I recently tried Apollo y Jaras for the first time, which is the sibling restaurant to Ceviche 105. While both share similar menus, this one focuses more on Peruvian BBQ, whereas Ceviche 105 specializes in seafood. We ordered the Lomo Saltado, Pollo Saltado, and Milanesa de Abuela, but unfortunately, I was a bit disappointed with the meal overall.
To start, we were served a complimentary soup, but it was too salty for my taste. The Lomo Saltado, which featured both steak and chicken, was also quite salty, though it had good flavor. The Pollo Saltado was similar--flavorful but on the salty side. The Milanesa de Abuela was lacking in seasoning, and the Huancaina pasta was so overwhelmingly cheesy that it overshadowed the other flavors.
The Pisco Sour, however, was a highlight! It was light, refreshing, and definitely enjoyable. As for the service, it was decent--nothing special, but it got the job done. the ambience was nice, it was more laid back than Ceviche. The ceiling was adorned with vibrant Peruvian colors, featuring an array of blow-up balloons that beautifully represented the essence of Peru.
Overall, while I had high hopes for Apollo y Jaras, I wasn't completely blown away. The flavors just didn't balance out the way I expected.
