Culantro

"Culantro — an herb native to Central and South America — is also the word that Peruvians use for cilantro, which is featured prominently on many of the dishes at this family-owned casual restaurant. To start, try the ceviche, featuring fresh, raw fish that’s cured in the citrus acids of limes and garnished with onions, lettuce, peppers and spices, and accompanied by Peruvian corn and sweet potatoes. The rotisserie chicken comes out with an intensely flavorful, smoky sensation. The lomo saltado is a great sharable option, with marinated strip steak stir-fried with onions, tomato, soy sauce, and aji amarillo. To drink, try maracuya juice or an Inca Cola." - Serena Maria Daniels

"Culantro is an herb native to Central and South America, but also is what Peruvians call cilantro, which is featured in many of the dishes at this family-owned casual restaurant. The ceviche, a South American dish that originated in Peru,is fresh here and the raw fish is  cured in the citrus acids of fresh limes and garnished with onions, lettuce, peppers and spices, and accompanied by Peruvian corn and sweet potatoes. The rotisserie  chicken is the star of the show and as juicy and flavorful as any you might find south of the border.. Finish the meal with maracuya juice or an Inca Cola, Peru’s favorite pop." - Monica Williams
