If you can cook it on a grill or in a wood oven, El Horno can make it sing. The different varieties of meat skewers and pizzas are the best picks here. The place often fills up with trekking groups, so arrive early or make a reservation.

Café Tortuga
A Swiss-run riverfront spot where tourists plan their next move. Start the day with pancakes and fruit, crepes or espresso. Post–river trip, try a house specialty: beer floated with vanilla ice cream and fresh pineapple.

Chow down to international rhythms and casual surf decor. Pizza is the staple, but the salads, spruced up with olives and cheese, make a nice change from the norm, as do the homey grilled cheese sandwiches.

From the same family that owns the more famous La Olla, this smaller and cheaper (and some say better) seafood spot in the Mercado Municipal does wonderful things with crab sauce. It’s rich, but excellent.

El Bandido
A strange sight in Peru, this cowboy-themed bar seems to fit perfectly with Moquegua’s rough-and-tumble frontier attitude. Wood-fired pizzas are made to order, and the beer just keeps flowing.
