About Mesón do Xamón (O Porco)
Lunch or dinner at Mesón do Xamón — O Porco to anyone who lives nearby — means joining a packed room in Vigo's casco viejo where the kitchen is open and the smell of jamón asado fills the place from the moment you walk in. The bocadillos are what most people come for, and the jamón asado is the one to order; lacón con grelos and caldo gallego round out a menu that reads like a short, honest list of Galician staples. Oreja and cortezas are worth adding to the table. The waitresses move fast — the kind of fast that gets a full room fed without fuss. Go early, because the space is small and it fills quickly, and that is not an exaggeration.
