As far as I can tell, none of the three above mentioned restaurants serve roasted pork. Varita closed doors last year.

Make a distinction between oven roasted pork leg, known here as pernil, and the whole pork roasted in one piece, preferably over charcoal.

Guavate is a quite easy drive but if you are not willing to go that far, there are a few places a lot closer to San Juan. Those are in Carraízo, in the town of Trujillo Alto. Also, there are some in my hometown, Bayamón.

Guavate is the place to go for fun, music, and roasted pork, although.

Questions? Ask!

Thank you. It appears Guavate is the place to go. Does anyone know of any group tours that go to Guavate on Saturday or Sunday?

Varita in no longer doing bussiness. The best lechon can be eaten at Los Pinos, in Guavate area, Cayey.

We go to Bebo's on the Marginal Road in Los Angeles, across the Airport. It's right there where you have all the Car Rental. It's 24/7 open,doesn't look to nice, but it's very clean. I pass by every day and there is always a waiting line
