El Chinito - Review - Centro - Lima - The Infatuation

"El Chinito has earned its place as the classic sanguchería that has seen generations of Limeños grow up. Founded by Félix Yong in 1960 and now run by his son, its specialty is the pan con chicharrón: hearty fried pork, sliced and tucked into fresh Peruvian French bread roll with crisp sweet potato rounds and zarza criolla. Pair it with a strong drip coffee for the ultimate Limeño breakfast. And always, always, a tamal on the side. El Chinito has expanded the menu of Chinese and Peruvian flavors (and the number of locations) over the years, working its own turkey, ribs, pork loin, and even a chaufarroncito , or fried rice with little bits of pork crackling." - Paola Miglio
