WHERE TO EAT The best Anticuchos de corazon in the world (according to food experts)

"Beef heart kebabs called anticuchos are a favorite street snack in Lima and Tia Grimanesa is considered a master. Her sidewalk charcoal grill became so popular that crowds spilling into the street forced her into a storefront."

"Our friend Coque brought us to this place. To Dona Pochita, a street stall named for the lady who runs the joint. They specialize in one thing. Anticuchos is Quechuan for skewered meat. This stuff, they say, goes back all the way to the Incas and was as immediately popular with the Spanish conquistadors as it is today. Which is to say, I must have some. Traditionally a mix of beef hearts and other animal hearts. Marinated in garlic, cumin, and onion, maybe a little vinegar. Grill that up and pile it high. It does not get any better. Man, that's awesome. "

"Simple, delicious, and served relatively fast, Tío Mario’s has a following that stretches out the door on some nights, with patrons eagerly awaiting the tender beef hearts served with a side of roasted corn and potatoes."

"The grilled beef heart skewers, or Anticuchos, are a must try and celebrated superstar chef Gaston Acurio’s Panchita is a buzzy family friendly favourite with locals and well worth a visit."

"They are something truly extraordinary that you don’t want to miss."
