| - I can't even describe how wonderful their food is. Everything is fresh, made to order, and bursting with flavor. I have tried three dishes here, and they all have been spectacular.
1. Tallarines Verdes- Breaded steak and pesto spaghetti sprinkled with parmesan cheese. I am not sure this is considered Peruvian, since my Italian grandparents used to make this dish. However, the pasta is cooked perfectly and the meat is seasoned to perfection. No salt needed!
2. Loma Saltado- Tender beef strips sautéed with tomatoes, onions, and French fries -served over steamed rice. Oh man, this dish is so tasty. The meat is not fatty, tender, and melts in your mouth. The sauce this dish comes with complements each flavor and soaks in to the delicious pile of rice. This dish is a must try!
3. Seco de carne- Beef stewed in cilantro and Peruvian spices, rice, potatoes, peas, and carrots. If I could have one meal for the rest of my life -this would be it. The beef is slow cooked and falls apart with your fork. I almost passed out when I tried this dish. Food can't possibly this good- can it? Yes!
What I like most about his restaurant, is that it doesn't know how good it is. In other words, they are continually trying to improve on perfection with their meals. They are not cutting corners! The qualities of meat they use are top notch, and the portions are substantial. Prices are moderate, as you can expect to pay 15-20 per entrée. The place also does well as a takeout option. Last time I got food to go, it was still piping hot when I got home (15 minutes later).
I love it here, and wish everyone in Las Vegas would give this place a try. If you have never had Peruvian food--this is the place to go.
