Ever since my favorite Peruvian restaurant started to go downhill a few years ago, there’s been a hole in my heart. But thanks to this sub I found a great recommendation. It was Avenida Peru which seems to have recently split into two restaurants, one serving more street food like pollo a la brasa and anticuchos, and the second new one called Lima Restaurant that’s about a mile down the road having a larger menu.
I ordered lomo saltado, fried plantains, and chicha and they were all incredible. They stirred in the fries which I rarely find in other restaurants but much prefer. There was also plenty of juice that there was even enough leftover after I mixed everything together instead of being overly dry like at other places. The portion was huge and I plan on having my leftovers for lunch today. It was on the pricey side of my usual budget for eating out but I’m broke so that’s not saying a lot lol. I definitely plan on going back and trying more of their menu. Still looking for a place that serves great palta rellena!
