| - An unpretentious little restaurant on the West side. This was my first sampling of Peruvian cuisine and I was uncharacteristically conservative in my meal choice. I got the house specialty "Pollo Inka", which is basically a rotisserie chicken, but a well done one. The whole chicken is reasonably priced at $9 (other dinner entrees were in the $10-15 range), with a nice blend of 15 spices. Nothing too exotic, but juicy, tender and tasty...very tasty.
For the side, I got some tostones, or fried green plantains. Nicely breaded, served with a yogurt like sauce for dipping (or so I assumed - I'll dip fried stuff in just about anything).
Decor is fairly non-descript and the kitchen is divided from the dining room by a dessert counter. The service was quick, friendly, and cheerful. I like a place where the staff genuinely seems to want you to come back.
I'm looking forward to some return visits. I only gave it 4 stars, but if some of the other menu items taste as good as they sound, I expect to change it to 5.
