This type of restaurant is called a "picanteria" which means a typical dining place in Arequipa where they serve the best local food. La Nueva Palomino has a lot of story behind it because it's been around for almost 100 years! It has changed its menu very slightly so it's still quite authentic. Once inside, you will feel the history of Arequipa through its decoration and cuisine. Most of the food is cooked in clay pots. I recommend trying the famous "ocopa de camarones". #localfood #arequipa #peru
