If you want to eat like a local in downtown Lima, head to El Chinito. This legendary sanguchería has been serving up delicious pork sandwiches since 1960, and its Plaza de Armas location is perfect for a quick stop while sightseeing.

The star of the show? The pan con chicharrón: a hard roll stuffed with slow-cooked pork, fried sweet potatoes, and salsa criolla. It’s a staple of Lima’s food scene and one of the best sandwiches in Peru.

Pro Tip: Go early in the day. Limeños often eat these sandwiches for breakfast with coffee. It’s the perfect fuel for a day of exploring the historic center.
