My first time at Jarana was fantastic. Diverse food options from ceviche to empanadas, steak chicken and seafood dishes. Easily shareable. Great drink options too, including several pisco drinks, Peruvian beers, full bar. The decor is vibrant. The staff is knowledgeable and really want you to have a great experience with great recommendations. It's also relatively easy to find for my first time at the mall. Park in lot 1A, then just head to the 3rd floor where some of the other restaurants are.
