| - My wife is Peruvian, so we were both very excited to try a new South American restaurant. The place is very small, with just about six tables, but they are also short-handed on staff--be prepared for slow service and excellent food.
The menu is primarily Ecuadorian, Peruvian, and Colombian, but is peppered with dishes from other nearby countries such as Argentina. We tried several traditional dishes, including churrasco (steak w/ eggs, fries, plantains, and rice), ceviche de pescado, empanada de pollo (chicken pastry), sango de camarones (shrimp in a peanut soup), and chicha morada (refreshing Peruvian purple corn drink). Everything was expertly prepared and came out piping hot from the kitchen. It felt like a home-cooked meal.
There aren't many non-Brazilian South American restaurants around, which makes Mi Comida that much more valuable. It's on par with Contigo Peru in Mesa, which is another one I'd highly recommend. Mi Comida has character, serving up authentic traditional dishes the way they're done back home in a cozy atmosphere. It is not to be missed.
Call ahead to ensure they're open--they have odd business hours that tend to change.
