Underwhelming Tucumanas — expected more

I was looking forward to Tucumanas 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 ají amarillo or from scaling up production at the expense of quality.

Bolivia preserves some of the most ancient Andean food traditions including chuño freeze-drying which dates to pre-Inca times. The a La Paz salteñería morning setting I was hoping for wasn't quite there either. cola morada 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.
