Delicious, common restaurant fare at a mere PEN$4 or $6 (US$1.40 and $2, respectively), pollo a la brasa - basically cooked rotisserie-style - is super moist and tender. The heat in la brasa (picture one) comes from a wood fire. Pollo with the common lightly fried papas fritas in picture two (often it is also accompanied by rice).

Brocheta or anticucho de corazon (picture three) - skewer of cow heart with a few small vegetables. The heart has the consistency of kidney - thin, soft and tender - but with a warm, tasty beef flavor.

Like it´s camelito relative llama, alpaca is tasty but very chewy. Generally grilled over wood fire, it tastes like a less fatty beef. I prefer the llama, which is a bit more flavorful.
