Description:

If you are about to embark on, or are just finishing the long, dirt-road journey between Huancayo and Ayacucho, this is the perfect pitstop to fuel the human.

Prices are not written down but are resonable, portions are generous and quality is excellent.

The homemade flan is stupendous.

This is the type of establishment that could easily be missed, as it is outside of town on the highway. But it would be a shame to miss it.

Description

Had breakfast - and then enjoyed it so much, ordered dessert as well.

Best bits: The best wasn't just the food or the ambiance, but was also the friendliness of the staff, the cleanliness of the attractive roadside restaurant, and watching the owner run with exuberance as she served food from the kitchen to the tables was absolutley adorable - like a scene from a movie. We were the only non-locals dining in the establishment.

Worst bits: None. I wasn't keen on the feta-like homemade cheese but they serve a generous slab to the table if you order eggs - and if it was a cheese that you liked - you'd have scored.
