Grilled guinea pigs are this NYC restaurant’s shocking specialty — and the head is the ‘best part’

Are you brave enough to try this dish?

Maybe when pigs fry.

New York City epicures are devouring a “special” Ecuadorian delicacy, guinea pigs — better known stateside as a potential pet for kids — and hailing them as a “very delicious” feast.

At least that is the experience at the restaurant La Casa Del Cuy — literally “the house of guinea pig” — a culinary go-to in Corona, Queens, that grills and serves the rodent (cuy) whole, essentially every part but the “squeak.”

On a recent Monday evening, the house was packed with diners tearing into the 2½-pound animals, which can measure about 16 inches from snout to the tips of their outstretched toes. Pet-sized guinea pigs are typically smaller but can range from 2 to 3.5 pounds.

“It’s better than chicken. Better than rabbit,” manager Lucio Barrera told The Post, even claiming that the head is the best part.
