I wanted to try out a Peruvian restaurant with my family while I was in town and we wanted it to be close to the airport since my sister was getting in around dinner time and this was one of the two options we looked at. We decided on this option compared to the one down the street because this looked a lot more spacious. I noticed this place was brand new (it had only been open for a few weeks when we went) so I expected them to still be getting into the swing of things (and they were).
We were seated at a table that was clearly too small for the size of our party, as there was no way it could fit all of our food at once. We were eventually moved to a bigger table. It was pretty slow the night we went so there wasn't really any reason to have seated us as such, but I'm assuming it was a lack of experience is all.
For appetizers, we ordered Papa a la Huancaina, Causa de Pollo, and Salchipapas for appetizers. I was against ordering the Salchipapas (hot dogs and fries), but my dad insisted. The Huancaina sauce was great and the Causa was good too.
We ordered a few pitchers of chicha morada (purple corn drink) because you have to be drinking this if you're eating peruvian food. It just seems natural. The drink was tasty, but it hadn't been chilled and we weren't given ice with it. Back in Peru I was used to not having chilled drinks all the time, but it's a different story when I'm back in 'Murica.
For entrees we collectively ordered Lomo Saltado x3, Aji de Gallina x2, and Carapulcra x1. Most of my family had tried lomo before so I think the big hit this time was the Aji de Gallina because the creamy sauce was just delicious. The other dishes were also very good. When I asked for some aji to go with my rice I was pleasantly surprised when they brought out quite the large dipping dish of it. So good!
I give this restaurant a 4/5 because I know a new restaurant will have to work out the kinks and it wasn't much of a hassle for those things that were "wrong" anyway. The food was great!
