It´s located on Mercaderes, a street closed to traffic that ends at the Plaza de Armas. This street has a starbucks, burger king, kfc, and pizza hut! I was so surprised to see it! We went to Ekeko just for the public bathroom, which was always hard to find in Peru.

I have eaten here 2 or 3 times, and the second time got REALLY sick. It was either the mayonnaise or unwashed spinach, so be careful what you order. Although it's good, it's way over priced. It makes Capprichios look cheap and that used to be one of the most expensive places in town to eat!

the Patio del Ekeko on Mercaderes (close to Plaza de Armas) is good and the food, while not remarkable, is predicable and good. The restaurant of the same name in Real Plaza Mall is terrible.

Food here was good. The ambience leaves a little to be desired (it's in a shopping-style complex), but the service was good and the prices reasonable.

Had a decent restaurant, but the remainder of the place was nothing too special. I could take it or leave it
