So yesterday I took everyone out to eat Peruvian food for their first times. I have to say I was impressed with the line up. They actually had Ocopa here, which is something I look for at all Peruvian restaurants and never find. On top of that, the food was fairly cheap for a typical Peruvian restaurant (minus the Pollo a la Braza places, but those are supposed to be fast food-ish). I ended up ordering a Papa a la Huancaina and an Ocopa for everyone, plus an Aji de Gallena for myself. One of my friends got some Yuca frita for everyone to try and a carapulcra, and everyone ordered Inca Kola, which is good stuff. One of my friends braved the Chicha Morada and merely tolerated it. That’s better than me however; I can’t drink the stuff at all.
Overall I was pleased with the place, and I’d go again if it werent all the way into Boston. I’m glad I can actually get Peruvian here however, so that’s pretty solid. I still haven’t determined if I can actually buy my own Inca Kolas around here, but I have a feeling the Super Stop n’ Shop in Boston probably carries the brand.
