| - It started out promising when we were greeted with a knowledgable host, then waited on by someone else. The decor is simple. There is some hot hominy kernels they put on the table. Not for me. My Pisco sour was citrusy, a little sweet and sour and delicious. I ordered a Tamal and a Papa Relleno. My Papa Relleno came out piping hot and was nicely seasoned, with beef inside, filled with creamy mashed potatoes. I asked about a sauce, that I was supposed to have gotten and she brought out a tiny Salsa Criollo, definitely not the big one in the pic. Same for the tamal, which was dry and tasteless, definitely NOT GENEROUSLY filled. I ordered the pork tamal and it had 2 small, dry pieces and about 3 or 4 pieces of pork fat. Gross.
Baldie had Tacu Tacu con Lomo Saltado. Steak with fries and tomatoes and onions with some kind of fried beans. The bean thing was delicious. I don't know why they asked Frank how he liked his steak because it came out well done anyway and a little chewy. It was good, don't get me wrong, he ate the SHIT out of it, but not the best. New York on a Main Street In Port Chester, where all the Peruvian restaurants are, has the best Peruvian food. Overall, it was good. I'd go again and try something different.
