Lechonera Tropical & Grill Menu
Dominican RestaurantLechonera Tropical & Grill at 172 E 103rd St delivers a hearty Dominican comfort-food menu built around roasted meats, stews, rice-and-bean plates, mofongo, sandwiches, salads, desserts, and tropical drinks. Current listings feature roasted chicken, beef stew, pepper steak, ribs, shrimp platters, and pork-filled mofongo, while customer favorites also include pernil, Cuban sandwiches, tostones, and mangú.
Prices remain approachable for generous neighborhood-style portions: many plated meals with rice, beans, and salad run about $12-$18, while family combinations start around $27 and include substantial sides and soda. The cooking emphasizes savory, slow-cooked flavors, crisp fried plantains, tender roasted meats, and bright accompaniments. Tropical juices such as passion fruit, tamarind, pineapple, and lemonade complement richer dishes, alongside shakes, coffee, and hot chocolate.
Vegetarian diners can assemble meals from salads, rice, beans, vegetables, plantains, and cheese mofongo, though a dedicated gluten-free menu is not advertised. Lighter choices include grilled chicken, tuna, and salads. The broad selection suits breakfast-style meals, quick lunches, filling dinners, takeout, and group dining, especially with the shareable combo packages.
