"Inside the small-but-amply-stocked El Campesino grocery lies the unassuming Salt & Pepper, unaffiliated with the popular Southeast Belmont cart of the same name. A short flight of stairs leads up to a sparse dining area, where the Peruvian and Mexican food — each in their own menus rather than Mexican-Peruvian fusion — is the focus. Citrus-drenched ceviche is simply but tastefully presented alongside hearty sides of potato and corn, an entrée on its own or a shared opener to one of the richly seasoned beef dishes like seco norteño or the cau cau tripe stew." - Nathan Williams, Janey Wong
