Trujillo serves up delicious fresh seafood and a variety of excellent meat dishes. Try the cebiche made with fish or shellfish; causa, a casserole made of mashed potatoes and layers of fillings; tasty cabrito al horno (roast kid) or seco de cabrito (stewed kid); or shámbar, a bean stew tinged with mint.
With its wooden balconies overlooking the street and rustic-chic interior, this steak house gets high marks for ambience as well as flavor. Vegetarians have a few pastas to choose from, but the main reason to go are the rib eyes and filets mignons. There's also an extensive, if pricey, drink list.
