Why the barrel

The secret is the barrel

Inside the barrel the pork belly hangs and cooks slowly with heat all around it. The fat renders, the skin turns golden and crispy, and the meat stays juicy with a smoky flavor you just can’t get from a pan.

That’s why it’s our most ordered dish: at breakfast with arepa, fresh cheese, eggs or calentado, and at lunch as the protein of the day.
