El Fogon '08

We hadn't been out for Peruvian for a while so this weekend we hit the Peruvian strip in Toronto. (It's more commonly known as St. Clair to Toronto folk despite the two Peruvian places only blocks apart.) Of course we went to our favorite El Fogon.

To start things off I shared some Papas a la Huancaina with Janice. It was tasty as usual. Others had some Ensalada Criolla that seemed to be well liked.

Bread was fresh & light and came with some garlic hot pepper sauce.

As main courses the majority had Lomo Saltado while Janice broke from the herd and had Tacu Tacu. The Lomo Saltado was enjoyable as it had a nice flavour. My only complaint was that it was a little light on the lomo (beef). Overall though it was good with huge portions which always make me happy. The rice seemed to be reasonably peruvian so it was a nice change from the varieties we have at home. Janice seemed to like her Tacu Tacu as she devoured it (despite the large portion) and moved on to preying on the onions in my saltado.

With the big portions we had to skip dessert. Overall it was a good meal and we'll definitely be back.
