"For a quick lunch on the boardwalk, there may be no more satisfying option than El Huarique, a longtime Peruvian stand in an alleyway food court just off of Ocean Front Walk. Chef Ernesto Guitierrez slings some of the finest rotisserie chicken in this part of town, punched up with a bright aji verde sauce that pairs well with the restaurant’s garlic rice or french fries. If chicken isn’t on the agenda, then the ceviches certainly should be: Lip-puckering from a lime and rocoto pepper marinade, the plates are chock-full of sweet potato slices, chewy choclo kernels, and cancha, a deep-fried corn." - Matthew Kang, Nicole Adlman
