New Lima District restaurant offers Peruvian cuisine

spices, fries, and rice ($16.99). 

Half of a charcoal roasted chicken (pollo a brasa) with two sides
is $9.99, and ceviche de pescado ($13.99).

Other Peruvian specialties include tallarines a la huancaina
con lomo saltado (linguini with huancaina sauce and steak); aeropuerto de carne
(fried rice with beef, egg noodles, bean sprouts, green onions, egg, and red
pepper); and arroz chaufa de pollo (a Peruvian version of chicken fried rice).

Lima District is open Thursday-Sunday 11 a.m.-2 a.m. and Tuesday and
Wednesday 11 a.m-11 p.m. It’s closed on Mondays.
