Chicha Peruvian kitchen

The Best Restaurants in Sacramento, Roseville, and Elk Grove | Eater SF

"Consider the culinary sister city potential between Lima, Peru, and Sacramento: both capital cities of the Americas that blend and champion the many cultural communities that have flocked to their borders, making them greater than the sum of their parts. How fitting that “chicha” refers to the migration of Peruvians from outside Lima into the city; it is precisely the ambitions of these newcomers “bringing their dreams, food, customs, and folklore, that a new culture emerges around Lima’s surroundings.” That appreciation brims from Chicha Peruvian Kitchen, which recently opened a second Midtown location to accompany its original Roseville spot. A trip would be incomplete without a survey of ceviches, which all feature white fish, and the chauya taypa, which honors Peru’s Chinese influence in a surf and turf stir fry." - Tamerra Griffin
