Recommendations

"El Torito restaurant was founded 65 years ago by Mr. Fausto Luyo, a butcher who, with his vast experience in beef, did not hesitate to open an establishment to sell sancochado. Today the place, which is managed by the Luyo family, offers us a hearty dish. Here the flavor of the broth is provided by the herbs and vegetables that have been boiled together with the meat. By tasting it, you will immediately travel back in time and feel like you are eating Grandma's warm broth."
"In places like El Torito in Surco, famously known for its exceptional sancochado, you can get limitless amounts of stock to finish up the mountain of vegetables and meat."
"Nothing better than coming to El Torito to try a rich, well-proportioned soup made with delicious ingredients to combat the harsh winter that is approaching."
