Restaurant

If you want meat –if you really, really want meat– we're talking a nice, big, juicy steak served with golden, crisp fries, a freshly tossed salad topped with an impeccable dressing, warm rolls and a fine red wine, then head to El Hornero. It's a family-owned and managed restaurant in Chorrillos.

The beauty is that you can indulge in all this, while under an open window terrace, taking in a soft sea breeze and a view that stretches to the horizon. Of course, instead of a single meal, you could order an individual BBQ that's brought to your table, which easily feeds three or four hungry people. It comes with sausages, chicken, pork and steak. It sounds almost perfect, but perhaps it is perfect when you throw in the great Pisco Sours, sublime desserts, damask napkins, large goblets, friendly service and reasonable prices. Yes, you've got it all at El Hornero.

Open for lunch and dinner, but more popular at lunchtime. Try to get a table on the second floor.

The service was terrible! The waiter cleared the table while my mom was still eating, he only left her plate... He offered us wine from the restaurant's list and we declined,  since we brought our own wine (it's allowed). That's what, we think, ticked him off. I don't remeber his name, but he was wearing a chunky gold ring on his pinky.

Good meat, So-So service

The meat was great, really tasty and juicy. But, I think the waiters are either overrun or underpaid, because they didn't match the check.
