The 43 best street food in Lima

(Translated by Google) A rest area just beyond the crowds. This picarones restaurant seems to be family-run. When I went, it cost 4 soles for 4 or 5. Locals also frequent the restaurant, and as I looked around, customers beckoned me over, saying the food was delicious. It's a great place with a great atmosphere. The pizzas were drizzled with honey that had a similar flavor to brown syrup, and the dough was very light and fried in clean oil, so I ate the whole thing by myself. It was delicious. (Original) 人混みを抜けた先の休憩所 家族経営っぽいピカロネス屋さんです。 行った時は4〜5つで4ソルでした。 地元の人も訪れていて、お店を見ていたら食べているお客さんがここのは美味しいよって手招きしてくれる、そんな雰囲気のいいお店です。 黒蜜っぽい風味のハチミツがかかっていて、生地がとても軽く、きれいな油で揚げていたので1人でぺろっと食べてしまいました。 とてもおいしかったです。

Ok

Good

The seafood was fresh. I would come back again.

The food was fresh and tasted great

Delicious and affordable! Recommend for a ceviche craving! Not fancy or full of itself, this is a popular, efficient, and local-focused eatery. Top notch!

Very good food, big portions, and the ceviche was amazing 5/5. Perfect for a lunch when traveling around the old city

Had excellent ceviche here. Very fresh and delicious! Service was excellent.

Delicious (tourist safe), clean, delicious, excellent service, delicious, authentic, huge variety of seafood options ....and also everything was delicious!!!! Drinks small but strong, and the ceviche is expertly prepared and presented. Staff enthusiastic and friendly. Made great recommendations and were so happy to have tourists! Prices very, very reasonable. Would absolutely recommend!!

Ceviche de pescado was delicious, trio as well. Such a great place with fresh ingredients for a very reasonable price. I highly recommend to visit for lunch 🤤🦐🐟

First time trying ceviche, and the mixed plate was delicious! The rice, chicharron, and ceviche combo was so good, and and a great value for the large portions.

As seen on Netflix’s Street Food Latin America, Al Toke Pez was high on my must-eat list the moment we landed in Lima. I told our friends it was non-negotiable, and they happily followed my cravings. After days of pretty bland meals, that first bite of fresh, tangy ceviche was pure heaven. The spot is tiny and the menu is short, but their signature mixed plate is a winner—fried rice, crispy seafood, and ceviche all on one plate. Add their fiery chili sauce (careful, it’s spicy), and it’s the perfect combo of flavor, crunch, and zing. Delicious, satisfying, and totally budget-friendly. Netflix did not lie. 😋✨

As many reviewers suggest, it's best to come before they open and be the first to enter. There are only 9 seats. We were there 15 minutes early and were the first seated. It's small but comfortable. The staff is very efficient and keep everything moving. The food was well prepared and flavorful. We both had the Combinado for S 35 each and my wife had a chicha which is S 3. We both left very full. It's a good value for what you pay. And it's nice to support a small business.

We came here just because of advertisement in the internet. Nice calm place, simple but delicious local food. Also walk thought this small street, it is beautiful

Everything was delicious and the service was excellent. You can probably share the combinado between two people, as it’s a lot of food. Arigato gozaimas ❤️

The seafood is fresh and tasty, but the menu is quite limited. We asked for lemmon juice to season our plate and they initially refused, but yielded upon second request. Also they do not offer ice for soft drinks. The place is small and seating is tight.

Well, the location I visited was small and crowded. It needs some work on the appearance. The food and service were super good. Despite the negative, I would probably go to a different location to enjoy the food. 😉

Had jamon and abuelas turkey sammy at this busy lunch spot near the plaza. Pickled onions were delicious and they had a yummy sandwich sauce. Black coffee was one of the best cups I've ever had in a cafe setting.

Perfect bite of bread and crunchy fried pork for breakfast. One thing that I like about it was the onion side dish, it adds acidity that rendered the fat from the pork and adds crunchiness and extra flavor from the onions. Food: Excellent Ambiance: Good Service: Good $

No frills diner offering delicious pork sandwiches at affordable prices for the masses. Locals queueing as soon as it opens.

Peple was waiting in line before and after they open at 8:00 am. That Jamón del Pais sandwich was spectacular! It was too big for me though. This must be another stop in your trip to Lima.

If you are visiting Lima and want to try chicharrón that you will love? Go here, this is the best there is!!

