In a resort where mediocre tourist fare is the norm, this Peruvian eatery stands out. Here, after a long day on the dunes, you can replenish your system with a host of seafood options, as well as chicharrones and a few local specialties like seco de res con pallares (beef stew with butter beans). Prices are a bit high, but worth it.
What the cooks at this tiny eatery do, they do very well. Sure, the menu is a bit limited, but it does feature local favorites like carapulcra with sopa seca along with vegetarian plates like mango cebiche and a great quinoa salad. The pizzas, too, are solid. It's a good option for those craving something a bit finer than the normal backpacker grub.
