Customer Reviews
No frills diner offering delicious pork sandwiches at affordable prices for the masses. Locals queueing as soon as it opens.
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 $
Go there for dinner. Food is tasty, quite expensive for what you get. Nice for people who love meat. On the other hand you have view for Plaza Mayor.
One of the best places in Lima to eat sanguches. The sanguches are delicious and cheap 😁. I had the smoked pork sandwich but next time I will try chicharrón
