Reference: lagarto

Reference information:
It sounds as though this Spanish cut of pork; it's usually known as Ibérico pork (rather than Iberian) in the UK, despite what some websites may say - they also call pigs on this site "porks" ;-)

Lagarto - Also denominated "Loin Drawstring" is a long and skinny piece of meat (Iliocostalis muscle) between the loin and the chops, that gives it a great taste and juiciness.
This meat comes from Iberian Acorn-Fed porks that roam freely in the meadows"Dehesas".

http://pequgourmet.com/products-page/pequ-iberian-acorn-fed-...

I suspect many menus would leave the term without translating it, cf.

. And with the arrival of the first air shipment of Iberico ham and fresh cuts bearing names that take a bit of learning and much rolling of r's: lomo, presa, lagarto, and secreto, expect to see the word Berkshire nudged off menus, and replaced with Iberico at some of Canada's chi-chi-est restos.
