El Monasterio Review

Occupying a corner of the Centro Cultural courtyard, with outdoor tables, this restaurant is essentially a pollería -- a simple restaurant serving roasted chicken -- in a slightly upscale location. There are other things on the menu, but I never once saw anyone order anything but the chicken. And with good reason: It's flavorful and plentiful, and it's a steal. For just a couple of bucks, you can get a quarter of a roasted chicken, french fries, and salad. The other items on the menu are mainly the usual Andean suspects, such as lomo saltado (strips of beef with fried potatoes, onions, and tomatoes over rice).

Note: This information was accurate when it was published, but can change without notice. Please be sure to confirm all rates and details directly with the companies in question before planning your trip.

About Our System

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.

Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.

The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
