Donde Mauro — Restaurant in Antofagasta

This restaurant was recommended by my host. The establishment looked to be a bit above my means, but I was determined to have a nice Peruvian meal prior to leaving after 3 months in South America. As soon as I entered the establishment several staff (or owners) came to my assistance. I do not speak much Spanish and the staff don’t speak much English. I had never eaten Peruvian food before so we patiently reviewed the details of what I liked to eat and what they had to serve and what I had to spend through Google Translate.
