Casually Doomed

After sadly discovering that my favorite cevicheria will be closed until the owners get back from vacation a day after I arrive back in the US, we decided to grab our lunch at a small restaurant near the Plaza de Armas. I ordered lomo saltado, which is a mixed plate of marinated steak, onions, peppers, tomatoes and french fries. It is a cheap and extremely popular dish here and it really hits the spot on a rainy day.

Marco had milanesa de pollo, which is a thin piece of chicken breaded and fried and served with rice and french fries:

We washed down our food with a couple of glasses of chicha morada, which is a sweetened, purple juice made from the mutant corn here, and the whole thing came out to a total of just under 5 dollars for the both of us.
