Ángel Jiménez’s La Lechonera La Piraña is one of the few places outside of Puerto Rico where you can eat an authentic plate of lechón boricua. For the last 20 years in a trailer in the Bronx, Jiménez begins cooking pork before dawn and opens at midday on Saturdays and Sundays for those who snag a place in line before he sells out. He runs the business on his own, cooking, serving and chatting with clientele, always with a beer in hand.
