MO-CHICA -- PART 2



CHEF RICARDO ZARATE'S FABULOUS 
NUEVO PERUANO CUISINE

We opened our Mo-chica grazing experience with a classic Ceviche Carretillero -- seabass, rocoto, red onion, leche de tigre, choclo and yuzo. 

The bass is super fresh and the mix of toasted and soft corn is a perfect contrast to the clear chunks of citrus-cured finfish.

Next was a Carapulcra -- Peruvian sun dried potato stew topped with crispy pork belly, peanuts and house-made chimichurri.

This warm dish is incredibly pungent and hearty.

We went back to cold seafood for our final plate, Causa de Cangrejo -- an otherworldly combo of sweet fresh crab and fresh avocado on a bed of chilled aji amarillo mashed potatoes. 

Mo-chica restaurant review continues tomorrow November 9
