Lima’s Most Delicious Grill

When was the most recent time you nibbled an exquisite piece of meat? When was the last time you had a superfluous lunch and wouldn’t dine? El Hornero is an acclaimed beef restaurant at Av. Circunvalación del Golf 408, Camacho, La Molina in Lima, Peru. This luncheonette is illustrious for its terrific beef and wine, and for the unquestionably, glorious assistance. As you get out of the car, you’ll hand the car keys to the parking service guy. They will maneuver your car flawlessly and without a scratch, yet, they will take less than a minute.

As you sit on the snug chairs, the waiter will bring you some golden, French bread that look tan. As you swallow the bread, you’ll feel like a child savoring something unfamiliar, each bite was filled with a piquant flavor and it will seem as if the flavor got better and intensified with every bite. Then, as you carve a piece of tenderloin, you’ll see the crimson color of the flesh inside. When you devour it, you’ll feel softness in the meat, which makes mastication effortless, since it is Angus Pride Beef. The chicken milanese is gargantuan, but its flavor reminds you of the day you first chewed chicken, you feel nostalgic and cannot stop gobbling the flat, crispy chicken. Don’t forget about the natural, delectable fries, “They’re crunchy on the outside, but smooth in the inside”. Finally, I’d prescribe the chocolate mousse; it is going to fill your mouth with the most unreal taste of cocoa, the best in Lima. If you go to El Hornero, you’ll enjoy the terrific cuts and dishes in Lima.

As you have one of the most outstanding lunches, you’ll feel like you were served as a culinary critic. First of all, I cannot recall a single moment where a finished plate was left idling for more than thirty seconds because if it were, it’d be the apocalypse. Also, it took the chef an awfully short time to deliver the food once we had ordered. Timing means everything for them. Well, not everything, the waiter was utterly genteel and had wondrous recommendations about the food in the chophouse. When I asked where the bathroom was located, my waiter gave me clear instructions and asked if he could chaperone me. There is no better response to this question. The assistance is unambiguously brilliant. When you go to El Hornero, you receive the best service in Lima.

This is contemplated as a five star restaurant, and I strongly believe this is true too. But it is not only me and several culinary critics from Lima, but also hundreds of Trip Advisor users that find this place phenomenal. Out of the 285 reviews this eatery got, 145 said that it was superlative, which is more than half. They say that the service, quality/price and ambient are worth of four stars, and the food is worth 4.5 stars overall! Three fourths of level 6 critics, which is the highest level for Trip Advisor users, gave the luncheonette 5 stars. According to Hans L from Nairobi, Kenya, it is “The best steakhouse in Lima”. You must trust Hans and other level 6 critics, and go to the best steakhouse in Lima.

As I’ve said before, this experience was definitely positive. If you are in Lima and you’re looking for a gratifying lunch or dinner, then your quest is over. This is definitely a place that you must go to because if you don’t, then you’ll miss out one of the most amazing, unbelievable flavors in the world. Chose well, go to El Hornero.
