Piraña, Tierra, Libertad

On a nondescript block of the South Bronx, a building superintendent known to the neighborhood as "Piraña" runs a Puerto Rican restaurant from a re-purposed trailer. Lechonera la Piraña specializes in lechon, pastellilos, and alcapurias, but the man with the machete specializes in heart.
