MACA Peruvian Restaurant

The resturant and staff is very nice.
The food is another story.
As a Peruvian, I have thoughts.
We tried these dishes Picarones 1/10.
All you tasted was oil from frying.
The sauce was not the traditional sauce, it was simple sugar.
The sugar wasn't even dissolved all the way. $10.00 Purple Corn Pudding (Mazamorra Morada) 1/10 It had a sugary flavor.
The dessert was extremely watered down.
It did have the traditional prune and pineapple chunk but exactly 1 piece of each. $14.00 Lucuma Ice Cream 10/0.
This dessert saved us.
It was exactly as it should be and very delicious. $9.00 Aeropuerto 10/10 This was exactly as it should be.
Very traditional Peruvian.
The wonton were well made and the mix was on point. $20.00 1 Kam-Lu Wantan 2/10 This was a very disappointing dish.
It was not seasoned well.
The only part of it that was good was the wonton.
The sauce was overly sweet and had no flavor. $23.00 Anticuchos con Rachi 10/10 perfectly made.
It was my favorite dish.
The seasoning was just a but spicy that really gave it a winning touch. $38.00 Ceviche De Pescado 3/10.
The sweet potato was not done cooking.
The fish was not done either.
It seems as though the lime used was mixed with something else or it wasn't pure lime.
In traditional ceviche if you use pure lime, you can see the difference and taste the fish is done. $20.00 Arroz con Leche 1/10.
Terrible.
Watered down.
Not sweet and overwhelming taste of coconut. $8.00 Chaufa De Pollo 10/10 not exactly how it is traditionally made.
But it was delicious. $18.00 Tallarines a La Huancaina Con Bistec 10/10 It was perfect.
The steak was delicious and the tallarines perfectly seasoned. $21.00 1 Papa Rellena 10/10 perfect.
Even the onions that came with it was made amazingly. $13.00

The atmosphere was nice but the front door continually popped open allowing cold air in.
As we were close, it was a constant distraction.
My steak was supposed to be medium but was well done (no pink) and a bit tough.
To give the servers the benefit of the doubt it was crowded but it took a while to.order with later tables ordering before us.
They also didn't come around for a long while to top drinks or see how things were.
The rice was good as were my plantains.
My wife liked her food.
I'd give 3.5 stars but it's not an option.
Don't think we'd return.

I went here for my cousins birthday! What a surprise!! The staff was extremely attentive and the food was excellent.
The bonus is the karaoke we sang all night long! I highly recommend this place to anyone that wants a really good laid back time!
