Waka

It sits at Av. Brígida Silva de Ochoa 226 in San Miguel and has a rooftop terrace that keeps coming up in reviews. The house defines itself by combining Andean cooking with American-style meats; its menu includes platters such as the Wakamania or the family grill, and diners on Google highlight the ribs and the lomo saltado, with generous portions. Our take: it is a neighbourhood grill with ambitions of being a meeting spot, built more for sharing in a group than for a chef-driven cut. It offers dine-in and delivery, takes reservations, and parking is on the street only. Curator's note: the website lists noon to 10 p.m. for San Miguel, which is what we loaded; Google shows an 11 p.m. close Monday to Saturday.
