El Saltado in Alexandria

I really enjoy coming to this peruvian restaurant. They have such a variety of peruvian dishes. Today I ordered the Lomo soltado and it was on point!

Everything else was perfect on the chicha, sweetness, key lime, water and boiled time for the corn. - Tiradito: This one is actually very hard to find in the US. This one w...
