| - I really don't know where to start.
I went to La Feria for lunch today, my companion and I did not utter one word while there was food on the table.
We both started with "Inca Cola", a Peruvian "Cream Soda". I'm not usually a soda drinker, but I felt like I should try something new. It was unique, but a bit too sweet for my palate which isn't accustomed to drinking soda anymore.
We also split a sampler of their empanadas, which were amazing. Perfect ratio of pastry to filling. Perfectly seasoned fillings, perfectly cooked exterior that undercooked nor burnt.
For entrees, we both decided to get the "pollo borracho", BREAST OF CHICKEN BAKED WITH FRESH TOMATOES, OLIVES, CAPERS, AND WHITE WINE (from their website). It came with a side of salad, rice, and french bread. My companion paused after his first mouthful to say "oh my god. this chicken is amazing." We didn't speak again until both our plates were completely empty. The salad, rice, and french bread were what were expected, but the chicken. Wow. I don't know how exactly they bake it, but the chicken breast was even more tender and moist than most of the chicken thighs i've eaten. Not dry, not stringy by any means. Completely exceeded my expectations.
Prices were definitely reasonable, w/ the daily entrees topping out the menu at $10.50.
I also like the homey feeling I get while in there. There were around five other parties, which I think is pretty good since it was before noon on a Saturday and Pamela's is right next door.
Highly highly recommended, I'll most definitely be back. For sure.
