Lechona Truck

Lechona Truck serves Colombian street food from a truck in the Upper East Side, with a focus on their signature lechona—pork slow-roasted for 18 hours and layered with seasoned rice and peas. Each component is prepared separately before roasting, a technique that reviewers consistently note elevates the final dish. The menu spans tamales, empanadas, and fresh bowls at accessible prices.
