"Sandwiched between two pawn shops in Van Nuys, Puro Sabor is a brightly colored restaurant that serves a particularly excellent lomo saltado, stir-fried with big chunks of beef, tomatoes, grilled onions, french fries, and a heavy sprinkling of green onions on top. Big splashes of soy sauce and vinegar tenderize the beef strips, releasing their natural drippings to create a light sauce that coats the fries. In other words, this meat and starch masterpiece is nearly impossible to stop eating once you start. If you want something sweet to balance out all the savory, try some sticky, crispy pumpkin and sweet potato picarones. They get drenched (and we mean drenched) in a runny homemade syrup, which somehow makes them both decadent and deceptively light." - Sylvio Martins
