Fodor's Review:
Filled with a dozen or so marble-topped tables, Las Mesitas is an old-fashioned café a block north of Parque Municipal. The constant stream of Limeños lets you know that the food is first rate. You couldn't do better than share a few humitas, steamed tamales that you season with pickled onions or bright yellow hot sauce. The best are those stuffed with chicken, onions, and green corn. If the floor's pinwheel design doesn't make you feel a bit off balance, then the spinning dessert display certainly will. Try the mazamorra morada, a sweet pudding of cornmeal and candied fruit.
