Peruvian restaurant · San Pedro Square

"If Jora (pronounced “ho-rah”) is your first venture into Peruvian cuisine, you’ll want to order the country’s national dish: ceviche. You know it’s a big deal because the nation dedicated an entire holiday to it. To bring this classic recipe to life, Jora accompanies fresh fish with tiger’s milk (a spicy citrus marinade), yam, and several kinds of Peruvian corn (canchita, chulpi, and choclo). For your main, go for the lomo saltado—sautéed strips of beef tenderloin stir-fried alongside fresh tomato, red onion, aji amarillo (yellow chili pepper), and fries. You’ll taste the care behind the meal because Arturo and Juan, the Peruvian partners behind Jora, operate under the motto, “we cook as if we’re cooking for family.”" - Johanna Harlow
