The Iberian Pig - Review - Decatur - Atlanta - The Infatuation

"If you’re someone who prefers ordering half a dozen small plates instead of just one entree, head to The Iberian Pig, the best tapas spot in Decatur (they also have a Buckhead location). The casual dining area with earthy tones isn’t particularly memorable, but the variety of small plates is. Simple but well-executed dishes like peppadews bursting with goat cheese mingle with heartier options like a creamy mac and cheese with a thin layer of crispy bits of ham. Everyone at your table can find something they're in the mood for on the giant tapas menu, which also has a whole suckling pig (give them a 72-hour heads-up if you want it). Whether it’s a Happy Hour meetup with co-workers, date night, or a friend hang, The Iberian Pig delivers for every occasion. photo credit: Heidi Geldhauser RESERVE A TABLE WITH RESERVE A TABLE Food Rundown Iberico Mac And Cheese Mac and cheese lovers won’t be disappointed by this order. The crispy bits of ham provide a nice contrast to the creamy noodles, and it’s a decent-sized portion if you’re forced to share with your tablemates. Peppadew Peppers There’s a lot of goat cheese stuffed in these small peppers, so each bite is a burst of creamy sweetness. B.W.D. Sweet, sugary medjool dates are wrapped with bacon and sit in a pool of tomatoey romesco. An order has five of these delicious bites, and you should get more than one order because no one at the table will want to share. Patatas Bravas Crispy little potatoes are drizzled with a rich salsa bravas and a tangy aioli. It’s a simple but well-executed dish, so make sure it's part of your order. Broccolini These aren’t anything special, but we did like the crispy bits of garlic on top. Pork Cheek Tacos Mini crunchy taco shells hold tender, braised pork and a hefty dollop of corn salsa. The avocado crema ties it all together and keeps everything moist." - Juli Horsford
