El Mono | Fresh Flavors of Peru

Ceviche

Citrus-forward and properly leche de tigre-soaked, with fish that holds its texture rather than turning mushy — the clearest expression of the kitchen's commitment to freshness

Lomo Saltado

The classic wok-tossed beef stir-fry with tomatoes, onions, and fries folded in — a test of any Peruvian kitchen's chops, and this one nails the smoky high-heat char

Papa a la Huancaína

Boiled potatoes blanketed in a creamy, slightly spiced aji amarillo and cheese sauce — a satisfying starter that showcases Peru's signature yellow pepper

Pollo a la Brasa

Slow-roasted Peruvian chicken with the charred, spice-rubbed skin that makes this dish a comfort staple — typically served with aji verde dipping sauce

Causa

Layered cold potato terrine filled with seasoned chicken or tuna — deceptively light and a good showcase of how Peruvian cuisine turns humble ingredients into something elegant
