AjiPanka

$$ Fodor's Choice

Almost completely hidden in a small B&B down a dusty side street between Ica and Huacachina, this criollo restaurant still manages to draw a stream of customers. On the phenomenal menu, all the Peruvian national classics are present, but even better are the hard-to-find Southern Coast favorites like carapulcra with sopa seca (nutty pork-and-potato stew with green pasta), fish with pecan sauce, and beef with butter-bean tacu tacu. The attached guesthouse is so lovely that many diners end up staying the night. You won't find better eats anywhere in southern Peru.

El Cordón y La Rosa

$$$
This bright little spot bills itself as a criollazo, a total onslaught of Peruvian coastal cooking. With its big portions and broad menu, it definitely lives up to that claim. The pescado a lo macho (fish in creamy seafood sauce) is delicious and filling, but really, you can't go wrong here, whatever you order.
