AI summary of what 1 dish mentions say about the food
Curro’s chicharrones earn singular praise, described as perfectly crisp and rich. The overall vibe is one of simple, satisfying indulgence.
“These are chicharrones — basically cracklings, fried pork rinds with a bit of meat attached. This portion cost €3 and I think it's called a 1/8 measure. Fried well, crunchy, salty, and lots of rosemary. Enough to start with.”
