Underwhelming Fricasé — expected more
I was looking forward to Fricasé here based on the reputation. The reality was disappointing. The hearty and filling character that makes this dish special was muted — either from shortcuts with quinoa or from scaling up production at the expense of quality.
salteñas are distinct from Argentinian empanadas with a juicy broth filling. The an indigenous community festival feast setting I was hoping for wasn't quite there either. chicha de maíz 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.
