So when we came across this place we were so excited. The sign showed a roasted pig and there were a few in the window of the restaurant. We ordered both the piglet sandwich and the piglet rib sandwich. The rib sandwich had some bones in it so be careful. Both sandwiches were tender and delicious, the skin was not crispy but was very flavorful. I think if we ordered a plate of the pig it would be crispy. We also got chips which seemed fried in house. The place is small and holds less than 20 people. They were very friendly and they accepted credit card as payments.

Absolutely refreshing and well worth it. Seating was a bit of a challenge since there was no space inside, but we made it work outside and thankfully, the heaters kept us warm. So far, so good. Unfortunately, the service completely changed the tone of our visit. The woman taking our order was not just unfriendly. She was outright disrespectful! When my friend misplaced her ticket (we still had the number and were being cooperative), she asked politely if it would be okay. Instead of responding with basic courtesy, the employee made a scene and said in Spanish, "para la próxima guarda tu puto ticket." What she didn't realize is that we also speak Spanish. There was absolutely no reason for that level of hostility over such a minor situation. It turned what should have been a simple, enjoyable meal into an uncomfortable experience. We came here just to enjoy good food and while the food delivered, the service left a lasting impression for all the wrong reasons. I truly hope no one else has to experience that kind of treatment.

TL;DR: Call it a tourist spot if you want. It's consistent,…read moreaffordable, and delivers. Ignore the noise. Tourist or not, it's worth going. Food: The sandwiches do not miss. Rich, filling, and more than enough for one person. Hard to imagine eating more than one or needing another meal after. Value: Strong. Prices are fair, portions are big, and you actually feel like you got what you paid for. Vibe: Clean, efficient, and easy to get a seat. Not trying to be charming, just works. What could be better: Lacks the character of smaller mom-and-pop spots. If you're chasing "local only" energy, this isn't it.

It's one of those incredibly soulful spots that I feel are, low-key, becoming extinct in big cities, where everything is starting to look homogenized. We queued for about 15 minutes and grabbed seats at the bar. This was with awful weather and before peak tourist season, so I imagine the lines can get quite long. Pro tip: don't head inside just because you see someone leave. I made that mistake and was told to wait for someone to call me over. The people working here have zero sense of urgency, and that's part of the magic. You're in Portugal. Relax. The cachorrinhos were great, but we also had a steak sandwich that was phenomenal. Think greasy street food in a compact, hole-in-the-wall spot. Pair it with a beer and fries, and you've got the perfect lunch. They take cards!

I'm very glad we stopped here while we were in Porto. I'm also glad we managed to find two *seats* together - the place is tiny, and well-attended. It's a bit cramped if you're dining in, but worth it (assuming you can find a seat.) I was also spoiled after the first fried cheese-dog arrived like 2 minutes after ordering it, despite it being so busy - the pica pao took a longer time (not an unreasonably long time), as did the second cachorrinho I decided I needed to get even though I wasn't *terribly* hungry after sharing the first two items, cause it was so good, and I knew I wouldn't be back any time soon, if ever (was fine by me, as I was also enjoying trying a bunch of Portuguese spirits for cheap - 3.5 euro for a decently large glass of ginja, 3-5 euro for various Portuguese brandies... they thought I was weird ordering a large glass of ginja, but it goes *so* well with the salty deep fried food served here.) Cachorrinhos are super unhealthy obviously, being basically a fried hot dog stuffed with cheese, but excellent, totally worth the roughly 5 bucks. The pica pau Americo was also a pretty good value, as a "small" is... not small. I figured I should try both of the things they were most known for - the pica pau was great too, but if I were ever back, I'd probably just stuff my face with wonderful fried crispy cheese dogs.
