It’s Cinco de Mayo. Who cares that Mexican people don’t celebrate the defeat of the French at Puebla? I will celebrate by eating Peruvian style chicken at a “mexican cafe”.
I went to El Jardin Latino for lunch today and got 1/2 of a rotisserie chicken, rice and beans for $7.99. It was very good food. I gave it 5 out of 6 points.
The chicken was a huge portion of food for the price and it was impossible to resist eating the skin (yep, I know it’s bad for me). I also got one Carnitas (pork belly) taco. Â The carnitas were a little dried out – but i’d definitely come back for the chicken.
El Jardin Latino is really a Latin market with a Mexican restaurant (Rocoto Chicken) in the back. Â This is so cool to me. Â From this tiny 2,000 square foot market – you can:
wire money to Mexico and Guatemala
buy workboots and a cowboy hat
buy questionable herbal remedies and aphrodisiacs (woohoo!)
shop for Mexican, Peruvian, Guatemalan, Salvadoran and Brazilian food stuff
eat lunch
Howdy,
My friend, Ron, just forwarded me your link. We found the Peruvian chicken a couple of weeks ago and luv it. I’m think’n your food style is right awn w/ my/our style. Keep the reviews coming. Would you be able to put some captions on your FB photos? Happy Food Adventures. Thanks!!!
Thanks! Yeah, captions are a good idea. I put up all of the photos on the site here as well. The FB page is a new venture for me.
