LECHONA LA COLOMBIANA – Colombian
Lechona is not a side dish here — it is the entire reason the place exists. Working from a family recipe carried through three generations and set up in Pembroke Pines since 2018, this Taft Street kitchen roasts the Tolima-style stuffed pork until the skin shatters and the rice-and-pea filling underneath goes soft and savoury. It sells by the portion or by the tray for a full table, with tamal tolimense, empanadas and chicharron alongside. Weekend-focused hours keep it a Saturday-and-Sunday ritual for Colombian families across Broward. One dish, done properly, forever.