Awesome! It's one of the best chicharrones I've tried! But you have to wait a bit

This is a simple straightforward food place for good lunch

If You are in Surquillo you must stop and try the delicious Peruvian cuisine 👍🏻❤️🇵🇪

Amazing little family spot, right in the centre of Surquillo Market#2. Classic Peruvian (Chinese influenced) plates S/15. Wait in line to pay then take a seat. Your order is served promptly. Savoury meals w/ complex flavours go well beyond their meagre price. Very, very popular w/ locals. P.s. go a bit early to avoid the crush...

Excellent food. I was born in Arequipa so I know how a good ocopa should taste. Potatoes were the best quality. Fried fish was excellent. 15 soles is less than $5 for a full meal. Update: rocoto relleno was very good too

Excellent. Very tasty, local food for local prices! It's 12/14 Soles a complete menu. The staff is super friendly although it's very busy at lunchtime, we waited for around 15 - 20 minutes. Try the "Causa"!!! Got the tip from the Netflix show and I would definitely come back!

The food was not good: "Palta Rellena" salty, "cau cau" mostly potatos, "Pescado con frejoles" ugly Bad service an annoyed " cajera" taking and billing orders Hostil atmosphere, I saw a server being agressive with an older customer. I had tried to eat in this place several time during many years used to be full, not now.

I went there because of Netflix and it was... just ok. They have too many clients, so sometimes the workers are screaming each other creating a bad vibe. They should come back to the old times, or if they really want to "grow" or "expand", go for a bigger place. Otherwise, it feels like selling the idea of real local experience in the market, which is not 100% authentic anymore.

Good sandwich and fast serving

Excellent service in a beautiful park

(Translated by Google) Excellent, very good, fast and attentive service, the sandwiches are exquisite, to eat more than once. As for the environment, it is a stand in the middle of the Miraflores plaza, despite that it is very safe and there is no major inconvenience, you can also pet the cats while you wait. (Original) Exelente, muy buena atención rápida y atenta, los sandwiches son exquisitos, para comerlos más de una vez. En cuanto al ambiente es un puesto en medio de la plaza de Miraflores, a pesar de eso es muy seguro y no hay mayor inconveniente, además puedes acariciar los gatos mientras esperas.

(Translated by Google) Excellent service...everything delicious 😋.....I love the suckling pig sausage.. (Original) Excelente servicio...todo delicioso 😋.....me encanta la butifarra de lechón..

(Translated by Google) Everything very rich and fresh. Excellent quality. My favorite is the turkey sandwich, and for dessert is the shampoo (a fruit-based dessert). A delight! 😋 The emollient and chicha morada are unbeatable. (Original) Todo muy rico y fresco. Excelente calidad. Mi favorito el sandwich de pavo, y de postre el champú( un postre a base de frutas). Una delicia! 😋 El emoliente y la chicha morada insuperables.

(Translated by Google) The service is friendly, the flavors are homemade, I had a nice experience, I recommend it. (Original) El servicio es amable,al punto los sabores son de casa, me llevo una linda experiencia se los recomiendo

(Translated by Google) Hello... everything very rich, clean and tasty (Original) Buenasooo... todo muy rico, limpio y sabroso

I read about this place online and wanted to check it out. Really good cheap food! The chicken breast skewer was really good and so was the beef heart skewer. The potatoes were well cooked. The Chicha morada was delicious! I ordered a chicken heart too - it was okay. I feel the veins needs to be cleaned out from the heart but it wasn't done. But truly recommend this place!

Awesome and well reviewed Doña Pochitas Anticucheria, not sure how much action the food stall still gets but at our visit it was (small) restaurant service only. Choose your food from the overhead blackboard, pay and get your ticket, sit down and wait for your perfectly grilled beef hearts. Surprisingly tender, well seasoned and very enjoyable. Lovely little place to eat along local people.

Dona Ponchita is a Lima street food Legend. Anticuchos here are famous for a reason. We had anticuchos and chicken breast and both were fantastic AND affordable.

Not sure what to get so went with combo #1 👍 One of the employees was super helpful and went out of his way to help since it was obvious I was a tourist 😝 The food was slightly too salty for my tastes but delicious nonetheless. They also serve desserts so I had picarones as well, highly recommend. Sweet, doughy goodness.

Not exactly what i was expecting..🙄 When it comes to this type of cooking you gotta know your stuff. I ain't no expert but i had better. First of all. The establishment is nice and clean the cook was very professional. The flavor in the anticuchos was good but it didn't have the crusty smoky char flavor of cooking over charcoal .. like old school😫 I know times are changing but there are places out there that go old school all the way but good luck in finding one. I will keep coming until I find what I am looking for.

