At El Toro Carniceria, we bring this beloved Mexican treat straight to your table, prepared in the traditional style that has delighted generations.
What Are Cueritos?
Cueritos are made from pork skin that has been carefully cleaned, boiled until tender, and then pickled in vinegar. Often flavored with oregano, garlic, onions, bay leaves, and spicy chiles, cueritos are tangy, slightly chewy, and bursting with flavor. They are a popular snack in Mexico, especially when enjoyed at fiestas, street markets, or as a topping for various dishes.
