Restaurant Scams in Máncora

Restaurant Menu Price Swap

Some small restaurants in Máncora present a menu with certain prices but apply different — and higher — prices at billing time, claiming the menu shown was an older version. The discrepancy is typically S/10–S/30 per dish and is rarely challenged by tourists who have already eaten and are ready to leave. The tactic is more common at restaurants immediately adjacent to the beach access points where tourist turnover is high.
