WHERE TO EAT The best Chicharrón in the world (according to food experts)

"The hub of the Barrio de la Viña fun, with every inch of its walls covered in flamenco, bullfighting and Carnaval paraphernalia, always-busy Casa Manteca is full of old tapas favourites. Ask the chatty waiters for chicharrones (pressed pork with a squeeze of lemon)."

"One of the most traditional addresses. Chicharrones Gloria are well known. The portions are generous, not to say gargantuan, for the great pleasure of the people!"

"Now I know why the chicharrón del Trifásico is so famous... More than 1 pound of pure chicharrón... dry, meaty... beautifully caramelized, crunchy, juicy! This Chicharroncito of a thousand "legs", it's crazy!"

"Nothing says Cochabamba like a giant plate of fried chicharron (deep-fried chunks of pork), and nobody does it like Doña Pola. From the depths of her enormous copper pans, she has been serving up these super-crispy portions of pig on weekends for more than 50 years, and it's no secret that she is simply the best in town—come early."

"La Lucha is a well appreciated sandwich bar, by tourist but especially by locals. You should really try the chicharron (fried pork) with fries and a fresh fruit juice."

"Only open for lunch, its specialties include chicharrones (fried pork and cabbage). Eat your fill, and enjoy one of the Peruvian beers along with the traditional criolla music."

"Very good."

"Chicharrones del Inca was born at the beginning of the millennium with a first store in Surco, on Caminos del Inca Avenue, from which the name comes from. So much demand means that they are doing things right. Especially the chicharrón, which is always juicy and full of flavour."
