Ceviche

For the past couple of months my husband and I have made it a habit to try new restaurants every friday afternoon when he is off of work and 3/4 kids are in school. Yesterday we decided to go to a Peruvian restaurant I'd read about. It was a long drive but most of the good places are. We ordered some fried yucca (which the waiter pronounced joo-kah) with a very nice sauce that I couldn't begin to say or spell as an appetizer and ceviche as our entree (chicken bites for the munchkin). The yuccas were excellent and I definitely recommend them. The ceviche mixto we ordered was a combo of raw fish, squid, mussels and shrimp marinated in lime juice and served with onions, corn, sweet potatoes and seasoning. It was very good however a bit on the sour side because of the lime juice. I will say in its defense though that I'm a super taster so I have issues eating anything that is very hot, sweet, bitter or sour. It was probably only too sour for me. Mason didn't have any complaints at all. The texture of the fish and seafood was absolutely perfect. I was afraid the squid would be too rubbery which is always a disappointment since I so love squid, but it was wonderful. As far as drinks went, a nice mango juice for Mia, a Sprite for Mason and an Inca Kola for me. The Inca Kola was delish, tasting somewhat like a cream soda or Big Red, and looking just like cream soda. Yum yum! I couldn't take a picture of the food in the restaurant so I took a photo of it in the to-go box I brought home.
