Coco Torete - Trujillo

Peruvian restaurants are known for having good chicken, however this one has no idea how to cook it. They are known for their beef so I won't fault them for it, but literally I can good better chicken at home on stove top. The wait...staff was attentive, considering how attentive waiters are in the area in general and very considerate. They try to market as an upscale restaurant, however the interior is looking slightly run down, but not deplorable. There is a new restaurant on Av. Larco, but I will not be attending based on my experience here. I've found much nicer restaurants in the area. As, I can't speak for the beef, I'd say check it out as they are known for having good steaks.

We came here 3 or 4 times within 2 weeks time because the food was that great. Each time I ate the baby beaf steak (400g) which comes with the best fries out there and a little salad beforehand. Definitely try the green aji sauce...out, pretty spicy but amazing! Great restaurant with good service. A must go if you're in Trujillo!

This is a fairly new restaurant. It is spacious and popular. This is a barbeque restaurant and the menu reflects this, there are hardly any alternatives offered. The service is business like and some what cold. The portions are enormous and one can easily feed...2 people. They freely make left overs into doggie bags.

Coco Torete offers an excellent selection of grilled meats that our table enjoyed. The portions were huge especially the ribs. They were very specific as to how the beef would be done. The sides of roasted vegetables that included peppers and potatoes were tasty. Unfortunately,...they used canned mushrooms for the barbecued and ceviche mushrooms and resulted in a poor selection. The service was friendly and efficient.

We shared a steak and bottle of wine here. The menu, even the English menu, isn't easy to navigate given the sheer number of choices here. We settled on a filet mignon, thanks to suggestions from Joel, who was a fantastic waiter. He deserves a...pay rise he is a credit to this restaurant!
