It is 2 soles roundtrip to get there and back, after all. There&#8217;s a hamburger stand one block away from the Villa Rica on Av. Arenales. It actually belongs to a hamburger cafe on the same block. For 2 soles I can have a &#8220;plain&#8221; hamburger which actually is loaded with lettuce, onions, crushed potato chips (you laugh, but it&#8217;s really good!), and a bunch of sauces: ketchup, mustard, mayonnaise and local favorite <a href=\"http:\/\/www.peruvianpeppers.com\/recipes.htm\">aj\u00c3\u00ad<\/a>, or chili sauce. It also comes with a drink. Pretty good for 62\u00c2\u00a2! <\/p>\n<p>Another stand on the opposite corner sells &#8220;emoliente,&#8221; which is a warm drink mix made of different grains such as quinoa and maca. They also sell little sandwiches filled with &#8220;tortilla,&#8221; which is what they call an omlette, or camote, which is sweet potato. Each of those items is 50 centimos or 15\u00c2\u00a2.
