Puebo Libre is an 8-10 Sol ride from Miraflores. It seems to be a middle class neighborhood, and El Bolivariano is just a really nice neighborhood restaurant.
This is a typical Peruvian restaurant, serving typical Peruvian (Criollo) food. I was the only foreigner in there. The deal on Sunday in many restaurants is the buffet brunch, and this restaurant serves off the menu in the front, and has the buffet in the big, covered courtyard in the back. The place was full of families (and me). The selection was outstanding: six different ceviches, a bunch of different salads, mussels, scallops, and about a dozen hot dishes, ranging from rice & seafood, to beef, chicken, some fried stuff, and of course, an entire pig. You could also get anticuchos (beef hearts on a stick) on demand. They were disappointed that I didn’t want any. There were dessert choices, too: a few different versions of rice pudding, some small pastries, and the always exciting Live Donut Vat Fryer.
Also included in the price was a welcome drink of Pisco Sour, and all you wanted of Chicha Morada (a purple corn drink that tastes a lot better than it sounds). The whole thing was 39 Soles (under $13), and I waddled away fatter and happier than when I arrived.
