What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
La Favorita is praised for its delicious regional Peruvian food served at very affordable prices, with generous portions that offer great value. Many appreciate the authentic local dishes and the peaceful dining atmosphere, though some reviews for a similarly named Italian restaurant suggest inconsistency in taste and quality.
"Great food at very good prices. Perfect for tasting regional food."
Johannes Frederking
"This place is always packed with locals which is a good sign. Classic Amazonian and Peruvian food options are available, price is good value for money (16-25 soles depending on item) and the portions are huge."

"I thought the food here was good. As of June 2023 the meal of the day costs 16 soles. My meal included a potato beet salad, and the main plate which had fish rice vegetables and beans and a large serving of a fruit-based drink. They still had a meal of the day available where other nearby restaurants had already run out (although this is understandable since it was a little after 2 pm). Recommended if you are in this area."
