Last Friday my girlfriend and I were looking for a nice to place to eat since she was not in the mood to cook and neither was I. We decided to try out this place that my father-in-law had recommended. I was reluctant at first since I figured most latin food only consistd of rice and beans and endless variations on tomato sauces. Mochica's the difference because it is hands down the best restaurant I have ever come acoss. The entire dining experience was phenomenal, the waitress was this cute chinese latin girl that spoke perfect spanish and carefully explained the lomg menu to me. I kept stopping her during her explaination of different dishes to ask questions but her patience never wavered. In the end I orderedChuletas de cordero (lamb chops) and Papa a la Huancaina (potatoes and spices chile sauce) to start. The two plates were perfectly portioned to whet one's appetite. Next were the entree's, Mar y Tierra and ceviche atun. Both plates are very exotic, mixed with rare spices and vegtables. One of the best parts was the sangria, Maria(our waitress) informed us that is was made with champagne and brandy, for me that was the kicker. Best food at the best price, period.
