Pueblo Viejo

One of the more animated spots on restaurant row (right at the beginning, off the plaza), Pueblo Viejo is fairly large but simple and cozy, with live Andean music and a roaring fire. It specializes in parrilladas, or grilled lamb, pork and alpaca, and grilled trout, and it draws plenty of backpackers and families for the low-priced fixed menús: Choose from vegetarian, menú de la casa, and menú turístico versions. You can also get good pizza.
