The bustling Spanish restaurant La Lechonera is located in Tampa, Florida. Stop in for a quick snack, catch up with friends, or sample some of our distinctive desserts in a relaxed setting. To discove…
I ordered the Carne Frita (Fritura) and the Yuca Frita , highly recommended! Def hit the spot with the BEST price nearby for the quantity. They added a topping of juicy onions and lime with the meat, adding perfect flavoring. WILL BE BACK!

Great portions. Empanda De Pollo was underwhelming and had no sauce or much flavor besides salted chicken, would not get again. The Morcilla was good, a little hot sauce goes nicely. The Lechon A La Varita was very good, the pork was juicy and crispy. Would have liked a touch more saltiness but was very good. Will last me a couple of meals for sure.

Portions are so generous my pernil with arroz con gandules is more than enough for 2 people. Haven't tried the pasteles or empanada yet but I'm sure they are both just as flavorful. Will order again in the future. Finally a place that doesn't give you grainy rice!

The rice was amazing easily a 9/10, great flavor and good portion for it to be a side. The Chicharrones De Cerdo 1\2 Lb however tasted old, was almost cold , and a 2/10. Id other the rice again but def not the chicarrones.
