"Each winter, the rickety, boarded-up trailer on East 152nd Street looks as if it won’t survive the next strong breeze. And each spring, Angel Jimenez unlocks the door, heats the deep fryer, powers up the salsa music, sharpens the machete and brings the city’s greatest expression of Puerto Rican eating back to life for another season. The frituras, little shrimp-filled pastelillos and shiny golden bacalaitos, are superb. So is the cold octopus salad, crunchy with diced peppers and olives. But the reason we wait all winter for La Piraña’s return is the roast pork. Rubbed with garlic and pepper, splashed with milky garlic sauce and, if you like, some vinegar-and-chile solution swirled in an empty rum bottle, it is the closest a New Yorker can get to a plate of slow-cooked lechon up in the mountains outside San Juan."

"Each Saturday and Sunday, barring unforeseen complications, half the South Bronx descends on an immobilized trailer on East 152nd Street for a Puerto Rican pork party. All the ordering and cooking is in the hands of one man, Angel Jimenez, whose efficiency is somewhat compromised by his being the center of the party. In due time, he will serve up little fried pastelillos filled with shrimp in a red sofrito; golden Frisbees of salt-cod fritters known as bacalaítos; and octopus salad that crunches with raw peppers and salty olives. Then he raises his machete and whacks apart hulking cuts of lechón, slowly roasted pork rubbed with oregano and black pepper. Molten fat and fragments of glassy skin fly everywhere. The effect on the crowd, like the effect of the lechón itself, is tremendous."
