"Have you ever had Peruvian food before? I recently came to Birú Cocina Peruana and they specialize in elevated Peruvian food, yet still remain true to the roots of the culture. They 're not afraid to branch out and put their own twist on some classic dishes. Note: Peruvian food can be more on the brighter, citrusy side due to the constant use of aji a lil spicier than jalapeño, but a bit more fruity in taste), red onion, and garlic. Anyways, let 's see what I got: Cebiche Nikkei a Japanese Peruvian ceviche composed of big eye tuna, aji limo, red onion, yuyo, cucumber, avocado, green onion, mayu burnt garlic oil), and acebichada leche de tigre the white liquid base you see, it 's light, slightly creamy, and thin in texture) easily a top 3 ceviche I 've had in town! So refreshing. $16.64) 4.5/5 Seco a braised short rib made with corn cider, cilantro, aji amarillo, Canario beans a bit softer and buttery than pinto beans), and salsa criolla what 's on top of the short rib, it 's like a red onion relish, bright in flavor think kinda like a chimichurri type of taste) very tender, came easily off the bone! Great array of flavor. Really enjoyed this! $17.68) 4.5/5 Chicharron Waffles crispy pork belly, sweet potato waffles, spiced syrup, and aji limo. Damn! What a fun take on waffles. I love the contrast of savory, sweet, spicy, and citrus flavors. Don 't miss out on this one. $12) 4.25/5 Arroz con Mariscos: translates into rice with seafood . This dish is similar to that of a jamabalaya, but more citrusy. This comes with 4 different types of seafood: shrimp, octopus, mussels, and scallops and honestly damn! I am a picky seafood eater and this plate just smacked. Try this! $16.64) 4.25/5 All in all, I was highly satisfied with my experience here. All the food was pretty great and given the price you pay per dish, you get your money 's worth when you consider the complexity involved with each dish and the high quality of ingredients used. All that said, I give them a 4.5/5 overall. Nicely done! I will be back to try some more dishes!"
