El Saltado Peruvian - Alexandria

I?ve eaten here a bunch of times. I really love their wide variety of soltados and their ceviches are very good as well. I?m not the biggest fan of their chicken but they have really tasty chicha. Good spot.

I ordered food yesterday for the first time at this restaurant. I travel often to Peru so I know pretty well what the food should be like. I ate la papa a la huancaina there at the restaurant.

Reallllly wanted to like this, but alas, I did not. Ordered my usual favorites at other places (a 1/4 dark meat chicken and arroz con mariscos).

The flavors are good so I?ll be throwing this bad boy in the oven to try and salavge it and avoid getting sick ????
