"Centering the rich flavors of her Afro-Latina heritage, chef Belen Bailey’s shop is a must-stop for Afro-Latine diners in the area. Though it does have some comfy seating, it’s more of a place to order ahead and pick up. Belen offers delectable Peruvian treats, including her signature alfajores — sandwich cookies filled with creamy dulce de leche and dusted with powdered sugar. And if you’re looking for savory options, Belen’s Peruvian empanadas are the perfect light bite." - Camilo Hannibal Smith
