About This Spot
The moment Samuel and Audrey stepped into Mercado 28, they were swept up in a bustling mosaic of aromas and colors that instantly felt like a slice of Lima’s everyday life. The market’s open‑air stalls buzzed with chatter as vendors proudly displayed their colorful produce and ready‑to‑eat delights. As the vlogger duo meandered down Avenida Vasco Núñez de Balboa, they sampled a rainbow of causa—chicken, tuna, shrimp, and even mushroom variations—each layer creamy and fragrant, topped with vibrant garnishes that made the dish as visually stunning as it was flavorful.
What truly sets Mercado 28 apart is its playful culinary creativity paired with local comfort. A hearty beef sandwich draped in melty cheese and caramelized onions offered a satisfying crunch, while a refreshing lemongrass juice cut through the richness with citrusy zest. Sweet treats like silky manjar blanco and airy merengue soaked in port wine added a touch of indulgence that made the whole experience feel both traditional and adventurous—definitely a must‑try for any food lover.
