One of my absolute favorite dishes at Esquina, the Pork Jowl is a show-stopper, redefining the meaning of “melt-in-your-mouth”.
After biting through the flawlessly caramelized exterior, the pork melts away on the palate in a luxurious, rich mouth-feel. The generous chipotle mayo sauce adds to the dish’s richness with a welcome kick of spiciness and umami.
The fatty taste of pork and mayo is cleansed off by alternating each piece of meat to a small bite of tangy pickled pear.
