Before 1pm, while the ceviche counters are still serving
Five minutes over the bridge from Miraflores, Surquillo's covered market is where the city's restaurants buy: stalls of lucuma, chirimoya and granadilla, sacks of ají amarillo and rocoto, a wall of potato varieties, and counters at the back serving ceviche and causa to people who have been eating there for thirty years. Cash, small notes, and go before the lunch rush ends.
Getting there from the port
