10. Restaurante Inca
Reviewed By 24justme49
Inca is a tradition in Huancayo. Their calientitos naranja are a wonderful way to start an evening or end a hectic day. It would seem that all of the city agrees.... there is rarely an open table from 5-8pm and there are over 40 tables.

Es un restaurante muy grande aunque no me atraveria a decir que es turistico, solo vi familias de personas locales, muy popular la pachamanca en todas la mesas por lo menos habia un par que degustaban esto, yo tambien pedi una pero no me parecio con un sabor muy atractivo, la papa picante muy condimentada, el chancho al palo nada que ver como el de Ramirez (de Lima) ... y sobre todo el promedio del precio por plato debe ser unos 30 soles, tampoco es que sea muy económico.

Heard so much about their fantastic soups (caldos) and when we got there by 1:00 pm they were all gone. It seems people line up very early, lets say breakfast. I guess this is a good omen and will try again.However, we did have lunch and it was below par. The carnero al palo was not roasted on an open pit. It was done in a cacerole ('a la olla') with spices. Otherwise, the meat would be crusty on the outside. The roast pork ('chancho al cilindro') was too greasy. Partly due to the cut itself, but the accompanying gravy was extremely greasy and covered the plate. My beef's tongue ('lengua') was very nice, as was the meat-filled rocoto '(rocoto relleno').The service was terrible. Waiters pass-by without looking. They brought the main dish in advance of the soup for one of us--which was expressly requested otherwise. The cutlery is feeble, the table not so clean.Dish presentation was ugly. All piled up, making a mountain on the plate. Some people might think this is a full plate ('tai pa'...as they say in Peru), but to me it is low class.Prices are expensive. Some dishes more than others. We paid from S/.20-30 per dish.However, people flock to this restaurant. I guess that in Huancayo I am the crazy stranger that demands a clean environment, good service, decent cutlery, proper plate presentation, etc.

This restaurant was highly recommended. Huancainos eat here. Service was prompt. Food on lunch menu looked much more diverse. Our caldo de gallina was good. A good option.

Visited the locale near the Cathedral in Huancayo. It is dirty and ugly from the outside. The oven vent drips with grease. Better inside.Very decent chicken, well cooked and moist. So-so french fries--not crispy at all, more like boiled rather than fried.Not inexpensive for Huancayo, but better quality than other 'pollerias'.
4. La Tullpa
The best traditional food of the Andes. Delicious dishes with local flavor and regional ingredients of high quality.

The setting is lovely (this property used to house Challwaq). About twelve tables, some sofás, and a small bar.Went twice in the last two weeks. The tables half-empty at lunch-time. Two attendants who gave good service.Prices are extremely reasonable for the quality. Liked very much the 'sopa de ollucos'. It was more like a fusion dish, not the typical Andean soup. The 'barbecued' pork was sweet, not smoky, more of a sugar glaze. The rice terrible and the french-fried native potatoes had been previously cooked--perhaps oven baked. They were too crisp. The Apple crepe for dessert was also good.The a-la-carte menú extremely limited. Only four choices.Feels more like a daily-menu-cafe than a restaurant that prepares different dishes.However, after reading all the extremely positive comments, I wonder why all the brouhaha? Perhaps hostel guests like the attention.

This cafe is a classic in Huancayo. They serve food, snacks, and at night they sell beverages and specially "calientitos". This hot drink is made with pisco (Peruvian alcoholic drink) and they also mix it with orange juice, honey and cinnamon. From my point of view, the "calientito" is the most delicious in town. If you visit in Huancayo you must try "calientito".

Have been several times to Huancahuasi. Love the setting, has parking, and sometimes live music (could be loud inside--opt for the outside tables). The waiters/waitresses are dressed in Andean-style clothing--and offer professional service. Great ambiance.Dishes could take a while. If it is pachamanca, it is ready to serve. However, a steak has to be prepared and could take long. It seats 150 pps. easy.It offers stylish food, novo-Andino, with great combos. Try the piqueos--a mix of trout cebiche, huancaina, and other small dishes. These are nice for the table.The food is decent, but not superlative. Only one time I have experienced true delight: carnero al palo sin hueso. This is a great option because the piece is pure meat. Costs a little bit more, but it is worth it. Have had it more than once...and the other time it was just good.
