Peruvian food is causing a commotion in the US: "The New York Times" has just printed a report on Peruvian restaurants in San Francisco (California), including plenty of photographs, maps and information to easily locate these places.

According to Peru21, the report, that praises our cebiche and pisco, includes the restaurants Limón Limón Rotisserie , Mi lindo Perú, Inkas, Piqueos and La Mar–Cebichería Peruana, the latter owned by the well known cheff Gastón Acurio.

“The people in San Francisco loves to eat and is open to new cultures and flavors. It is the best place to start our dream of taking our gastronomy to the US,” says Acurio.

The report highlights the diversity of culinary traditions (Andean, Spanish, Chinese, Japanese and African) blended in Peruvian gastronomy.

A cebiche in San Francisco can cost $9, while a Cusqueña beer costs $4 and a serving of anticuchos is sold for $7.
