 As the name implies, The Iberian Pig is devoted to porcine pleasures as practiced on the Iberian peninsula. The special cured pork of Spain and other Spanish-inspired dishes form the crux of the menu. More pan-Hispanic than exclusively Iberian, the restaurant does pork cheek tacos, for instance. Among the better tapas are the grilled bacon-wrapped dates; you can’t eat just one. We also recommend the pinchos de puerco, pork tenderloin pâté sweet as candy atop slices of bread. The Iberian ham itself, the star of the show, is sliced traditionally, but lacks the depth of flavor found in Spain. Serrano, pata negra and bellota all are offered, though, making possible a tour de force. Among the main dish items, we especially relished the barbecued lamb ribs with a medley of roasted veggies. Spanish cheeses make a substantial statement here. For dessert, get the churros with their side of hot chocolate for dipping. The wine list focuses on Spain, of course, but there are selections from other parts of the Hispanic world and the U.S. While there is valet parking on the weekends, don't bring the car; the restaurant is steps away from the Decatur MARTA station.
