One of the greatest Peruvian comfort foods is the creamy potato-based causa, and now, there is an entire restaurant devoted to it. Mi Causa (La Mar 814, tel. 01/222-6258, www.micausaperu.com, noon–5:30 p.m. daily, US$10–12) has the classic tuna and avocado offerings, but why not try a lomo saltado or cauchi de camarones (crayfish stew) causa?
Budget eaters flock to Rincón Chami (Esperanza 154, tel. 01/444-4511, 9 a.m.–9 p.m. Mon.–Sat., 9 a.m.–5 p.m. Sun., US$7) for ceviche, tamales, brochetas, and lomo saltados, dished up in a dinerlike atmosphere. Each day there is a different special of the house (Sunday, for instance, it’s chupe de camarones, a cream-based soup with sea shrimp).
