About this spot
Villa Carbon Anticuchos delivers the authentic street-food experience right in the heart of Plaza de Armas, where skewered beef hearts are marinated in a fiery blend of ají panca and garlic. The grilled anticuchos arrive sizzling with char marks that cut through the rich fat, served alongside crispy yucca fries and fresh lime wedges to brighten the deep red sauce.
💡 Tips before you go
- Order extra chimichurri if you want to balance the smoky meat with a sharp, herbaceous kick.
- Bring cash only, as this popular spot in the main square rarely accepts credit cards.
- Share a large platter of anticuchos to try both the heart and the beef options without overspending.
