Probably the most renowned criollo restaurant, José Antonio is a must for food lovers and gourmets. Here you won't find crossover or fusion cuisine, but just the simple traditional dishes that Peruvians have been enjoying for decades. With 30 years around, José Antonio's menu includes some of the superstar dishes of Lima's gastronomic scene. Such is the case of the apanado (breaded steak accompanied with tacu-tacu, fried banana, fried egg, and a raw spicy onion sauce), and the great Piqueo, a huge plate containing the best criollo appetizers: anticucho (skewer of beef heart), stuffed potato, crispy yucca, corn tamale, deep fried pork, corn, and sweet potato.

The rustic décor, set to transport you to a Spanish conquistador ranch, is plenty of bull-fighting adornments, bare wood furniture, and pictures from the Cuzco school of painting.

There is 2nd José Antonio in av. La Floresta 124, Chacarilla del Estanque (Phone 372-6868).
