MERKADO 31 – Peruvian
Peruvian cooking taken seriously on 163rd Street, and the regulars treat it like a canteen. Ceviche comes sharp and cold; lomo saltado is the benchmark and holds up to it; tallarín verde with bistec and tallarines a la huancaína con lomo cover the noodle side of the repertoire. Grilled octopus, causa ocopa with shrimp, tacu tacu a lo pobre, and a risotto built on lomo saltado for anyone in a hybrid mood. Vegetarians are properly looked after. Calm room, unhurried service, open seven days until late.
