Mo-Chica

Because we enjoyed the camaraderie of the people on our Peruvian tour so much, we have now officially carried over our friendship into our North American lives. We checked our calendars and found a date that all six of us were available and then chose a Peruvian restaurant in downtown LA in which to continue our friendship and adoration of Peruvian food.

We chose Mo-Chica, a fusion restaurant (with Italian overtones) partly because the menu looked interesting, and partly because they serve pisco sours.

The place was crowded, so I'm glad I made reservations, but that also meant that the noise level was high. Our service was excellent, the food (which are like tapas - small plates to be shared with everyone) was very delicious, and the pisco sours were delcious, but very small and quite expensive. The plates were also on the pricey side, but we decided that it was much less expensive than actually going to Peru.