One of the best places to get Anticuchos in Lima. Their place is clean snd the price is right for the amount of food they serve. Another good thing is that they offer other types of meats like steak, chicken breast and pork chop. I would definetly would recommend this place to anyone who is looking for a better option of fast food.

One of the best anticuchos in Lima. It is located in a busy area of Lince and surrounded by a a great food ambiance (fruits, desserts, chifas) We ordered the Anticuchos Mix platter (35 soles) that comes with beef heart and inners from the cow (gizzards, hearts and stomach). Simply delicious.

If you are in Lima Miraflores and wanted to taste authentic peruvian dessert Picarones , you are in the right place . You should be at the location from 2-3 pm @kennedy park and get ready for the line.

Sweets and “Picarones” cart in Miraflores’ Central Park. This cart has been here for years dispensing primarily one of Peru’s favorite sweet/snack. The recipes are quite tasty and consistent from day to day. The person that runs it is very friendly and helpful

I must do while in Perú. Discovered this spot from Netflix Latin Food and they weren't wrong. It's the best dessert, so good nice and hot. Glad we got to experience this sweet treat.

The best picarones I had in Peru.

These picarones puffed up like bagels, are crispy on the outside and pure heaven with the honey. Not too sweet either. These are sublime!

All is good here, traditional peruvian deserts with excellent taste... price is ok... friendly people... must return!!!

Their kitchen is open and not sanitary. Not worth going all the way there.

El market is no longer active int the building, but you are able to see the stands outside and it’s very lively, even on an odd raining day!

Marketplace with stalls selling fruit, meat, souvenirs, clothes. When we visited the inside space was closed, it was all outdoor stalls (perhaps it's no longer open inside?). Not a huge place, just a few rows of stalls. Fun to try some fruits previously unknown to us. Sellers don't hassle you to buy from them, which is nice.

Awesome local market with beautiful fresh produce and very good value food stalls. Good vibe & very safe, great place to wander around for a while to marvel at the amazing produce Peru has to offer.

Mercado Nº 1 de Surquillo is an absolute gem nestled in the heart of the vibrant Surquillo district. I stumbled upon this market during my visit to Lima and was instantly captivated by the array of fresh produce, local specialties, and the lively atmosphere. The stalls boast a kaleidoscope of colors, offering everything from exotic fruits to aromatic spices. The sheer variety is a testament to the rich culinary tapestry of Peru. The vendors are friendly and eager to share their knowledge about the products. Whether you're a foodie looking for unique ingredients or a traveler wanting to immerse yourself in local culture, Mercado Nº 1 de Surquillo is a must-visit. Don't miss the chance to savor authentic Peruvian flavors and soak in the bustling energy of this market. It's an experience that will undoubtedly leave a lasting impression.

It is a must visit. They have a variety of fresh fruits, vegetables and dried fruits. You can buy fresh juices, smoothies and sandwiches. As a tourist would recommend going with a guide here so that you can learn more about the local produce.

Very cool place to spend time and eat fresh ceveche..very fresh!! The abundance of fresh fruit and vegetables is mind boggling. The vendors are great, and not aggressive as are some foreign mercados can be. Loved it!

Has everything you need. Cheap fruit and veg, grains, cheese, eggs, meat. There’s an artesanal market in the road outside and I found some of the best bread I’ve had in Peru, from a stall called Halma Panadería - they do stuffed bread with cheese, olives, caramalised onions or lots of other meat options too. They also do empanadas & can heat anything up for you to eat straight away.

I really like the idea of their trio ... so we can try 3 different things. Ceviche was the best ❤️ ... yum yum my chaufa was a little dry. But if you like ceviche, this place should be added in your list. 😊

I tried Ceviche. Fish was fresh but taste was good, not surprising. Squid was great. Chicha Morada was amazing. Place was small but nice, it was like eating in “carretilla” very local type. Toilet was really clean, I really value this point. I did not like that they aloud street kids to sell gums and candies to customers.

Amazing cevichería. Great sized plates, intense flavor, high quality fish cuts and tasty chicha morada, which I recommend for you to pair with any dish. I asked for a spicy ceviche, which is how you should do if you want to have a real Peruvian ceviche. Go for it, you won’t be disappointed. Only dropped one star for the atmosphere because of the closeness to the street, which can get loudy, but I’m nitpicking. I’d absolutely come back during another trip to Lima.

