From guinea pig and alpaca to some trout ceviche, it\u2019s all been wonderful! But, one of my favorite things to eat has to be street food. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There\u2019s a lot of it around and you\u2019ll see locals strategically placed throughout the city selling some of their homemade delights. It\u2019s very cheap and is super delicious, so I want to share with you a few of my favorites so that you can give them a try when in town.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-tamales\"><strong>Tamales<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Tamales aren\u2019t only a Peruvian delicacy. A lot of places across Southern and Latin America will sell them, but they\u2019ll all be a little different. In Cusco, they are slim and small, so great for a mid-morning snack. (They go great with coffee!) <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You get to choose between a sweet one, with a raisin inside, or a savory one, with pork\/chicken\/beef, onion, olive, and a bit of a kick. I don\u2019t have a favorite as it depends on what I fancy at the time. They\u2019re both great options and you\u2019ll find the best ones in the corner of the Plaza de Armas to the right of the Cathedral.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"920\" height=\"613\" src=\"https:\/\/www.salkantaytrekking.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/tamales-street-cusco-food.jpg\" alt=\"Tamales, Cusco street food\" class=\"wp-image-3070\" style=\"width:920px;height:613px\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-choclo-con-queso\"><strong>Choclo con Queso<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>This can often be a part of the main meal, too, but you\u2019ll see many ladies selling them around the streets to fill a whole when wandering and exploring. It\u2019s corn and cheese, but not how we know it. The corn is huge and really tasty and goes perfectly with the unique Andean cheese, Paria.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You want one that\u2019s hot so it tastes extra good, and can warm you up on a chilly day in the center. There are a few regulars who sell them around the main square, or if you\u2019re walking up to Sacsayhuaman, you\u2019ll see them at the entrance. You may feel like one after the uphill hike!<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"920\" height=\"920\" src=\"https:\/\/www.salkantaytrekking.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/choclo-queso-street-food-corn-cheese-1.jpg\" alt=\"Choclo con Queso, corn and cheese, cusco\" class=\"wp-image-3062\" style=\"width:920px;height:920px\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Photo by: @papeaperu<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-anticuchos\"><strong>Anticuchos<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>I would say this is my favorite and most delicious street food of them all in Cusco. They only come out early evening and at night, unless there\u2019s a special event on. In the evening you\u2019ll find them around a lot of central locations and should definitely give them a try if you see them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>They are skewers that consist of different meats grilled in a delicious marinade with a potato on the end. A couple is enough for dinner, or one is good enough if you just want to give them a try. But it\u2019ll be hard not to order more. You can choose from beef, chicken, and even beef hearts, which are my personal favorite.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"920\" height=\"613\" src=\"https:\/\/www.salkantaytrekking.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/anticucho-street-food-cusco.jpg\" alt=\"Anticuchos, street food\" class=\"wp-image-3063\" style=\"width:920px;height:613px\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Photo by: @luisadorr<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-papa-con-huevo\"><strong>Papa con Huevo<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>This translates to potato and egg, which may seem an odd street food. Generally, you\u2019ll find them in the mornings as it\u2019s more of breakfast food. Both are boiled and it\u2019s a simple as that. But what makes it special and really tasty is the chili sauce the sellers make and squirt all over it. It\u2019s very cheap and keeps you full all morning.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"920\" height=\"920\" src=\"https:\/\/www.salkantaytrekking.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/papa-huevo-street-food-cusco-egg-potatoe.jpg\" alt=\"Papa con huevo, potato and egg\" class=\"wp-image-3064\" style=\"width:920px;height:920px\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-quinoa\"><strong>Quinoa<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Another street breakfast favorite of mine is quinoa. It\u2019s made into a drink with apple, cinnamon, and sugar. It\u2019s served warm and is absolutely delicious! There are sometimes other options including maca, kiwicha, and oats. They are all as tasty as the last. The ladies who sell these hot drinks also sell sandwiches with a selection of eggs, cheese, avocado, amongst other things. You can get a great breakfast for just a couple of soles.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"920\" height=\"920\" src=\"https:\/\/www.salkantaytrekking.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/quinoa-street-food-cusco.jpg\" alt=\"quinoa, breakfast \" class=\"wp-image-3065\" style=\"width:920px;height:920px\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Photo by: @marcodelabuenacomidacusco<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-butifarras\"><strong>Butifarras<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>These are\nbig roast pork sandwiches that also include red onion, sweet potato, chilis,\nand a selection of sauces. They can be a great breakfast, lunch, or even just a\nsnack. They taste great and are a real taste of Peru.