Panchita is a fancy place inspired in the typical Peruvian picanterias and anticucherias, that is, traditional, popular, working-class intended creole food spots. Despite being a little pricey for locals, its superb cuisine and flavors make it an unmissable spot for both local and foreigners, so keep in mind that you will need to book a table in advance if you don't want to wait at the bar. The most requested dish here is the anticuchos ,(beef heart, grilled) and there's also a wide array of different and delicious creole food options, like the Aji de Gallina or the Lomo Saltado.

- Best Restaurants: "Don't forget to ask the waiter for some of the extremely sweet Peruvian creole desserts, like the picarones (a kind of fried doughnuts), the Arroz con Leche, or many others like the colorful Turron de Do�a Pepa. There's valet parking service if needed."
