| - We wanted to try something new one Monday evening, or OK truth be known I didn't feel like cooking, so we stopped into Inti. Inti, if you didn't know, is named after the Incan Sun God. Lucky for us they just so happen to be serving up a buffet.
Excitedly we armed ourselves with a plate and marched to the buffet like good little soldiers preparing for battle. As we ogled all the items, the lovely Consuela, who was refilling the food stations, took the time to explain all the food choices to us. She even brought out some non spicy chicken wings just for the kids. We filled our plates, and rushed back to the table to get started. The prelude to the meal was a Pisco Sour and a Piscojito which hubs and I shared. Both were tasty delights, but the winner for me was the Piscojito, a spin on a Mojito.
The food was so diverse and flavourful it's hard to pick favourites but the standouts for me were the Lomo Saltado, Papa a la Huancaina, Consomme de Pollo, Carapulcra, Yuca Frita and the Pollo a la Brasa. And the sauces, heaven help me. I tried and loved every sauce/dip they had with the exception of ranch and the extra extra hot sauce (didn't try those two).
Executive Chef and owner Hans Puccinelli developed the recipes in the restaurant and was currently working the front of the house when we arrived for our meal. Friendly, helpful and very interesting to talk to, we enjoyed chatting with him as much as we enjoyed eating the food.
This was a great family food experience. Our kids loved it so much they wanted to come back the next day!