This a different place in Lima is like a Ceviche Bar but you not only eat ceviche you can also try Trio Marino that consist in ceviche, @rroz con mariscos or chaufa de mariscos and chicharron de calamar....it is not expensive(S/. 25 soles) .....you can have a good time and eat delicious food....you can also try to find Ronald -he always stay in one of his restaurants @_@ ( i did..until i found it :D)

Good ceviche. Although not the bestest for me yet. If you're in the area and "punto azul" is closed, this is a good 2nd choice. But be wary that the place is tiny. Only 20 people capacity so it is always full. If you're by yourself you'll be able to squeeze in but definitely not for bigger parties.

Just Amazing, authentic smooth and fresh. This kind of place it's invited to you back then they don't make reservations and it's not expensive if you come to Lima and want try the Real ceviche Experience come over this Place and ask for chicha morada.

Bad service I stay in a aribnb next to it just wants to eat . Don’t recommend

This place is super popular. We didn’t plan to eat, but we saw huge lines so we tried. The lines moved fast though. The line on the left is to purchase and the line on the right is for pickup. We got the cream one and the chocolate one with sugar on top (you can also ask them to skip the sugar). I think it’s ok. I don’t like either stuffing inside. The churos themselves are good as they were freshly made and soft.

Best Churros in town. They have 3 different Churros with different fillings (chocolate, caramel, leche). I‘ve never had such good tasting Churros before. Moreover you only pay 3 SOL per piece, which is incredible for the quality of food you get.

Amazing!!! Super delicious churro with a warm caramel filling!!! Be warned, it'll get messy but totally worth it!!!

Best churros near the convent of San Francisco! They opened very early in the morning before even cafes opened so we had their freshly baked warm churros instead.

Might be slightly controversial here, but these are the best churros I’ve ever had. And that’s coming from someone who’s visited the greatest churro spots in Mexico… Make sure you get the Dulce de Leche! (Or as Peruvians call it, Manjar)

Fried pastry basically rolled with 3 different options, with Manjar Blanco (Dulce de Leche) being the most popular and definitely my favorite. As I mentioned in my review of Virgen del Carmen, the only difference I find is in the dough. This one seems to be fried for longer, resulting in a crispier coat yet softer inside, possibly with a bit more salt to balance the flavors and the added sugar. In my opinion, the filling (Manjar Blanco) tastes identical. Both options are good, and at only S./ 3 each, you can't go wrong with either. This place and Manolo in Miraflores are hands down the best I've tried in the city. However, Manolo has a more traditional form factor, unfortunately it’s over double the price, but it has a lot more filling and is definitely sweeter in my opinion.

Came here as part of a walking tour. We tried to leche flavour which was phenomenal. Not much of a wait in the morning.

They ALWAYS run out of food. No longer serve hamburgers. The workers are kind but management it’s terrible and incompetent to order enough food. Don’t go late because they will refuse to cook anything. They even run out of sodas. How does a restaurant in Lima run out of sodas!? Ownership needs to hire new managers who are not lazy and incompetent

Delicious surtido juice and pan con lechon, fast and courteous service. Diego was very nice and smiley. Highly recommend👌 Thanks.

Omg! What a disappointment 😞 they changed the recipe, but my chicharrones were horrible, taste like a lot of comino.

The “sandwich de Pavo al horno” is my favorite. Great sandwiches, service. Thumbs up!

Really disappointed in the food quality. Fries were cold and sandwhich was blah

Good service and serve amount

Fantastic sandwiches and the flavors are perfectly balanced. Good prices too.

One of the best anticuchos I had. We also had rachi. The chicha morada is excellent. I really recommend this place.

Excellent restaurant! Great ambiance with fabulous service and delicious food. I didn't like anticuchos before because I never liked the liver-like taste that it has, but I was told this restaurant was the best and that I would love it. They were absolutely right!

We had the combo mix of beef .. tastes good and staff service was very friendly.

Good but inconsistent pricing that doesn’t align with what’s on the menu.

Delicious anticucho place. The anticuchos were pretty nice - well cooked and beer was cold. The potatoes were great and rocoto sauce was very spicy giving the ‘kick’ to the dishes. Service was decent, too. Will go back to this place again soon.

This place has great prices, and you can get coca cola in the glass bottle!

Our coldest beer in Peru and D.licious Anticucho de Corazon...

