Go Ask A Local

"Enjoy a Pachamanca. It should be at the top of your eating priorities."

Alden Wicker

"We settled in at an outdoor table, where a romantic meal for two had been laid out for us, with two local sauces, three kinds of meat, a salad with nasturtiums, potatoes, fava beans, and the soufflé. Illich and I looked at each other with amazement. This had to be the most romantic, sustainable, and meaningful dinner we had ever had. It was perfect."

"Chicken, lamb ribs, and pork belly. So, so, so good. The picture does not do justice. It tasted like it had been both braised and charcoal-seared at the same time - this is the unique result of the pachamanca style of cooking. Dipping sauces, made of many ingredients like aji amarillo (yellow pepper), onion, garlic, cheese, peanuts, and other spices unique to Peru. (everything was so good that we barely used them, though)."

"The food was delicious! All of the dishes were well seasoned and cooked perfectly. There was WAY too much food for three people to finish. Oscar came by and offered us more meat but I just could not eat anymore because I was so full. The amount of food that was prepared could have easily fed two more people. For this Pachamanca Lunch, we paid $35.00/person which after experiencing the whole event, we thought the food and the experience was well worth it!"

From Across the Kitchen Table

"These potatoes were incredibly good and I found myself eating more and more of the ollucos, the ones which are tubular in shape with bright yellow skin. It has a soft texture, slimier than most potatoes and a slightly sweet taste. Chicken is well seasoned and cooked perfectly."

"The food that came out of the pachamanca was absolutely delicious – the meat and potatoes were crispy and charred on the outside, with a slight smokey favour, but succulent and soft on the inside."
