Frommer's Review
In a 17th-century casona that operated as a mint for the Spanish vice regency and later as a gambling house, El Truco combines good Peruvian cooking and platos típicos with a loud and lively peña (criollo music) show every night (8:30-10:30pm). The restaurant, virtually an institution now that it has been around for over 40 years, has an attractive colonial interior and offers a daily lunch buffet of Peruvian specialties. At night, it's a la carte only. Dishes include pork tamales, roast pork, roast lamb, and stuffed rocoto peppers. The lively music-and-dance shows, along with consistently good food, make El Truco very popular with upscale tour groups.

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.
