"In this house, the heart of the menu skews heavily towards the mountainous informed foods of the Sacred Valley region where matriarch Zoraya Zambrano hails from, then expands to encapsulate the full breadth of Peruvian cuisine. They've found a recipe for success, melding Zambrano's traditional home style cooking with her son Gary Marmanillo's touch of modernity. If you're in the mood for something meaty, it's hard to go wrong with one of his favorites: the seco de cordero (lamb, spinach & cilantro sauce, garlic rice, beans) has the comforting qualities as a pot roast."
"Taking inspiration from her grandmother, chef Luna Contreras plates produce-laden dishes at her fonda Mexicana. Start with small plates like mushroom and Gruyere empanadas before moving on to fresh seafood dishes like Manila clams with chorizo or chipotle shrimp and tuna cocktail. Main dishes include the restaurant's colorful tlayudas (can be made vegan upon request with house cashew cheese) and agave-brined pork chops served with masa grits."
Hispanic Heritage Month runs from mid-September to mid-October and presents culinary ways to experience Hispanic and Latino cultures. Recommended restaurants include Cloudforest, Mis Tacones, Casa Zoraya, JW Piedmont Chelo, and Concordia. Casa Zoraya focuses on Sacred Valley mountain foods and traditional Peruvian dishes updated with modern touches, highlighted by seco de cordero. JW Piedmont Chelo offers fonda Mexicana dishes—empanadas, Manila clams with chorizo, chipotle shrimp, tlayudas that can be veganized, and agave-brined pork chops—plus a bottle and snack shop, Almacen Damita. Cloudforest's Sebastian Cisneros sources cacao and vanilla directly to produce single-estate chocolates with unconventional flavors.
