Detail for Ay Ay Picante : Restaurant, Peruvian

The Peruvian Restaurant 'Ay, Ay Picante', located at 4569 N. Elston Ave., has a vast and diverse Peruvian menus, which include seafood, meats, fish, chicken, and a variety of desserts. Peruvian cuisine and Ay Ay Picante have a diverse flavor due to Peru's abundance of natural resources and its proximity to the ocean. Its food and flavors are also influenced by many cultures. It comes from the Inca, Spanish, Chinese, African, and Japanese cultures. The thing I like the best is Ceviche, which is like a Peruvian sushi salad. - Ray Y, 01/17/2006

Great Ceviche! I loooove the way they prepare the ceviche... sooo good! it has just the right amount of lemons and spices, we also had the traditional humita (sweet with raisins and cinnamon), for those who love meat this restaurant has a variety of dishes like lomo saltado (pieces of meat satee with onions tomatoes and fries hmmm) fillet a lo macho (grill beef with rice, beans and spices), our favorite was the anticuchos ( beef marinated in peruvian spices cooked on the grill), there are also fish



dishes and the best for some of us... vegetarian dishes available!!! They have a web side AYAYPICANTE.COM , and you will see the complete menu, service is great, place is a byob (no corkage fee)and is perfect for groups, they also have a patio that will accommodate at least 20 people (maybe more), reservations are requested (just in case).
