Rosario‘s Peruvian restaurant - Longmont Colorado.

May 15, 2019 

 

I have never had Peruvian food but a friend told me about this place so my parents and I decided to try it out. 

 

We got there about 4 PM and the place was empty but we had nice friendly service. It was in a strip mall but the inside was nice and had a simple decor and was painted red and white with pictures of Peru on the walls.

I didn’t really know what to get but luckily for me they have different Peruvian tour plates with two or three different items on them. I ordered tour plate number six which included a Papa Rellena, Aji de Gallina and Tallarin Saltado. Mom and Dad both got tour plate number five which included Lomo Saltado and Tallarin Saltado

Papa Rellena was really good. It was basically a really good baked potato stuffed with a meat mixture that included a few peas, carrots and hardboiled egg pieces. Then was battered and fried making it a little crispy around the outside.   Aji de Gallina was a chicken dish with a creamy Aji yellow pepper sauce and topped with a hardboiled egg slice and an olive. I thought this was excellent and Tallarin Saltado a beef noodle dish which tasted kind of like lo mein. 

Tour plate number five had Lomo Saltado which was stir-fried beef with onions and french fries and it also had the same Tallarin Saltado I had. 

Each plate was 16.99, so a little pricey but where else can you get Peruvian food around here.

The food at Rosario‘s was great! I couldn’t tell if the Aji de Gallina or Papa Rellena was the best but my whole meal was excellent. I can’t wait to return to my new favorite restaurant in Northern Colorado.