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"920\" height=\"920\" src=\"https:\/\/www.salkantaytrekking.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/butifarra-redes-sociales-street-food.jpg\" alt=\"butifarras, redes sociales\" class=\"wp-image-3066\" style=\"width:920px;height:920px\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-san-pedro-market\"><strong>San Pedro Market<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s not\nquite street food, but it\u2019s not eating in a restaurant either. There are a lot\nof markets around and all have good food options, but San Pedro has the most\nchoice. It\u2019s also one of the most hygienic, possibly due to the fact that so many\nvisitors go there every day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You\u2019ll find a whole host of foods once inside like trout, beef with a fried egg and fried banana, ceviche, and some hearty soups. They are all amazing and it can be hard to choose which one to try.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There\u2019s\nalso a whole section of fresh juices made with a variety of fruits that you can\nopt for. And if you want something hot for breakfast you can find hot chocolate\nor coffee from the region with a nice range of sandwiches on offer. They really\nhave everything here!<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"920\" height=\"920\" src=\"https:\/\/www.salkantaytrekking.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/san-pedro-market-juice-fruit-food-street.jpg\" alt=\"San Pedro Market, Cusco\" class=\"wp-image-3067\" style=\"width:920px;height:920px\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Photo by: @zampscaptures<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-arroz-con-leche-and-mazamorra\"><strong>Arroz con Leche and Mazamorra<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>When the sun starts to set and it gets a little colder, you may want something comforting and warm to fill you a little. Another superb little snack or dessert that comes out at night is rice pudding with a purple corn thick jam-like substance. It may sound weird but the two go perfectly together.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s served piping hot and is a real treat. They come in various sizes so you can see how hungry you are and go for the right size. If you ever see \u2018Arroz Zambito\u2019 as an option I say go for it. It\u2019s a brown rice pudding and, in my opinion, is the best flavor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"920\" height=\"920\" src=\"https:\/\/www.salkantaytrekking.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/67172438_349069002684134_8118736532115962958_n.jpg\" alt=\"Arroz con Leche and Mazamorra, rice pudding with a purple corn thick jam-like substance\" class=\"wp-image-3068\" style=\"width:920px;height:920px\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-picarones\"><strong>Picarones<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>This is another mouth-wateringly tasty dessert. You usually get four on a plate, but sometimes it\u2019s not enough! They are little donuts made out of sweet potato and are just heavenly. You\u2019ll see them dotted about the streets away from the center, or can visit the little restaurant that sells them on Ruinas street.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"920\" height=\"613\" src=\"https:\/\/www.salkantaytrekking.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/picarones-cusco-street-food.jpg\" alt=\"Picarones, little donuts made out of sweet potato\" class=\"wp-image-3069\" style=\"width:920px;height:613px\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Photo by: Ismail Agarmis<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-how-to-stay-safe-when-eating-on-the-streets\"><strong>How to Stay Safe When Eating on the Streets<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>You really need to try as many of these foods as possible when here, but you need to take a few safety measures. Eating street food anywhere in the world always poses some risks and can occasionally cause stomach bugs. To make sure you encounter as few problems as possible take note of the following; <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Always take note of the hygiene methods put in place by the vendor and if they themselves are well presented and clean.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Never eat homemade mayonnaise. It\u2019s good but can cause a bad case of salmonella.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Check if other people are eating there or not. If you see the place has a queue of people then you\u2019ll know it has to be a good one. A vendor with no one buying is not a good sign.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Be careful with cutlery. Sometimes they may not have been washed well and the water may have been used a number of times. The best way to stay safe is to take some plastic cutlery in your backpack wherever you go. You could even take a plastic plate and cup if you want to be extra cautious.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-go-out-and-enjoy-the-taste-of-the-calle\"><strong>Go Out and Enjoy the Taste of the Calle<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>You need to make the most of visiting a different country and city and try as much of the local cuisine as possible. You\u2019re going to experience some new tastes, but I\u2019m fairly certain you\u2019ll like them all. I certainly do and often prefer eating outside to inside! So, go on. Go out and enjoy Peruvian street food. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Written by:\nLiv Palmer<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Featured\nphoto: @luisadorr<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list lang\">\n<li class=\"es\">ES<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"pt\">PT<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I have been in Cusco a while now, and have got to taste a lot of the culinary delights.
