What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Las Mollejitas De San Andres is celebrated for its historic and authentic Peruvian chicken gizzard dishes, with many praising the unique garlic and soy sauce preparations. While the food is often described as delicious and a must-try in Trujillo, some diners find the prices have increased and the quality has become average. The limited menu and cash-only policy are also noted points.
"Historical place to eat in Trujillo, they just serve 3 different dishes: gizzards in garlic sauce, soy sauce and also fried sundried beef, all of them absolutely delicious. It's the original place where the gizzard dishes were born and no other has been able to reproduce the same taste. It's my must visit point every time I come to Trujillo."

"Mollejitas. Chicken Gizzards. In garlic sauce or soy sauce. With yuca, boiled, or fried, and onion-chili salad. That's the menu. And some of the best mollejitas you can get in Trujillo!"
