| - Peruvian food taste amazing! This location is somewhat hidden in the Piazza Napoli Center. It's in the area near the Cuba Café Tapas & Bar. When you enter the restaurant, there are at least 4 to 5 seating tables. Majority of the orders are for take-out. Fortunately it wasn't busy when I arrived. I was immediately seated by a nice lady and she was able to put in a special request for my order.
I chose the Tacu Tacu con Pollo ($10.95) which is served as Peruvian Refried Beans and Rice with Rotisserie Chicken Breast, and it comes with a slice of tomato and lemon pickled red onions. If you enjoy rotisserie chicken, this place hits the spot. The chicken is well-seasoned and you can tell it's freshly cooked when the meat taste soft and tender. Chicken paired with the savory flavor of refried beans and rice makes this dish so tasty and delicious.
For dessert, I had Platano Frito ($2.00) which are Fried Plantains. I grew up eating fried bananas so it's not anything new to me. I just like bananas, particularly plantains. I know it taste good and it is sweet when they are fried. Also I tried the Picarones ($5.50) which are Pumpkin and Sweet Potato Doughnuts served with Honey Fruit. The doughnut is light, crunchy and soft, and I really like the sweet syrup that came with it.
As for the atmosphere, I like how they set the channel to MTV Tr3s. You have no idea how much I love Latin music! The song playing was "Nuestra Cancion Pt. 2" and it definitely set a fun and upbeat vibe. Good music, friendly and speedy service, and authentic flavor, this place is already on my top go-to for Best Peruvian Food. Also if you like taking home snacks and sweet treats, they do have wafer, cookie bars, and Panettone on the front counter.
