In addition, the salads are always excellent in these restaurants and very nicely complement the meat.
Just to clarify... Im a huge fan of matambrito de cerdo, alas,
it is not tenderloin. Dont know the correct name in English, but the Matambrito is the muscle that surrounds the stomach... it is
not the actual stomach but its like the abdominal muscles.
Again, its an amazing dish which is one of my favorites... but for sure its not tenderloin.... it has way too much fat & flavour and even a certain chewey-ness that makes it one of a kind good... ^ just ain't no tenderloin...
