Cusco Peru Lunch

It was called chicken stew. I went with one of the locals I met who I asked out to lunch to help me get a better handle on food in Cusco. We went to this great little restaurant where I had this fabulous lunch for $3. This plate was just the main dish. In addition I had an appetizer, a soup and a drink. There was way more than I could eat. One thing I’ve learned over the years is to go to lunch or dinner with locals. They know a lot more about where to go and what to eat than any guide book author. That’s not to say that guidebooks should be ignored. It’s just that locals are so much better versed in what’s going on at the local eateries.
