Many are family-run and closely tied to the community around them.
What to order
- Pupusas, arepas or empanadas – inexpensive, handheld and a good introduction
- Ceviche – fresh citrus-cured fish, the signature of Peruvian kitchens
- Jerk chicken – smoky and spicy, a Jamaican staple

- Weekend menus may include special dishes such as sancocho or feijoada.
- Ask for the house hot sauce or pikliz – it is often made on site.
