Chifles
Thinly sliced, toasted banana chips. My favorite snack.
Palta Rellena (Stuffed Alvocado)
In Lima, you can get a "menú" for about 6 soles, which means a starter, a entree, a drink and dessert. All for about 2 USD. Its always the best when Palta rellena, salad or sandwich is on the list. I love PALTAS!
Papa Rellena
Ever since I got my hands on one of these hot potatoes, I can't resist but to buy them whenever I see them. The go for S/.1 by street vendors all around Lima. Add a little Aji, and I'm in heaven.
Arroz con Mariscos
One of my favorite entrees. The flavor is amazing. I always choose rice with seafood when I'm at seaside locations. Its my preference over ceviche. I hate fish, but I love squid, octopus and shrimp!
Lomo Saltado
Delicious!! I have never had a lomo I haven't loved. One of the few dishes with meat that I enjoy and that I have never had a bad experience with. Its a Peruvian take of a Chinese dish that has been incorporated into the Peruvian mainstream. So much so, they don't sell it anymore at Chifas (chinese restaurants).
Salsa de Aji
Aji is a Peruvian hot chili pepper. By hot, I mean hot! If you don't believe me, just ask Andrew lol. Colors and level of spicyness vary, but its always delicious, on any of the above dishes.
Inca Kola
A crisp, refreshing Inca Kola is always a great way to wash down any Peruvian dish. I don't usually drink to much soda, but Inca Kola is my exception.
