El Rocoto
We decided to visit an old favorite spot last weekend – El Rocoto in Cerritos. They serve great Peruvian food.
If you’ve never tried Peruvian food (what are you waiting for?), it’s South American cuisine with a pronounced Chinese influence. It’s not uncommon to find fried rice and wonton soup on a Peruvian restaurant’s menu. Actually, my favorite dish is lomo saltado, which always reminds me of the chow fun I would eat every Sunday with my grandmother in Chinatown.
For starters - hot bread and some spicy dipping sauces
Peruvian beer - it was actually very sweet.
Lomo Saltado: ribeye with french fries, onions, tomatoes, cliantro and lime.

Good gods, that looks good.
slonie! ryan was telling me about your brother… that’s awesome! do you have the cooking skills as well?
Nope, I think he got all the skills!
Actually I would really like to cook more and get better at it, but I’m just lazy. Josiah has a gift though!
Well, at least you have a cooler beard! And he’s never jumped his car over a berm!
