PERFECT LIVING THE GOOD LIFE AT PURA VIDA\r
\r
This city is loaded with stellar chefs and many have settled into their culinary niche, but not Chef/ Owner Hector Santiago of Pura Vida. Always searching for intriguing tastes to uplift the already remarkable menu line-up at this North Highlands eatery; this master chef recently took a culinary adventure to some remote villages of Peru.\r
\r
The menu is comprised of mouth watering shared plates or tapas each with exhilarating Latin American flavors, but whatever don’t overlook the “one of a kind” charcuterie offering. Hector has partnered with butcher and charcuterist Colin Miles of Leon’s Full Service to create savory meats that will fire up the palate like none other. These meats will surely have the taste buds jumping to the beat of a sassy salsa, and if you get the urge why not join them?\r
\r
A classic Peruvian raw fish dish that reflects the influences of the Japanese immigrants on Andean cooking is Tiradito. This version is a sashimi cut black gulf grouper loin that’s drizzled with a passion fruit and aji amarillo leche de tigre or tiger’s milk (In Peru, this invigorating potion is believed to be both a hangover cure as well as an aphrodisiac). A perfect follow-up to the tiradito is the Local Sungold Tomato Salad – firm sungolds are halved and served with a roasted pimento and hand squeezed mango juice, with finely sliced jicama and Spanish anchovies- totally a yum. \r
\r
Eating at Pura Vida is like a thrilling roller coaster ride as each food has an exciting twist or turn that one would not expect; for the ultimate scream try the Coconut Goat Stuffed Jalapeños – after stewing a goat for 12 hours in coconut water, it’s blended with a Puerto Rican adobo then stuffed into the peppers and topped with Chihuahua cheese, the tastes are simply spine-tingling. There seems to be a special thrill whenever Hector digs into his Super Pan bag of goods. The Taco al Pastor is full of lip-smacking flavors. This Mexican street food corn tortilla is grilled then stuffed with slow cooked pulled pork that’s marinated in a guajillo chili and pineapple marinade, and topped with grilled pineapple, queso fresco, micro-cilantro, and a touch of sriracha making it a fiesta for the taste buds. \r
\r
After tasting Hector’s mind-blowing foods at this ultra-cool Poncey-Highland eatery, perfecting the good life becomes a bit easier; so why wait to enjoy it?\r
