How to make it keto
Order *only* the meat components: chicharrón, chorizo, and pork chunks. Explicitly ask to omit papa criolla (small potatoes), yucca frita (fried yucca), and platano maduro (sweet plantain). Confirm morcilla (blood sausage) ingredients if included and opt out if it contains rice/oats.
Say this to the waiter (Spanish)
Para la Fritanga, solo chicharrón, chorizo y trozos de cerdo, por favor. Sin papa criolla, yuca frita ni plátano maduro. Si incluye morcilla, ¿tiene arroz o avena?
For the Fritanga, only chicharrón, chorizo, and pork chunks, please. No papa criolla, yucca frita, or platano maduro. If it has morcilla, please confirm no rice/oats.
Watch out for
Fillers or added sugar in chorizo. Morcilla (if included) can contain rice, oats, or other fillers. Heavy use of high-carb vegetable cooking oils.
