Morena Peruvian Kitchen

"This was by far the best food I’ve had in Peru. Hands down. I ate it as slowly as possible to enjoy every single second. Even after I was full, I kept going slowly and surely. I didn’t want to leave anything behind. I ordered the lomo saltado, which came on a bed of yellow quinoa, potatoes, tomatoes, onions, and edible flowers. Everything cooked to perfection. Just before the main course came out, they brought over a small starter of two round potatoes served with chimichurri and aji verde sauce. Along with the meal, came a dish of three sauces- a yellow garlic, more aji verde, and a spicy rocoto (red pepper). The sauces of Peru are a wonder of their own. The guys next to me ordered cocktails, and a waiter brought over a cart and created a masterpiece right at the table. Yes, this is on the more pricey side for Peru, yet a meal this good for less than $20 by US standards is an absolute must. Go ahead and treat yourself one day. Lomo Saltado dish (as described above), and water sin gas: 64 soles ($17.16 usd)."
