Recommendations

"The versions of papa a la huancaína are like nothing you've had before, and the brightly costumed waiters take joy in introducing the region's cuisine to visitors."
"Other delights include papas a la huancaína (potatoes with a creamy cheese sauce)."
"I begin to think that this kitchen is handled with ease and I confirm it with a good cuy frito. It is tender and the skin is crunchy, but I like the ajiaco de papas y habas that accompanies it better. A good dish, no matter where you look."
"Best Papa a la Huancaina: Huancahuasi - Huancayo-native Paola Palacios Melgar prepares the sauce with a batán stone."
"In Huancahuasi restaurant, eating a Papa a la Huancaina is a return to the last century, because there it has been decided to maintain the tradition. The sauce, with its stumps of cheese crushed with the batán, is giving it a texture that enhances the flavor, even more while it's covering huge sandy and native potatoes."
"Papa a la Huancaina is prepared in batán not in a blender, so you can feel the pieces of cheese and chili in a delicious combination of flavors. The potatoes have a sandy texture that I have not found anywhere else in Lima. Just trying something so good justifies the visit to this restaurant."
"Highly recommended."
"One of the classic places to eat guinea pig is Huancahuasi. It joins our list with the crispy and tender guinea pig chactado."
"I loved the fried guinea pig."
"I loved the ceviche."
