I thought I would help my neighbor out.

He makes the best roasted pork on the island, and I have been to every part of this country.
He has an oven that can roast up to 20 at a time and does it with wood. He is always busy around Christmas and Semana Santa

So, if anyone wants a great roasted pig for the holidays, let me know via PM. I don't know what he charges, but let me know how many pounds you want and he can make it up for you.

disclaimer: I am not getting paid for this except maybe a couple of pieces of roasted pork......dam that stuff is the best of the best of the best

ps he is in Gaspar Hernandez but its worth the drive

I will have to disagree, I have had roasted pork every way possible, even cooked it myself with a few bottles of brugal, and this guys roasted pork kills all of them.....better than ones on the Autopista at the SF de M turn off too.
Roasting is ok, but this kills.......

After answering a couple of PM's I wanted to say that this guy will make any size of 'pig' you want, but he only charges for cooked weight, not the weight before roasting. You can purchase from 10lbs to as many lbs as you want.

Of course you won't get a full pig at 10lbs, but a portion of one that has been roasted. Hope this clarifies things.....

Oh yea, tried to get some for dinner on the weekend, but he was sold out.....

I love pig butt and I cannot deny it.

Lechon asado is one bit of Cuban food worthy of dying for. My mother's pork roast was also terrific as well, and she was born in Missouri.

Mango Habanero Smoked and Grilled Chicken

Smoker Temp: 225 F
Grill Temp: Medium High
Meat Finish Temp: 175 F
Recommended Wood: Hickory

A little bit about brining
It amazed me how many folks still do not know about this wonderful thing called brining. Brining in it’s most basic form is simply soaking meat in a water/salt solution for x number of hours in order to make it more juicy and/or flavorful. i think THIS COULD BE A GOOD FIT TOO ! Yummy !

OMG yesssss. The best lechon I had was in Santiago, Cuba. It was cooked 'a la pua' over a wood flame. I was advised the difference in taste was because the pig was brought up eating real food (leftovers) from the family that raised it.

All I could say was wowwww. Absolute mouthwatering perfection!

Gaspar Hernandez is on the north coast east of Sosua......If you go east of Sosua, you would pass Cabarete, then Sabaneta de Yasika, then the next town is Gaspar Hernandez, before Rio San Juan......
