| - Recommended by a Peruvian lady we met while shopping, we decided to try this restaurant for dinner .
The 1st thing I noticed when I entered the restaurant was that it had a nice bright atmosphere of red and black decor.
We were greeted by a very friendly waiter who explained the food on the menu and suggested some dishes for us to try since we told him we were new here .
Fried corn kernels were brought to our table as an appetizer .
My dining mate ordered the papa rellena- mashed potato puffs filled with ground beef, egg and olives and served with salsa criolla, a red onion , lime and cilantro combo. This was delicious.
I ordered the 1/2 rotisserie chicken with 2 sides.
The chicken was marinated and smoked. It was tender and delicious. My sides were a salad and sweet potato fries.
My dining mate ordered Aji De Gallina, or shredded chicken with a yellow bell pepper sauce with sliced boiled potatoes and rice.
The flavor was mellow and pleasing.
The food came out hot, nicely plated, good portions and everything tasty.
A bit pricey for some dishes.
Menu features a variety of Peruvian, fish, beef, chicken and specialties such as Ceviches, rice and pasta dishes, soups , appetizers as well as desserts.
The variety of sides:, fried plantains, yucca, beans and rice, salads, sweet potato fries, eggs served any way plus other sides.
There is something for everybody here.
We will certainly return.
