Causa Rellena exceeded every expectation
I went in with low expectations — I'd had mediocre versions before. What I found was Causa Rellena made with real commitment to purple corn and technique. The fresh and marine result was more complex and satisfying than anything I'd had before.
Peruvian cuisine blends indigenous Andean traditions with Japanese, Chinese, African, and Spanish influences. The a market anticucho stall was exactly right for this kind of eating. Pisco Sour was offered as the natural choice and it elevated everything. When a dish you thought you knew surprises you completely, that's worth celebrating. Five stars without hesitation.
