Enjoyed our meal there. Lots to choose from. If anything, the menu is too big, that seemed pretty typical of Lima. The bread service is excellent, so I'd get it (note they charge you but don't tell you that when they bring it over). The service was good and it's a fun atmosphere. Only complaint is that the tables are... More

I do go often to Panchita. I keep stating it is the best restaurant in town. Usually order barbecued beef heart, anticuchos, and steak, cuadril de lomo, never have gone wrong. However, I must say service has declined. In my previous to last visit, the waiter thought he knew more than it was necessary, and he disappeared many times, which... More

Food was excellent and Mega portions. Order to share to keep cost under control. That way it can be reasonable ($40 for two of us for lunch). They have great Peruvian dishes, so worth a visit. A bit of a chain feel though.

What a great dinner . Authentic Peruvian food at a good price. Loved everything we ordered. Cocktails were a little pricey but a good accompaniment to the food. Had a great time. Atmosphere was excellent

I read about this place on Tripadvisor and was pleased it was within walking distance from my hotel. We got there early and didn't need reservations but it was filling up fast when we left. The menu is very extensive and everything sounds so good and inexpensive too, and in such nice surroundings! I got a skewer of beef hearts... More

We went with my girlfriend tonight and took 2 dishes, 2 cocktails, 2 drinks and bread: 180 soles. At least, what I have to say to have tried other great fancy restaurants in Lima, is that this one play as a fancy expensive one but it doesn't have the level! I took pig and it was dry, with no sauce,... More

Panchita is certainly on my top 5 when visiting going back on holiday to Peru. Either for lunch or dinner, there is no doubt Panchita is a true reflection of amazing and perfect Peruvian cuisine. The best octopus I've ever tried is in Panchita. I still dream about it. The Lomo Saltado is also a must! Crispy French fries and... More

We came here with all our family and we had a very good time. The food was very good, the portions are very big! If you are in Peru is a good idea to visit one of Acurio's restaurants. Best chef in Peru!

It is one of the restaurants of the famous Peruvian chef Gaston Acudio (Cebichería la Mar, Astrid y Gastón…). You can get many of the traditional Peruvian dishes here. Probably the anticuchos (skewered meat, typically beef heart) are one of the most interesting dishes. Meals are generous so it’s great for the hungry ones. I didn’t found the flavors as... More