An authentic South American covered market, with all the positives (great variety of products, especially food, but also house items, at very honest prices) and cons (crowded, loud, hectic and in some places with a strong smell) of South American traditional covered markets. During the day you can also find a good number of tourists, especially attracted by the many traditional restaurants in and near the market, but it is mostly a place where local residents come for their every day shopping. It opens very early in the morning and it closes early in the evening, so it is a great place to visit and wander around making a stop for breakfast or lunch, but not for dinner.

While the Mercado Central may not have the European charm of a central market, it's a worthwhile destination for those familiar with the city. Offering a wide variety of groceries, meat, fruits, and vegetables, this modernist building provides a unique and authentic experience for travelers.

You can get all you need but it's a little crowded and crazy. I recommend you focus in your shopping because you can find good deals. Dont distract with anything. Personally, I started looking cotton shirts, some souvenirs and Chinese products around Central Market.

A very crowded local market for everything you need. Ranging for fruits, meats, vegetables, home accessories, and dairy products. It's very clean for a traditional market and has various options for local and reasonably priced food for breakfast and lunch. They close early (because they open early) so do not come here for dinner.

This market is awesome! Great bargains and a wide variety of products. The hallways are pretty narrow so it will be tight. Make sure you know what you want to buy ahead of time and, as always in these kind of places, be careful with you stuff. If buying meet you’ll need to have some skills to check for freshness. You can also eat here, but beware you may need to build some defenses before going for it.

Such a nice, local and typical market! You can find everything you want from meat, to veggies to snacks! If it's on your way during a walking day in Lima just stop by. It's worth a visit. It's not"cute" or "scenic" but if you're looking for a local experience you'll definitely be satisfied! :)

The market is an explosion of activity and things to see that will tickle your senses and raise your appetite. A little of everything.

A great local market with really good food options, but also great for fresh fruits. There were many places for lunch, with few vegetarian options. The fruit stands were full of fresh local fruits for very fair prices. The lunch menus were also very fair priced.

This market isn’t just a market, it’s a delicious little universe where fresh fruit practically winks at you from the stands. Every corner is a temptation: stacks of tropical colors, that “just-picked” perfume in the air, and prices that make you wonder if you’ve accidentally time-traveled back to when things were actually affordable. Lunch options? Oh yes—plenty. Vegetarian choices? A few, though meat and seafood clearly run the show here. But the real crown jewel? Norma Cevichería. I wandered in expecting a decent meal, and instead, I got a culinary love affair. The Chilcano fish soup—comfort in a bowl, with just enough zing to make you sit up straighter. Then came the ceviche con chicharrones de pescado: fish so fresh it could’ve been swimming that morning, paired with golden, crunchy bites that made my fork dance. Service? Like visiting your favorite aunt who also happens to be a professional host—warm, quick, and genuinely delightful. If you come to this market and skip Norma, you’ve basically missed the headline act. Best huarique here, hands down. Bring an appetite, leave with a happy belly and a phone full of fruit photos you’ll pretend are “for Instagram.”

We were led to this market as part of a food tour. Many restaurants make their daily grocery runs here according to the guide. It’s a massive maze of stalls offering anything from a myriad of different maize varietals, potatoes to which I’ve found out that there are over 6,000 varieties in Peru alone and food stalls with massive portions that you should be warned about if you have other meals planned for your trip. Markets are a must visit whenever I travel and this is really local, untainted by tourist trappings and just hardworking Peruvians who are only happy to chat and make their trades of the day. Try their exotic fruits. My favourite was the lucuma, a red avocado (I know it doesn’t look red) native to the country that tastes like a rich, sweet pound cake. Mind blowing.

Its ok place for fruits n such, but to eat there like G said, I tried but was not great, cheap hell yeah, but meat quality 🥴 Again, cant expect something great for like $5

I had an amazing soup in this market, aquadito

we walked in and checked all the places ! Then we came across Don Danilo stall #486 ! When I tell you he was the kindest and most caring man we have met so far on the trip ! I am not able to eat anything raw which has me saddened because it’s one of the key dishes of Peru ! He took matters into his own hands decided to go buy raw shrimp ! Show it to me ! Cook it for me, show it to me again! Then serve it ! My husband ordered a regular raw ceviche as well and it was delightful! We also ordered chicken causas which were delicious !!

This market is legendary, only the best vegetables and fruit are sold here (be careful with peeled green Lima beans, seemingly processed a few days before) and they look very clean. Cooked food is so good long queues are for at midday. Meats look very good too. Market offers various services such as knife sharpening. There are antique shops nearby with good prices.

