| - We came at the restaurant on a Tuesday nite , manager was talking to a friend so we have to wait waitress to sit us. We order pisco sour , served ina small glass of 4 oz , it was very citric we don"t feel the pisco, and served with cinnamon instead of bitter , cinnamon hides the taste of pisco (16$ each.)
As starters we ordered ,chicken tamalito verde(10$) and conchas parmesana(12$) , the paste of tamalito was tastefull but not made with fresh hominy corn but commercialized corn flour.No chicken inside and the sarza , red salad onion was so spicy that hides all other flavors. The concas , second starter , ONE scallops U10 with melted cheese was ok.
We asked wine pairing ,and waitress suggested a pinot noir ,as sommelier , I told her that it is not a good match with lamb , she answeded "" You asked for a suggestion , I gave you one!
As main , we orderd Seco de cordero (34$) and arroz chauffa de pato (32$) ,Lamb was generous but not braised as it should be but confited and fat , and not flavors that reminds me my trips to Peru, white rice was cooked with only water ,no salt and garlic as as all south American country does.Duck and rice was ok, but the duck was overcooked, the ricetaste only soysauce , no ginger or tiny sliced green onions as it should be.Also the dish was topped with an omelette with a tauil-on shrimp that a have to remouve the tail from my mouth in public!The bottle of winre was good but pricy(90$).Dessert choclate mousse and tiramisu were fine.Pisco shot digestives as we request because waitress tought service is finished after desserts was rought , pisco PORTON taste only alcool and doesn't have the subtility of other brands.(20$).
If you visit Kay Pacha prepare to open your wallet , 316$ for 2 , 373$ with tips, overpriced for a medium satisfying experience.
