Have been planning a trip to Peru for the spring. Decided to try some local Peruvian food to see what I was in store. Quite the pleseant surprise.
Started off with deep fried mash potatoes stuffed with ground beed and raisins. Not a texture that I am used to, but really good. Would definitely eat them again. Dinner was seared beef strips with rice and fried yucca. I can't remember the exact name of the dish, but included the word "saltado". The sauce has soy sauce in it. Really unique flavor. Again, I would definitely eat this dish again.
All in all, I would highly recommend. Not crowded, reasonably priced, and really good food.
Side note - The night I was there they were all out of roasted chicken. Kind of a disappointment because it was pretty cheap. $12 for a whole chicken plus fries.
Enjoy!
