I had never had Peruvian food before, but my friend's insistence led us there earlier this week. It's in a run down strip mall, and the bright fluorescent lights were not very inviting.
The lady that greeted us was very sweet. We tried to order that purple corn drink, but they were all out. We ended up ordering another sweet drink that reminded my of Tang.
We started with a the Papa a la Huancaina appetizer of potatoes covered with a spicy cheese sauce. Nothing special.
I ordered lomo Saltado Mixto (ombination of beef, chicken and shrimp sauted with onions, tomatoes, cilantro, home fries and spices. served with whhite rice). It was good, though it wasn't a very good cut of meat.
My friend ordered Lomo Saltado and wasn't very impressed, but he has something to compare it to.
Still, we were both stuffed by the end of the meal. I wish we had tried the flan!
It was surprisingly more expensive than I expected... but the service was great.
