"We started with a frozen Mango cocktail and some empanadas. The empanadas had a wonderful crust and a delicious filling. My friend ordered the Taco Trio with shrimp, and I enjoyed that as well. I'm already looking forward to trying their entrees and other cocktails during our next visit.
*UPDATE: The last time I visited Maura's was in August 2021, and more recently in February 2022. I wanted to focus on healthy eating, and this is my new favorite spot for excellent Peruvian cuisine. This time, I tried the Spicy Margarita Peru ($11), which was so good that I ended up ordering two. It wasn't overly sweet, with just the right amount of zest, and the alcohol was perfectly mixed with freshly pressed lemonade.
For an appetizer, we shared the Camarones a la Piedra ($14)—jumbo shrimp served on yuca. It was incredible! The shrimp were perfectly cooked, and the yuca was creamy yet firm, topped with anchovies in a sweet reduction sauce. A true delight!
For my main course, I chose the Pollo a La Brasa ($21.99), served with caramelized Brussels sprouts and sweet plantains. The rotisserie chicken was probably the best I've ever had. I typically avoid chicken skin, but I couldn't resist the crispy skin on this dish. It was juicy and subtly flavored, making for a wonderful meal from start to finish.
Also, Kevin, our server outside, was fantastic. I can't wait to go back!"
