This is a typical Peruvian restaurant. their menu is totally local with no international cuisine. now, let me tell you guys, if you want to come here you have to make sure you're "HUNGRY" and i mean "HUNGRY", never ever seen in my life a place that'll serve such "Godzilla" size portions, no kidding!!!. i honestly think Peruvian food is rich in dishes and you will not waste your time coming here. found this place thanks to my driver Roberto, a local guy making his living as a taxi driver. he's a stand up guy, always showed up whenever i called his services. anyways, he brought me here, place is not expensive, probably a little pricey for most locals, but well within our range for us foreigners!!!. tried Ceviche (marinated fish) and lomo saltado (sauteded beef/potatoes & rice). think they give you like plates weighing like 10+ pounds, finished one plate but the second had to tell them to put it in a doggy bag, way too much to eat at that moment. plates cost like S/.12-15 ($4.50-5=). they even have plates for big parties like if you would like to feed a whole party crowd, think that one cost something like S/.48= ($14-15=).
One thing i would do is not to go to late here, unless coming with a local friend, other than that is a must trip to this Peruvian eatery.///
