Without a doubt, one of the best pork knuckles I've ever eaten. Perfectly prepared, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. It alone makes the visit worthwhile.

The food tasted well, and the amount was good, too. We ordered bothe pork knuckle and whale steak (also made from pork). They were flavored well and enough to share with a family of 4. The place is busy, we were there on a Saturday evening. 5pm almost all tables were full. We had to wait about 5 minutes for a table.

Food is aweful tbh and service is terrible and discreminatory. They kept me waiting for about an hour to bring a stale pork meat. The dude who brought food had his finger in the sauce on the plate! One of the staff who spoke to me in English came back and started speaking in Spanish and when I asked what? She said "I was told you only speak spanish"! They didn't even serve me the dessert. Weird place with weird people.

The pork skin was crispy, but a small portion was a bit hard. The pork ribs were also delicious, though on the salty side.
