Yesterday JP and I participated in
another Fat Tour. We went to this place neither of us had been to
called Inti Restaurant over on Melrose and Cahuenga. Never been here
and never heard of it. Hell, I'd never even eaten Peruvian food
before so this was a lot of little new things. I won't even try and
name the stuff we had but I'll try to describe it as best I can. I
wanted to try two new dishes and rethought this decision once I saw
one of the big ass plates someone else had.
We each got a dish that
was spaghetti, Tallarin Saltado De Carne, with some type of soy sauce
(I got chicken she got beef) with onions and tomato. It was a huge
portion but we ended up eating almost all of it. I also got what is
called a Lomo Saltado which was “strips of beef sauteed with
onions, tomatoes, and french fries served with steamed white rice,
strips of beef sauteed with onion.” I know that sounds crazy but
I'll be damned if a plate full of fries, steak, and rice wasn't
amazing. We killed that dish.
We got the plantains too which were
made differently than I'd had before. They were fried a little more
and sweeter. Oh, and the Inca Cola is now one of my new favorite
drinks. Damn, this place was really good. The prices were cheap, and
the service was fast and nice. The only downside is the fact that it
is on Melrose so parking was a bitch to get. Even before we were
finished eating I told JP that we had to come back and try some more
dishes. We later went to Carmela's and Bob's for coffee and donuts as an extra dessert on top of the caramel cookie we got with lunch.
