Quinta Eulalia
An established Quinta opened in 1941, serving guinea pig and fried pork in a courtyard; open only for lunch, popular with locals, and sells out quickly.
Located in a colonial courtyard at Calle Choquechaka 384, founded in 1941, this is one of the oldest quintas in Cusco and is mainly frequented by locals. It specializes in traditional lunches, with guinea pig, freshly fried pork (chicharrón), stuffed peppers, and fried pork chops being common dishes, all served in large portions. It is only open until 4:00 PM, and it can be fully packed by around 1:00 PM, with some dishes selling out. There is no public reservation system, so arriving when it opens is recommended. Reviews show mixed opinions on the texture of the fried pork. Current prices were not found, but diners describe it as one of the most affordable local dining options, typically costing around 4–10 USD per person. It is about a 5-minute walk from Plaza de Armas.
