But seriously, after the seafood, they're one of the foods we do best. As the resident Peruvian, I stand heartily behind the anticucho recommendation (har-har!)

I was a bit wary to try the anticuchos, but, based on your recommendation, I think I just might. I'm also curious about your other favorite Peruvian restaurants... MJ, you should definitely try out this restaurant on your next visit. Especially if you want to veer from typical Argentine cuisine, this place will satisfy your craving. Hi Dan, thanks for the tips!

Last time i was in BA, I became a little fed up with Argentine parillas and was craving something different. This place sounds really interesting and unique. I cant wait to try it out on my next visit. I’m totally with the writer on this one! Last time i was in BA, I became a little fed up with Argentine parillas and was craving something different.

The dessert typically has pineapple and apple pieces in it, and sometimes pieces of quince. Contigo Peru is definitely one of our favorite Peruvian spots as well - try their anticuchos and the choros a la chalaca next time you're there - the former is strips of spicy, grilled heart, and the latter an interesting variation on a ceviche made with mussels, corn, peas, and lemon juice.
