A
satisfying,
very
affordable
meal
in
North
Beach
is
right
here!
This
sister
restaurant
of
Locura
Marina
next
door
has
the
more
casual
cuisine,
as
we
found
out,
without
ceviche.
But
your
other
Chifa
and
Peruvian
staples
can
be
found
here.
Their
air
conditioning
had
broken
when
we
visited
for
an
early
dinner,
so
they
had
ceiling
fans
running
and
their
door
locked
to
prevent
people
from
opening
the
door
often
and
letting
the
cooler
air
out.
We
had
to
wait
for
over
20
minutes
outside
the
front
door
in
the
humid
weather
in
hopes
of
seeing
someone
coming
out
so
that
the
door
would
be
unlocked.
We
saw
there
was
only
one
main
server
working
on
all
of
the
tables
in
the
restaurant,
with
another
one
popping
in
and
joining
the
service
well
into
our
meal,
so
despite
their
seeing
us
outside,
the
staff
did
not
let
us
in
or
immediately
seat
us
when
we
came
inside.
We
were
talking
about
finding
another
restaurant
in
the
area
when
the
server
told
us
to
sit
at
a
table
she
recently
cleared.
The
ensuing
meal
turned
out
to
be
a
little
worth
that
wait!
We
happened
to
come
to
the
restaurant
and
be
seated
when
many
other
tables
were
finishing
their
meal
or
were
paying
their
bills.
This
meant
the
service
was
more
prompt
than
we
thought
it
would
be,
despite
the
two
servers
available
for
all
the
tables.
We
had
the
$15
all
day
lunch
special
which
included
an
appetizer,
an
entree
and
a
soft
drink.
I
was
able
to
get
a
chicha
morada
included
with
my
meal,
which
was
the
ultimate
Peruvian
treat.
By
the
way,
we
asked
about
the
soup
of
the
day
and
were
told
it
is
only
available
from
Monday-Friday.
The
Anticuchos
were
slightly
tough
to
cut
but
well
seasoned
and
grilled
for
what
it
is
(presumably
cow
heart),
and
the
potatoes
that
accompanied
them
were
tender
but
firm
on
the
outside
from
the
grill.
The
Papa
o
Yuca
Huancaina
(also
an
appetizer)
was
filling
from
just
one
bite,
from
the
well
cooked
yuca
and
creamy
Huancaina
sauce.
I
got
the
Kam
Lau
Wantan
con
Arroz
Blanco,
thinking
it’s
a
nice
combination
plate
of
pork,
chicken
and
shrimp.
The
tamarin
sauce
that
dressed
the
stir
fry
was
a
little
sweet
for
my
taste,
but
I
can
see
how
its
duck
sauce
like
taste
with
soy
sauce
notes
is
pleasing
to
other
diners.
The
fried
ground
chicken
wantons
were
great
with
the
thick
sauce.
I
just
wish
there
had
been
more
filling!
Despite
the
air
conditioning
and
staffing
situation,
the
restaurant
is
a
good
choice
for
not
just
Peruvian
food
but
a
solid
casual
meal
in
all
the
touristy
dining
options
in
the
North
Beach
area.
Give
it
a
try
if
you’re
ever
in
the
area!
