Casa Guedes on Praca dos Poveiros opened in 1987 when the Correia brothers took over an older snack bar; their slow-roasted pernil shredded into a fofo roll grew slowly until a 2008 Time Out Porto cover pushed it into citywide canon. The second-site overflow at numbers 76 to 80 opened in 2019 to handle the queues. The Serra da Estrela cheese upgrade, melted on top, is the version locals defend.
