"Awesome lechón. I was brought here by my tour guide after a tour as she hadn't eaten lunch either and recommended it. Fantastic plates of whole cooked pig, almost like pulled pork. I got the lechón plate, but they also served tamales with lechón and other meat based dishes. The meat was fantastic and they served it with a piece of skin on top that was incredible and flavorful and broke in your teeth almost like candy. An incredible and authentic place for lunch."
