Had an awesome dinner at this Peruvian restaurant recently.
The decor and the ambiance are perfect for a relaxing or romantic dinner.
Mochica has a nice selection of cocktails and non alcoholic beverages.
Started off with a mixed appetizer plate for 2, piqueo crillo. All 4 entrees varied from good to excellent. My favourite being the tamalito verde. A parcel of mashed corn with cilantro steamed in a banana leaf stuffed with chicken, egg and Alphonso olives.
This large appetizer plate was followed by the Lomo saltado which are tender beef morsels with red and green onions, tomatoes, in a tangy and very tasty sauce. It was accompanied by garlic rice, cassava fries and rocoto mayonnaise that were spectacular.
My partner had a sea bass dish with a seafood sauce that was excellent. Portion for this dish was exceptionally large.
Presentations were beautiful for all dishes and the service excellent and friendly.
Oh yes, one should not miss a trip to the rest rooms (both men an women). The resident tenant may fire up your imagination as to how to finish your evening or, at the very least, make you smile.
Overall this was an excellent dinner experience and I recommend this place highly.
