A (Peruvian) friend (yes, that needed to be called out..as an testament to authenticity!) brought some goodies from here so I can only offer my take on the food.
Tamales - he brought over a selection and all were good, but the one that stood out was actually the quinoa/veggie tamale. It seemed solely made of quinoa (vs masa), and the flavour was remarkable! I couldn't put my finger on it, but it went beyond the typical cilantro flavoured tamales verdes. A definite "must-try"!
Empanadas - the fillings were tasty and flavourful, although I wish there was slightly more.
My friend said everything there was very authentic tasting - Will be definitely returning for more tamales!
