Fodor's Expert Review El Cochinito

At first glance, this simple restaurant under a blue, columned arcade may seem too scruffy to think about dining in. However, the locals choose "The Piglet" over the other options in town for a reason: the good-value, basic creole cuisine, including such pork specialties as chicharrones de cerdo (pork crisp), masas (pork loin), and cochinillo asado (roast pig) are delicious. If you prefer to munch your pig alfresco, there are a few tables sporting red-checkered tablecloths out on the arcade terrace.
