The Lechón King of the South Bronx | Street Food Icons

Ойын-сауық

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.

    You know a spot is going to be good when the owner has a love for his people, his food is as authentic as it gets, and has an undying passion to serve others! HOW HAS THIS MAN NOT BEEN FUNDED TO OPEN HIS OWN FULL-TIME RESTAURANT!?!?!?

    They almost certainly are using royalty free audio. If they wanted to use more popular music they would have to secure the rights to the music from the artists which costs $$$
