Eatery
Peruvian street food is renowned for its vibrant flavors and unique combinations that reflect
the diverse culinary heritage of the country. At El Gordo Eatery, we bring the excitement 
and authenticity of these street-side treats right to your table. Here are some of the must-
try Peruvian street food dishes that we proudly serve.
Anticuchos – The Heart of Peruvian Street Food
Anticuchos are a popular street food staple in Peru, and they offer a taste adventure for 
those willing to explore new flavors. Typically made from marinated beef heart skewers, 
grilled to perfection, and served with a spicy aji sauce, anticuchos are both flavorful and 
tender. At El Gordo, we prepare them with traditional marinades to ensure authentic taste 
and serve them with a side of boiled potatoes or corn.
Papas a la Huancaína – A Creamy Comfort Dish
Papas a la Huancaína is a beloved Peruvian dish that features sliced boiled potatoes covered
in a creamy, spicy sauce made from aji amarillo peppers, cheese, and milk. This dish is 
typically garnished with olives and boiled eggs, offering a delightful blend of textures and 
flavors. It’s perfect as an appetizer or a light meal and exemplifies the simplicity and richness
of Peruvian cuisine.
Salchipapas – A Fun Fusion Treat
Salchipapas is a fun and casual dish that combines two of the most loved foods: sausages 
(salchichas) and French fries (papas). This dish is a favorite among both kids and adults and 
is often enjoyed as a quick snack or a late-night treat. At El Gordo, our Salchipapas are 
served with a variety of sauces, including the classic Peruvian mayonnaise and the spicy 
rocoto sauce, making it a customizable and always enjoyable meal.