Opened before noon but completely set up after 3 pm, this shop offers a refreshing change from the typical Inca market vibe. Instead of souvenirs, they stock everyday essentials like snacks, tees, comfy clothes, and PJs made from cozy Peruvian cotton. I ended up finding more great deals here than at the Inca market

A cute little market full of food and souvenir stalls. Some a bit kitsch but a nice visit all in all. Also live music sometimes... Closed Mondays & Tuesdays.

Nice place for strolling and looking around. It's a hip place with lots of interesting local clothing, food, arts & more. The live music or other activities are very cool too. The place overall is very beautiful and inviting.

Very cool to explore this little market with crafts, art, clothes, food and a wide range of products. There are many stalls and it's nice to walk around at night.

Such beautiful place!! There is a bunch of tiny shops inside ranging from different types of food (sweet and salty), different clothing stores, even tea shops! As well as coffee shops. There is even a spot where you can get plants 😍. We went on Sunday afternoon so there were some workshops happening for kids and to end the night Herencia Criolla played live for about an hour ✨✨ And in case you were wondering, yes, there are clean bathrooms inside for 1 Sol 👌🏽

Local artists' creations, live music, great food, local beer. This place is amazing!

I loved this place. A must if you are strolling in Barranco. You find clothes, food, vintage stuff and loads of other things!

The food and drinks were very good, but the service was somewhat distant; they should be more committed to their customers and were quite cold in their approach. However, what surprised me the most, and I won't let this go unnoticed, is that one of the glasses broke on the table because I accidentally bumped it against another glass. I called them to be careful, and they told me they would charge me for it—a cheap glass—but the lack of delicacy impressed me. If I hadn't mentioned it, they wouldn't have noticed. I've never seen anything like this anywhere else: charging for a cheap glass."

We arrived at midnight. The lobby had a musician film crew & the music was loud. Filming went on past 6am. None of this was posted on their website. I guess we know where their priorities lie. We had just finished a 5-6 hr. bus ride back from Huacuchina. We all still needed a shower or bath. after all the music & filming went on all night. guess what??? NO hot water in any rooms. NO heat/ rooms were very cold. It is middle of May. The bathrooms are huge & they have that step up. The internet is great at this Hotel but very slow. By now it was 9am. : Coffee & Breakfast took a long time coming & there were only 2 tables. There are not a lot of people staying at this hotel. it does not take that much time to make coffee. Very Opulent Surroundings but we did not feel like Kings or Queens or even their guests. Service was SLOW. There were 3 of us. Rooms are okay. There were many, many tours going on. I guess that's how they make their money. not many people stay here. I would not recommend staying here for any money & the busy, busy, noise. & just the musicians that took over. We ended up getting our one night money back & then we asked for a refund for the next 2 nights & we left. I'm happy we did. not at Bolivar any more. the manager was a wonderful, polite, & apologetic person but the Hotel has to be updated. Internet, hot water, breakfasts etc....

The historical aspect of the hotel is certainly impressive and gives it a unique charm. However, it’s clear that absolutely nothing has been updated since the hotel was first built. I understand the appeal of preserving history, but there are ways to maintain a property so that it ages gracefully — unfortunately, that’s not the case here. The moment we walked into the lobby, we were overwhelmed by a foul, nauseating smell that followed us all the way to the room. The walls were dirty, the curtains were stained, and the overall condition felt neglected. The only indication that the room had been cleaned was the strong smell of bleach, which mixed unpleasantly with the persistent odors in the hotel. Despite its potential, the experience was disappointing due to poor maintenance and a lack of basic cleanliness. With some care and investment, this place could truly shine — but as it stands, it feels like a beautiful building left to decay.

What a strange hotel experience. The historical look is beautiful, but otherwise did not feel welcome here. When returning in the evening the place is covered in scary looking security guards, all of whom appear very skeptical that anyone actually stays at this hotel as a guest. And none of them speak English in order to discern who belongs and who doesn't. We were almost not allowed to enter the front door, and then once finally inside a man refused to let us go to the elevators and was unable to communicate to us why we couldn't go to the room we paid for.

Did not stay here but went there as a meeting point for a city tour. Great history. Worth visiting to see the architecture and read about the history of the hotel.

I did not stay at the hotel overnight, rather I went to the restaurant. A member of my party had called before our arrival to ensure that my party would be able to sit on the terrace given the number of people with us, and they said yes. When we arrived, however, they told us that they could not do that. It was a rather annoying inconvenience but we were okay with sitting inside. A few minutes after ordering we were moved by the staff outside to the terrace, which would have been a kind gesture if the staff and waiters weren’t clearly in a bad mood. They seemed annoyed that they had to do it and put tables together to fit everyone. The food and drinks in and of themselves were good, but the attitude of the servers was just not good and it really devalued the entire experience. They need to do better.

