Read moreWith all the reviews, I can only assume the quality could be inconsistent or it used to be good and now they've changed. We ate here Sunday evening, though busy it wasn't super busy. With all the hype of being "top 10 fast food chain in the world" expectations were ripe. What we got was the worst sandwich we've ever received from a fast food chain, worst than a dry cheeseburger from McDonald's. The signature chicharrón was dry, the bread was dry, it was cold (unsure if it is supposed to be like that?? ?) the potato piece did not really save it either and we didn't even receive onions which we didn't realise until after the meal because we were so flabbergasted with how bad the sandwich was. We were glad we got a drink to rehydrate our throats and food we were eating. The fries were thick cut though not oily (a plus) it didn't have great flavour either, so definitely not the best fries we've had. The worst part is the price to meat ratio, I don't normally write bad reviews but had we known we would never have spent our money on this, even if it's a "must try". 17 soles for the sandwich plus another 7 plus tax and service charge it came to be 25 soles for 1 sandwich, jnr fries and drink.

Read moreYou know a restaurant is great when you see the locals lined up outside down the streets. Fortunately, we were there during a downtime and got the last table. Counter service with table delivery. It’s a very popular Peruvian sandwich shop known for: Sánguches criollos – Peruvian-style sandwiches with fillings like roasted pork (lechón), beef tenderloin (lomo), turkey, and chicken. The Freshly made juices – especially chicha morada (purple corn drink) and maracuyá (passion fruit) are amazing along with the crispy hand-cut fries. Me and my friend had the fries and the Chicharrón: Thick slices of crispy, deep-fried pork belly with Camote frito: Slices of fried sweet potato. They were soft on the inside, slightly crispy on the outside. It is served with Salsa criolla: A tangy onion relish made with thinly sliced red onions, lime juice, chili (usually ají amarillo or rocoto), cilantro, and a touch of salt. The bread was incredible! It was served on a fresh French-style bun (soft yet slightly crusty), perfect for soaking up the juices without falling apart. We're definitely...
