Pacha Papa Restaurant

Pacha Papa is a little restaurant in a courtyard with tables under umbrellas known for their Peruvian food. It is a relaxing setting with wooden tables where you can see bread baking in the wood burning oven. We went in the middle of the afternoon but there were still several people eating at that late hour.

I ordered an alpaca stew with alpaca meat and olluco tubers. It was served with fried bananas and rice and was really, really good. The alpaca tasted like beef and I’m not a huge fan of beef but I wanted to try it. I passed most of the meat off to my friends but thoroughly enjoyed the stew. My friends all got Chica Jora – a type of corn beer. They liked it but I didn’t care for it. Everyone really enjoyed their meals. The food was excellent and service great. The menu was in both English and Spanish. Yum yum.
