We had looked over the menu beforehand because it seemed overwhelming. We've had Cuban, South American cuisine, but had asked our waiter to recommend some true Peruvian dishes. Completely different from what we thought we would order! We started with the Beef Wontons vs. Empanadas. These were very good and it came with Tamarind sauce. They had ceviches prepared several ways, but we opted for the 3 Ajis, 3 different peppers. Not terribly spicy hot, but deliciously prepared and not overwhelming. Our favorite was a Wok dish, which were strips of sirloin and vegetables with a fried rice topped with egg. That was incredible! With wine and beer, our bill was still quite reasonable. The best part of this evening was the live music with Nelson & Paola. The mood and atmosphere made for a romantic evening!

Starting with the usual corn chips and salsa. Mild and just right hot. Followed queso with chorizo. I had fajitas (beef, shrimp, chicken) my coworker had enchiladas. Both were exceptional. Good thing the hotel was close and down hill. Will go here again on my next visit.

3. Colombian's Taste
Reviewed By Malamya
We tried this retaurant on a Saturday late lunch. We expected cafeteria style service so we didn't get shocked when we got there. The place is small, with a few tables and chairs but it's clean. They had pictures of food so it wasn't difficult to choose what to eat. This is our 1st time trying Colombian food but the owner, Margarita was a gracious host and took time to explain the menu. We had Colombian coffee and our kids had the native hot chocolate. These did not disappoint. My son had Tamal Tolimense which was as big as the plate. I admit, this was better than the Mexican and Peruvian tamales. My daughter had Arepa con carne. I had Sancocho de Gallina. It came with a large soup, rice and salad. My husband had Bandeja Colombian's Taste. It's got steak, pork rinds, sausage and corn cake. Our favorite was Pan de Bono. It has the texture of the Brazilian pan du queso but 4x it's size. We took home a dozen of uncooked dough and baked it the following day. So yummy! This is our new Latino restaurant favorite. The owners, although they do not have any background on owning a restaurant, showed their love of food thru their cooking. We will surely return for more.
