Frommer's Review

This cute and relaxed cafe, with just six tables, is attached to the Hostal Colonial (and shouldn't be confused with the recommended Club Colonial in Huanchaco). It has floor-to-ceiling wall murals of colonial Trujillo and Moche motifs from Las Huacas and other sites in the area. It offers simple Peruvian fare, but it's perfect for a great midday menú (just S/6 or $2/£1), which might include a soup or papa a la huancaína (boiled potato with a creamy cheese sauce) and a main course of churrasco (barbecued meats) or arroz con pollo (chicken and rice). The menu also has pork, Chinese-style fried rice, spaghetti, and omelets, as well as three breakfast options.

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.
