best food of our entire northern journey was this one.  a housewife was cooking with a propane burner on a streetcorner (avenue and residential street) a block from where we were surprised by a closed restaurant we’d found online.  andrew said he knew he could trust the place, despite the limited menu, because the chicken looked well-fried (caramel brown, not sleazy gold).  and damned if she didn’t make a great stewed duck typical of the north!  we ordered three plates and two desserts (perfect rice pudding, while we’re singing her praises), the grand total of which came to US$3.  anyone passing thru trujillo should totally go to manco capac and av las americas in las quintanas and find her, she’s a national treasure.
