The ULTIMATE ROASTED PORK Destination at La Ruta de Lechon | Guavate, Puerto Rico

???? WATCH: Wild Puerto Rican Food
???? DAVID’S BEEN HERE SHIRTS & MERCH:

On my last day in San Juan, Puerto Rico in partnership with the Intercontinental San Juan, I headed south to Guavate to the Ruta de Lechon to eat the best roasted pork in Puerto Rico!

La Ruta de Lechon is located 1 hour south of San Juan in Guavate, Puerto Rico. Here there is a 3 mile strip of local restaurants selling the staple dish of Puerto Rico, Lechon.

Lechon is roasted pork and it's served with sides like rice, beans and morcilla. I visited two restauranants El Ranchos Original and Los Pinos. I got to visit the kitchen where they roast the pork and the back where they make the morcilla.

La Ruta de Lechon is really the best place on earth to eat roasted pork. If you find yourself in Puerto Rico definitely try to make it down to Guavate and eat Lechon for the ages!

Big thanks to my friends at the Intercontinental San Juan:

COMER LECHON NUNCA FUE TAN DIVERTIDO, EL RANCHO ORIGINAL, GUAVATE

Ir a Guavate es sinónimo de chinchorrear, pasarla bien y comer un buen plato de arroz con gandules, morcilla, guineitos sin olvidar el sabroso lechón asado con un cuerito bien tostado. Llegando a la fronteras Cayeyanas y el Bosque Carite se encuentran dos negocios espectaculares para disfrutar con toda la familia, Lechonera El Rancho Original y El Rancho Original Express. La experiencia es tan divertida que hacer esa parada es casi obligatoria para disfrutar de La Ruta del Lechón.

El Rancho Original lleva más de 40 años de servicio ofreciendo a las familias un ambiente alegre donde puedes comer comida puertorriqueña y hasta mojarte los pies en el riachuelo que pasa por el lugar. El sabor de la comida es espectacular. Los pasteles, sus arroces y la carne del lechón es riquísima. Sus facilidades son increíbles, cuentan con estacionamiento, gazebos, area para actividades privadas y una enorme pista de baile donde bailarás al ritmo de los diferentes grupos musicales que se presentan en el lugar. Si te encanta jugar Pica de Caballos en la entrada de El Rancho Original se encuentra una para el disfrute de los adultos.

Además cuentan con artesanía elaborada en Puerto Rico por artesanos altamente reconocidos en la isla, donde podrás adquirir alguna pieza y llevar un lindo recuerdo del lugar.

Al cruzar la calle se encuentra El Rancho Original Express, un segundo negocio bajo la misma administración, que ofrece a sus visitantes la misma experiencia divertida pero de una forma más rápida.

Foreigner Rides Puerto Rico Pork Highway ????????

In Puerto Rico, a lechonera is a temple of pork. The prep starts early. 6-7 hours before the first patron, secret seasonings are rubbed, pigs are put on spits, embers are tended to. I drove to my lechonera through some winding mountain roads, getting hopelessly lost on the way with no GPS. Every person knew how to get there except me of course. I rolled in, the thick smoke of sofrito tinted air, morcilla coming off the grill and thunderous bangs of machete slicing through cracking skin and hitting the chopping block. It was a full-blown carnival of lechón asado. I sat, I ate and it was perfect.

When people from another country tell me what they miss from home, they usually say something like “it’s just not the same”. I’ve heard that about lechón, and now I get it.

La Ruta de Lechon -The Pork Highway for a Thanksgiving feast in Puerto Rico

Thanksgiving on the Pork Highway!!! Subscribe for more great videos like this.
This is our second annual trip to La Ruta de Lechon for a Thanksgiving feast. I think that makes it a tradition. We decided to take the scenic route which turned out to be more challenging than I thought. But, I never get lost, I just go exploring.
Come along for the ride as we travel through the beautiful Puerto Rican countryside and find our way to the Pork Highway where we consume mass quantities of food for the Thanksgiving holiday. I also forgot to mention in the video that it is our Anniversary and we met some awesome people at the restaurant that recognized me from my YouTube channel. Collette and Mike, thanks for watching, and I'll give you a shout out in the next video.

I just bought the DJI Osmo Action Camera last week and now it is $30 cheaper than what I paid.

Check out my gear list so you can see what I take to the beach with me. I've spent a long time getting it perfected.

The Pork Highway

There's a chance that you love bacon, and if you're reading this, and you do... then you should probably visit Puerto Rico!!

If someone told me that pork in Puerto Rico was the best in the world, I'd probably think they're just promoting their food, but in actuality, Puerto Ricans make THE best lechon in the world! LOLL (well have yet to try others, but I'll take their word for it!)

I'm not going to try and convince you to visit Puerto Rico because I want you to try one dish. This lechon is not just another recommendation to your foodie list.

This place is the real deal, and if you have a chance to come here, even you'll be telling people to go!
