My only memorable experience with restaurants that serve good food and service was probably during my holidays. There are only a handful in the KL city area that can provide this, and El Cerdo is surely one of them. Whenever I visit KL, dining at El Cerdo is a MUST in my "to-do-list". This is my fifth visit here, and... More

Love the food. Its different. Love the people, very friendly, full with initiative and intelligent people working there. Not at all the 'robot' service.

I was amazed that everything here was about pork, from decor to menu, they stood firm to their standards. One thing that baffled me was the foreign workers here that were able to speak good English and gave an even better service. On an even brighter side, the food is exceptional and came and the right time too. For days... More

Proper pork places are hard to find nowadays, and one needs to do their homework to know the locations of these meat eateries. It's been a while since I devoured this meat and a night with the guys brought back great excitement to my food expedition. El Cerdo is 'the place' to have great and unforgettable meals. The plate breaking... More

I wrote a review back in Nov 2009, and complained about having to pay for tap water when we were already buying beers and sangrias. Well, that is still the same. We are not freeloaders who ONLY drink free water... It seems that you can now order wine by the glass, although my wife had a sangria which we both... More

I'm a total pork freak. So when I got to know that El Cerdo serves the best suckling piglet (as reviewed by my friends) I wasted no time to try it. It really doesn't disappoint me at all. Everyone should come and try this.. OINK OINK...!!!
