Underwhelming Charquekan — expected more

I was looking forward to Charquekan here based on the reputation. The reality was disappointing. The simple and honest character that makes this dish special was muted — either from shortcuts with chuño freeze-dried potato or from scaling up production at the expense of quality.

salteñas are distinct from Argentinian empanadas with a juicy broth filling. The a market lunch counter setting I was hoping for wasn't quite there either. singani grape spirit was available but not suggested appropriately. I've had much better versions elsewhere. Two stars because the dish concept is sound; the execution let it down.
