Charquekan exceeded every expectation

I went in with low expectations — I'd had mediocre versions before. What I found was Charquekan made with real commitment to llajua chilli salsa and technique. The subtly spiced result was more complex and satisfying than anything I'd had before.

salteñas are distinct from Argentinian empanadas with a juicy broth filling. The a traditional Andean home was exactly right for this kind of eating. cola morada was offered as the natural choice and it elevated everything. When a dish you thought you knew surprises you completely, that's worth celebrating. Five stars without hesitation.