We did not stay here but had a refreshing Pisco Sour on a hot afternoon in the bar area. Beautiful historic hotel with wonderful antiques and stained glass. Wish they kept up the interior better, vacuumed the rug in the entryway, dusted, etc.

(Translated by Google) The price is reasonable, but the place has already lost its pork flavor, apparently they cook it and then fry it, but if they cook it for too long it loses its flavor and when they fry it they try to reactivate it, but with the bread you can't taste it. The Creole sauce is passable, and I really like the coffee since it's strong and hot ♨️. (Original) El precio es cómodo, pero el lugar ya bajo su sabor del chancho al parecer lo ponen a cocinar y luego lo fríen pero si lo coccionan mucho tiempo pierde su sabor y al freírlo intentan reactivarlo pero con el pan no se lo siente, la salsa criolla pasable y el café si me gusta mucho ya que te lo dan cargado y caliente ♨️.

Honestly, restaurants in the historic center tend to be mid but this was very good. I would recommend it if you are near there. Good price-value.

Service is great, even though they do not speak English, keren spent her time, very patient with us, use online translator, I got what I wanted. Good value too. Recommend’ many local people here, bathroom is clean.

This place was really good! Food and service were excellent 👌🏼

I'm not at all surprised that this place gets very crowded during lunch hours when employees from nearby offices come for a quick meal. The portions are very generous, and the fish is truly fresh. However, for me, the place is quite noisy. It’s definitely not a spot where you can sit down and enjoy a quiet meal. It’s a great place for fresh, well-priced ceviche, but it's more of a quick dining experience rather than a relaxed one. Besides ceviche and the nice combo sets that offer different fish combinations, I also had parihuela. It took about 20–25 minutes to prepare, but it was very good and came in a large portion.

The ceviche is AMAZING! I love their trio combinations. The place is small, and when busy the food can take 30 minutes. The chicha morada is refreshing, a bit sweet but a must try. The portions are generous. The staff is nice but it can be hard to get their attention. Mi

Humble yet nice restaurant with excellent ceviche at a good price. It was truly amazing!

Great place. Fresh Ceviche, friendly service, great drinks and priced well.

Food was decent, portion size generous. Good for a quick eat and just that

Best sliced pork ...

(Translated by Google) Recommended. Its story is one that gives a plus to your experience eating at this restaurant (you should consult one of the waiters). The Mixed 1/4 chicken and pork is a delight, changing the fries for parboiled sweet potato, it makes you feel like you're eating at a country club. The service is fast and friendly... (Original) Recomendado. Su historia es de las que te le dan un plus a tu experiencia comiendo en este restaurante (debes consultar a uno de los meseros). El Mixto de 1/4 de pollo y chancho es una delicia, cambiando las papas fritas por camote sancochado, te hace sentir que estas comiento en una club campestre. La atención es rápida y amable...

(Translated by Google) I ordered the pork in the cylinder and a carapulcra with dry soup, the first tasted good, however the second dish did not, if you are going to eat there just order the pork in the cylinder, price - quality has a good relationship. I would come back for the pig. I didn't like the service, it took more than half an hour to bring the dishes and the place wasn't full. (Original) Pedí el chancho al cilindro y una carapulcra con sopa seca, el primero tuvo buen sabor, sin embargo el segundo plato no, si vas a comer ahí solo pide el chancho al cilindro, precio - calidad tiene buena relación. Volvería por el chancho. La atención no me gustó, demoraron más de media hora para traer los platos y no estaba lleno el local.

