How to make it keto

Say this to the waiter (Spanish)
El Kure Chyryry, por favor, sin mandioca, patatas ni arroz. Póngalo con verduras bajas en carbohidratos a la plancha, como brócoli o calabacín. Sin glaseado dulce en el cerdo.
Kure Chyryry: no mandioca, potatoes, or rice. Serve with grilled low-carb vegetables like broccoli or zucchini. No sugary glaze on pork.
Watch out for
