The patarascha fish was the move &mdash; banana leaf wrap kept it super moist, tomatoes and onions added just enough brightness. Sat inside because it&rsquo;s crazy hot out, and the AC made it way more comfortable. Flavor felt clean, not heavy. Would come back just for that dish. Maybe try the tacos next time.

The Amazon view from the front tables is solid, and the smoothie bowls were fresh. Prices run a bit higher than other spots in town, but the location makes up for it.

The camu camu sour was the best I&#39;ve had. Tart, refreshing, exactly what I needed. Service lagged a bit at lunch but the drink made up for it.

The tacacho con cecina was solid&mdash;big portion, smoky flavor. Place feels cozy too. Wish they had a bit more sauce on the side, but I&rsquo;d come back for that dish.

Decent spot for local food. Menu&#39;s simple, food&#39;s always solid. Good lunch choice when you don&#39;t wanna overthink it.

Stopped by on a Sunday night when everything else was shut. Got the regular taco&mdash;huge, honestly. Packed with flavor, didn&#39;t expect that. They take AMEX too, which is handy. Quick service, no wait. Solid choice if you&#39;re in the area and hungry late.

Stopped by for dinner and the vibe was chill, easy to relax. Got the lomo saltado, meat was tender but the fries got soggy fast. Portion decent for the price though. Service was friendly, didn&rsquo;t rush us. Would come back if I&rsquo;m in the area again.

The set menu at S/.20 is a solid deal&mdash;starter, main, and a drink. Service was okay, nothing special, but I didn&rsquo;t have to wait long.

Food was solid and portions are big, that&rsquo;s for sure. We waited a bit longer than I&rsquo;d like for our plates, but honestly the flavor made up for it. Place isn&rsquo;t right in the center, so you gotta make a bit of an effort to get there. I&rsquo;d still go back if I&rsquo;m craving that kind of food again.

The Amazon sampler gave me a good look at local flavors. Sauces were tasty, especially with the fried stuff. Camu camu sour was a nice change from the usual pisco sour, not too sweet. Place was busy for a Tuesday but we got seated quick. Fine for a casual bite if you&#39;re in the area.

The couches are so comfy and that view really sets the mood. Drinks were solid, food was just okay. Music made up for it though.

Right by the main square, can&#39;t beat the spot. Stopped in for dessert and coffee, the cake was really good. Service was quick, no complaints. Place gets busy but they handle it fine. Solid choice if you&#39;re in the area and want something sweet.
