up at another food place, because my husband and brother where still hungry.

Love this place for delicious takeout! A bit of an odd location in the mall, but we get it to go and enjoy it every time. Love the variety of food and the new burgers are sooo good. Our go to for a Friday night in.

The food was really good and tasty the flatbreads are so good and the fries are amazing, the service was amazing and they were super nice, they play really good music and the place is really clean. Overall very good and would recommend

The service was quick and the ambiance was very cool. All of the food tasted delicious, with the exception of the chicken, which was a bit dry. While the elote salad was very tasty, I do wish it was warm and not cold. Something about how cold it was seemed off. Overall, this is definitely a restaurant you should check out!

Great food, amazing service Felt like I was back on the island I highly recommend this place

RALEIGH, NC: Latin BBQ is an experience! LECHÓN offers a melting pot of Puerto Rican, Peruvian, and Argentinian dishes with delicious flavors. I was invited to try this drool worthy BBQ and I was in for a treat! Lechon BBQ Joint and Bar is a must try and they are known for their famous lechon with crispy pork skin and rotisserie chicken. This Restaurant has an array of dishes to satisfy your bbq CRAVINGZ like BBQ chicken sandwiches, pork ribs, and Argentine sausages! The are located at the Triangle Town Center with an outdoor entrance and parking near by. I highly recommend you stop by ASAP!

We tried Lechon on a rainy Saturday and left thoroughly impressed. We shared the empanadas with Argentinean beef (picadillio) and the Pernil tray. The empanadas were served hot and crispy - absolutely delicious and almost exactly the way we had them in Buenos Aires a few years ago. The pernil (pulled pork) was warm, moist, and flavorful. Serving size was large and a very reasonable value for the price and quality of the food. The side items were at the same level as the mains. The red beans were warm and flavorful, while the accompany rice, was well, rice. We both loved it. The fried yuca was served hot and was not overly starchy, while the plantains were warm and sweet. Too many restaurants these days are cutting corners by serving smaller portions of meals using inferior ingredients at higher prices. It's a treat to enjoy an excellent meal that is also a reasonable value for a change of pace. Well done!

After giving this restaurant a few chances (5 to be exact) I thought it was time to review it. Please don't waste your time going to this place, every single time I went there they never have chicken, not to mention the amount of times I called and asked. They close at 10pm on Saturdays and at 5pm and they no longer have chicken? ‍ Sundays is worse. The manager has 0 customer service skills. So if you want delicious Peruvian chicken go to Alpaca as is doesn't matter what time you go, they always have it available.

Ribs, pulled pork, chicken, fries, corn and sidezzzzz so good. The Lechon rice is my favorite chief kisses

Excellent bbq, great flavor and good portion sizes for everything! The ribs were great also!

First let me start off by saying the customer service was great! I ordered the crispy skin with the Lechon rice, yuca and plantains. Ratings as follows: Crispy skin: 9.3/10 Yuca: 8/10 Plantain: 7/10 Rice: 6/10 (add the chimi sauce) takes to to another level Overall the food was delicious. The quality was great and the price was decent as well. Would definitely be back to try other things.
