Finally had the chance to try this Peruvian restaurant near my workplace, After shift my friend and I wanted to get breakfast and we wanted to try something new and good thing Cocina Peruvia is open 24/7. Whenever I would pass by this place the warm and savory scent of meats and spices would welcome me. I don't know much about Peruvian cuisine but the smell was enough invitation for us to try this place out. The prices of the items were above average but the servings were good for sharing. The place was was cozy and the music was all in tune to the theme of the restaurant. The servers were friendly and engaging to boot!
I know very little of Peruvian cuisine but they have Adobo and Escabeche in the menu, its quite intriguing and I would surely like to try them on my next visit. Peruvian cuisine is often made spicy with ají pepper. Peruvian chili peppers are not spicy but are used to for taste and color. Rice often accompanies dishes in Peruvian cuisine, and the regional sources of foods and traditions give rise to countless varieties of preparation and dishes.
The spread below doesn't look like breakfast more of a brunch ^_^ But heck since we work in the night shift this is more of dinner for us. You wont go wrong getting the Brochetas de Lomo, 2 skewers of Beef Brochetas that goes perfectly with Chimichurri, my favorite sauce from all three sauces that comes with the order. Arroz con Mariscos is also a fave, its fragrant medley of rice aji amarillo, shrimp, mussels and squid.

To end the meal we got The Alfajores, the dessert I would not consider good for sharing.

Now only if I could get more of that dulce de leche! Yum! ^_^ I'm excited to go back here and try their other dishes.
