I saw that place. My daughter went the other day and said it was very good. She said it was about $10,000 pesos.

Adding this place to my list of places to visit. Although it looks like a heart attack waiting to happen. 😛

Nothing to write home about. At least the Soho location I went and the ribs were really dry and burned! I complained but that entire batch was all burned.

My friend had the pulled pork sandwich and that looked better and at least was not all burned and dry. YMMV.

You can read some reviews here of the Soho branch.

I've seen TikTok videos that have tempted me, I'll have to go... They say they were inspired by The Simpsons😋

It's pork so not even the bayerischen fries justify that money. I'd also question the type of bread they are using, which seems to be like a pebete (a bit sweet and very soft), I think a flauta (the bread used for choripán) would be a better choice. (I love pebete bread, but not for something that has a sweet sauce).

Agree. I am amazed at the food inflation at some of these places. Pork doesn't cost that much. I really hope that restaurants start to reduce their prices to attract more locals. Many places aren't as busy as before and I wonder at which point restaurant owners figure out it's better to lower their prices and get more business at lower margins vs. potentially going out of business.

Of course now the strategy seems to be to pay influencers to make it go viral but I don't think that is a permanent resolution and only will give a temporary bump. You still have to offer a great produce at a fair price to make it over the long haul which many restaurants don't seem to have figured out.

Don Julio has been masterful about using media and influencers to create demand and now it seems like everyone wants to tap into that. Which I don't think is a positive.
