Pairing Charquekan correctly — a note on api maize drink warm
Most people overlook how much the right drink changes Charquekan. I ordered it with api maize drink warm and the simple and honest elements of the dish sharpened considerably against the pairing. quinoa in particular became more prominent in a good way.
salteñas are distinct from Argentinian empanadas with a juicy broth filling. The a La Paz salteñería morning is where you learn these pairings — they evolved together. If you've been having Charquekan with the wrong drink, try it correctly once. It's a genuinely different experience. The restaurant deserves credit for getting this right.
