Hi Emily,
When it comes to trying local dishes, here are a few tips:

• Always opt for places that look busy; this usually means the food is fresh and popular.
• Don’t hesitate to ask locals for their favorite spots; they often know the hidden gems.
• Try street food but ensure it’s from a vendor with a good reputation for hygiene.

Make sure to try dishes like ceviche, olla de carne, and empanadas. Enjoy your culinary adventure!
