(From March 2012)
Who knew that Chinese and Japanese immigrants had such a strong impact on Peruvian cuisine? You can taste the delicious results in chef Roberto Castre’s tiny but pleasantly outfitted dining room just north of downtown. Take sashimi, for example; here, thin slices of marinated white fish are served, along with nibbles of sweet potatoes and corn, in creamy sauces based on Peruvian chiles. Or consider the arroz chaufa especial, a Peruvian fried rice dish with chicken, beef, and pork. For purer Latin bites, we love the flaky empanadas filled with beef, onions, and tomatoes. Note: Latin Bites is moving in mid-December and will reopen mid-January. BYOB.
