went to this place to celebrate my birthday. I've been to Spain many times and I know how the Spanish food tasted. This restaurant serves so called Spanish food adopted to tourists. Opinion is just like ass everybody got one, said Clint EastwoodMore

Esther was helpful in getting us a room for Father's day celebration. Free Heineken for the Dads. Grandkids loved the cutting of suckling pig # 79000+ with plate for good luck and smashing the plates. Great service too!.

I wasn't impressed with what I ordered. We had the pork shoulder steak. Meat was very chewy and the mash still had potato lumps in there!! It was so badly done. How could you screw up mashed potatoes? We also ordered the tiger prawn wrapped...in bacon and jamon croquetas. These appetisers were good but I wouldn't call this full star worthy.More

Just had a lovely birthday dinner celebration with my boy & my man! The sausage platter was so juicy and grilled to perfection. My BBQ soft bone ribs was so flavourful and I almost wanted to lick the whole plate clean. We ordered Fruity red...Sangria and really enjoyed it. Birthday boy got a complimentary Basque burnt cheesecake with 2 margarita and 1 orange juice on the side. We didn't expect such a generous dessert and thanks El Cerdo for a wonderful service. We will be back for more. Gracias!More

I really wanna eat a good pasta for our Anniversary day and it needed to be a quick one as it was the last day of Lockdown the country after epidemic spread out. We ordered signature pasta serve with pork cheek fillet and braised 3...layer pork pasta. The food was good and testy as always. Before we headed back home, they gave us the little surprise gift for our Anniversary. We loved it. Noted: beer and mocktail are also good to try. Ps. The Spanish crispy piglet is good too but on that night we had running out of time. So we didn’t order it- no picture for that.More
