El Tio Mario

One of the most traditional foods in Peru is called anticuchos, skewers of grilled meat – usually beef heart – marinated in vinegar and spices. El Tio Mario in Barranco is known for serving probably the best ones in town. Step inside this anticuchos temple overlooking the Bridge of Sighs and treat yourself to a portion of these tender and flavorful delights. Just remember to save some room for a couple of crispy picarones, the Peruvian version of a doughnut made with squash and sweet potato and covered in spiced syrup.
