La Calesa

Sur Chico


This restaurant serves Peruvian staples, such as garlic-roasted chicken, lomo saltado (stir-fried beef with spices, onions, tomatoes and potatoes) and ceviche appetizers fit for a meal. The pisco sours are memorable as is the suspiro, a Peruvian dessert made from manjar (dulce de leche, a caramel sauce) and meringue and laced with pisco.
