Vigorón de Cuajada (Keto - Sin Yuca)
Keto Fresh Curd Vigorón (No Yuca)
Yes, with a tweak: explicitly request 'sin yuca' (without yuca); ensure no sugary dressing on the cabbage salad; confirm chicharrónes are pure pork belly, not flour-dusted or fried in… About 9g net carbs per serving, on the higher side for Costa Rican food, so watch the portion.
