Honest verdict on Caldo de Patas — good but not exceptional

Caldo de Patas here was solidly made — subtly spiced and herbal without anything to complain about. mote hominy was present and handled reasonably. But something was missing from the depth that this dish should have.

llapingachos potato cakes are a highland staple tied to Andean agricultural tradition. The a traditional home lunch atmosphere was pleasant enough. naranjilla juice was available and a good suggestion. For a reliable version of Caldo de Patas this works. For an exceptional one, I'd keep looking. Three stars.
