A dish that tells its story — Api reviewed

You can taste history in Api if you know what to look for. salteñas are distinct from Argentinian empanadas with a juicy broth filling. The subtly spiced character reflects those layers — charque dried llama meat doesn't appear by accident; it came from a specific tradition.

The an indigenous community festival feast setting made sense of it. You understand the food differently when the context is right. cola morada alongside is part of that story. Some food is just fuel. Api, properly made, is something more. This version told the story well.
