PARILLADAS EL ZORRITO $
(Fanning 355; mains S5-10) Food is cooked outside on a grill at this ambient, immensely pop-
ular local joint. Juanes and river fish are the things to go for here. Portions are huge.
There is great live music at weekends.

BELÉN MERCADO $
(cnr Prospero & Jirón 9 de Diciembre) There are great eats at Iquitos' markets, particularly the
Belén mercado where a menú (set meal), including jugo especial (fresh juice), is less than
S5. Look out for specialties such as meaty Amazon worms, ishpa (simmered sabalo fish
intestines and fat) and sikisapa (fried leafcutter ants; abdomens are supposedly tastiest).
Watch your valuables.