(Translated by Google) The experience was pleasant. I understand that initially it was a garage where they repaired cars but that later the owner Don Pedro decided to change direction and dedicate himself to the cylinder pig. The attention is fast. The environment is ventilated and cool but a little smoke comes in from the cylinder. The food is very nice. They have a variety of cylinder meats such as Pork, Chicken and Duck, they also have a good Lasagna and a spectacular Chaufa without leaving aside a very delicious Lomo Saltado. The prices are slightly high and it seems to me that the place could be better decorated. The bathrooms are clean but they do not have a special one for the disabled. You can pay in cash and by card but only Visa. It has street parking but it is guarded. Finally I tell you that alcohol consumption is limited. (Original) La experiencia fue agradable. Tengo entendido que inicialmente era un garage donde reparaban automóviles pero que posteriormente el dueño Don Pedro decidió cambiar de giro y dedicarse al chancho al cilindro. La atención es rápida. El ambiente es ventilado y fresco pero entra un poco de humo del cilindro. La comida es bien agradable. Tienen variedad de carnes al cilindro como Chancho, Pollo y Pato, además tienen una Lasaña buena y un Chaufa espectacular sin dejar de lado un Lomo Saltado muy rico. Los precios están ligeramente elevados y me parece que el local podría estar mejor decorado. Los baños son limpios pero no tienen uno especial para discapacitados. Puedes pagar en efectivo y con tarjeta pero solo Visa. Cuenta con estacionamiento en la calle pero está vigilado. Finalmente les comento que el consumo de alcohol es limitado.

Yummy sandwiches, the bread is soooo soft and fresh. The chips portion is HUGE and they’ve got so many different sauces. Highly recommend!

The sandwiches were fresh and generously filled with meat—one was big enough to satisfy me on its own. The drinks were just as good. The chicha morada had the perfect level of sweetness, not over the top, and the emoliente was delicious. We tried both the classic and the mango-passion fruit fusion, and both were amazing. Highly recommend giving them a try!

(Translated by Google) From what I can see, the place is new. During my brief stay in Lima, I went there twice. The service is top-notch. Although the place is very clean and tidy, it faces the street directly, which can be a bit noisy. The bread with chicharrón is very good, but the one at "El Chinito" is a step above. (Original) Por lo que veo el local es nuevo. En mi breve estadía en Lima fui dos veces. La atención es de lo mejor. El local aunque es muy limpio y ordenado, da a la calle directamente y puede resultar un poco ruidoso. El pan con chicharrón está muy bien pero el de "El Chinito" está un escalón por encima.

(Translated by Google) Delicious sandwiches with quality meat. We recommend the one with lomo, cheese, and caramelized onion. There's a bit of a wait to find a seat because it's very popular. (Original) Panini buonissimi con carne di qualità. Consigliamo quello con il lomo, queso e cipolla caramellata. Necessaria un po’ d’attesa per trovare un posto a sedersi perché molto frequentato

First timers from Hawaii and the chichorron was amazeballs

Spent a few days in Miraflores down the street from La Lucha. OOMMGGG we were obsessed!!! The ordering line moves quickly and if its not too pack you don't wait too long for your order. The services is great and the workers that go around cleaning and picking up and serving are so kind. I got the lechon with extra meat, extra onions, fries, and the asado de res. Both coming up to less than 40 soles per person. I will be dreaming about that sandwich until I visit again!

(Translated by Google) Excellent service. I ordered extra chicken and a different type of bread. I really liked the special juice. (Original) Buena atención, pedí pollo extra y otro tipo de pan. Me gustó bastante el jugo especial.

The picarones (Camote Donuts) stand. Crispy outside and served with syrup. The syrup was already put there but I wish I could get without it to appreciate the flavor more. "Portion " is the minimum order quantity of 5.

First time trying picarones! They seemed like they had been sitting out for a while, so they weren’t as fresh as I’d hoped. Still very yummy, but they would have been even better if they were warmer. They came with lots of honey or syrup, which was delicious but did attract quite a few bees—so watch out!

Freshly cooked portion of picarones with a sweet syrup to go with it. Very crunchy and the right balance of sweet (but I have a sweet tooth). Nice to eat in the cold evening in the park.

Fresh and very good portion! A bit too much syrup for me but overall a great street food!

The picarones were okay here. We had much better ones at a market. The ones we had here did not taste as fresh and the bees would not leave me alone. Unfortunately I think whenever a place has a sign that says as seen on Netflix that is a bad sign.

You can buy a set of five for $10 PEN. The miel de chancaca was genuinely delicious. It was not the other light versions you get, so that was great. The picaroens themselves were great for me, but for my mom and sister, they were now cooked well enough. I could have used one more minute in the oil frying. Overall, it was delicious.

Worse picarones I've every had, they were undercook and not much flavor. Also the lady making the anticuchos had an bad attitude. I've had better and cheaper

(Translated by Google) Rich, fair price. The only bad thing is that they forgot to give me the. Tiger's milk and they gave me when I was done with it. Very good overall. (Original) Rico, precio justo lo. Único malo es que se olvidaron de darme la. Leche de tigre y me dieron cuando ya acabe por lo. General muy bueno.
