From a yelp review:
Lunch is the main event at K-Rico.
*PORTIONS ARE HUGE*
– Classic Peruvian ceviche: This was so good I’m confident that the fish willingly hurled itself raw into the citrus marinade. Served over lettuce leaves with a large hunk of cooked yam (essential sweet and starchy counterpoint), sliced red onion, and two forms of hominy: boiled and popcorned. A wonderland of flavors and textures. (I like the sound of that…)
– Anticuchos: Sliced, marinated, grilled beef heart – a peruvian speciality. K-Rico’s had very nice flavor, but it was too thick for me. I’d say anticuchos should be no more than 1/8″ thick; theirs were 1/4″ and even 1/2″ in places. That can be a little aggressive for beef heart.
– Pollo saltado: This is the chicken version of what is maybe the best known Peruvian dish, lomo saltado. It’s an incredibly tasty mix of cultures (Chinese influence) and flavors involving meat, french fried potatoes, sauteed onions & tomatoes, and rice. The sauce is a peppery, savory, soy-inflected joy-bath. K-Rico’s was capable on this night. The sauce to substance ratio was off (not enough sauce), and there was a bit too much black pepper added on top. I will have to order it again.
