Who ever would have thought there'd be a Peruvian food restaurant in Angel Fire? We were surprised. So the Peruvian and I made sure to give this spot a try. The food and service were very good. I'd be happy to eat here again.
Pollo a La Brasa is a whole roasted chicken. We really wanted to try that, but missed the note about ordering it a day ahead, but next time for sure.
The ceviche and papa a la Huancaina were both legit tasty.
The papa a la Huancaina is a boiled potatoes dish with a spicy yellow sauce over the top, usually a side dish. We missed the traditional kalamata olives that usually accompany this dish, and they didn't have any, only the standard USA black olives (yuck), when we asked if we could get a side of olives. The Huancaina sauce was very good.
The ceviche surprised me. There's no ocean near Angel Fire, but the fish was delicious.
My Peruvian dining partner ordered the obligatory Inca Cola. If you are dining with kids I'd definitely recommend sharing an Inca Cola. It looks like Mountain Dew, but doesn't taste like it. It has a sweet fruity flavor. I've grown fond of it over the years, kids will love it.
The service was a little bit rocky at the start as a couple of items we wanted to order weren't available. We went early around 4pm or so the kitchen hadn't fully prepared for the dinner service. The waitress was very nice, though, and we understood.
They have a few dining in options: an indoor dining room, indoor patio and an outdoor patio dining. Both the indoor patio and outdoor patio have a great view.
It's super easy to miss this little spot. It's tucked in behind a ski rental store. Look for the "WINE & DINE" sign to find the restaurant entrance.
