Join us for another Peruvian fast food review as we eat the best Peruvian Sandwiches in Lima, Peru at La Lucha Sanguchería Criolla.

1) Lucuma cremosa (Lucuma milkshake like drink)
2) Chicha de la Lucha (Chicha Morada purple corn drink)
3) Pan con Chicharrón (Peruvian pork roll sandwich with sweet potato and red onions)
4) Pollo a la leña (Chicken and onion sandwich with a special sauce)

Peruvian Fast Food Review – The Best Peruvian Sandwiches at La lucha Sanguchería Criolla in Lima, Peru Video Transcript:
it is lunchtime here in Lima. Yep. And today we are going to take you to La Lucha Sanguchería Criolla. We’ve been here before. We have but different location. We’ve been noticing there is more branches around Lima. And so we’re going to be visiting a location we’ve never been to before. Ordering a whole bunch of sandwiches and maybe some fries and good drinks.
Sam and I have gotten three different sandwiches, two drinks and some special fries so it is quite a bit of food. We’ve just placed the order. They gave us a number. They are going to call us up.
Drinks have arrived. I ended up getting uh Lucuma cremosa. Yes. Which is basically a bit like a lucuma milkshake.
This is my drink right here. I got La Lucha Chicha de la Lucha. And apparently this is a special recipe. It is the restaurant’s own creation. Oh wow. So it has a few secret ingredients obviously not listed on the menu but let’s try it. I know the main ingredient is purple corn like in Chicha Morada.
We’re going to start with the classic. The chicharron. I’m just going to grab my half. Oh look at that. I like that they’ve cut them in half for us. So this is perfect for chaving. Beautiful! For sharing!
For sharing. They must have known we like to share. So chicharron this is the crispy pork. This is really good. And it comes with camote which is sweet potatoes and you also have your red onions. That is right. We’ll see if there is anything else in there. Oh and maybe cilantro.
Time for the second sandwich. Yeah, it sure is. This one is pollo a la leña. It is basically you’ve got your chicken, you’ve got your onions and you’ve got your bread. So yeah and I’m going to dip it into the aji sauce. The spicy sauce.
And a la leña it basically means that it has been cooked on a wood burning fire.
Moving on to the third and final sandwich. The third sandwich. Let me read this one off of the menu. This one is lomo fino.With eram edam cheese and caramelized onions. So what is that basically in English?
Oh my gosh edam cheese. I don’t know. But check that out. That is super cheesy. Lomo is beef.
Aside from sandwiches let’s not forget we ordered fries. Alright so I’m going to dig into the fries. I’m going to try two. Different sauces. One in ketchup one dunked in aji.
They are Papas Fritas Huayro Las Mejores de Peru. Apparently these are the best potatoes. Wow. In Peru.
Anyways in terms of price point that came to 73 Soles which was $22 US dollars. That was total so basically $11 US dollars per person.

Audrey was right first. It is pronounced EEdam, not Ehdam. As
oneroarmouse also said. It is a Cheese from the Netherlands, and very tasty.
i recommend CARNIVORO https://www.facebook.com/CarnivoroLaHamburgueseria/
im extremly hungry now ,wow
Yeah! food looks good!
Who needs sleep ?! when you can watch your bomb videos
Whats the pink stuff that the server is putting in your hand @1:18 Audrey?
Samuel and Audrey have to visit the gastronomic carnival Mistura in Lima on September. Mistura is the main gastronomic carnival in Latin America. Greetings
Your videos make me feel very proud to be peruvian 🙂
Ah Audrey, I had my four wisdom teeth pulled some 13 yrs ago, the whole experience was really something……..I hope your experience will be better 🙂 as for the video, another excellent clip, and those sandwiches look amazing
Those sandwiches look heavenly delicious! Oh wow yum
As for starchy-ness of potatoes in Peru, what do you expect, correct me if I wrong, potatoes come from North/South America so they have the right to be a little bit starchier than elsewhere 🙂
Was the bread crusty? I thought I heard a crunch when you bit into it. BTW, I’m assuming it’s cheaper to pull wisdom teeth in Peru instead of Canada if Audrey is doing it there?
You should to change auto-focus mode at your camera.
I LOVE PERUVIAN FOOD SO GOOD !!!!!!!!!
looks like i am into peruvian food cause of you. need to visit peru.
Hola! Cuando vengan a Buenos Aires deben ir a Sipan restaurante a cargo del chef peruano Adán Reymundo calle Uriarte 1648, Palermo y hacer un video con su experiencia allí. Saludos!
