| - I had originally planned to have dinner elsewhere, but when my beau saw that Tiradito was open he nearly pulled me over. We were quite hungry so I'm sure they thought we've never eaten before....I think we ended up ordering 7 different items. I started with a smokey mezcal cocktail called Ninmei en Peru...nicely strong, it nearly blew my sandals off! If you have a look at the photos it outlines our meal from start to finish....starting with the scallops and ending with the duck bun The scallop dish was basically a ceviche, and then our second dish was a fish ceviche, but it had a leche de tigre type sauce so it was different enough from the first. Both were light, slightly acidic and made us want more. Then we had the fried calamari "nuggets" and the blood sausage empanadas. The empanadas were the favorite dish of the night for my guy, he ordered another round for himself later. They were, as he put it, "What empanadas should be!" The calamari was good, not oily and crispy. We then had an octopus dish with an olive sauce, which is totally different from anything I've ever had and my favorite item of the night. We then had a round of steamed dumplings in a sweet and sour sauce, and a duck bao bun - which is an interesting choice for a Peruvian restaurant but they were really succulent and juicy. They seem to be working hard to make delicious food and drinks, go give them a visit.
