finally I met Minh - "ojitos chinitos!!!!"
Through a common friend - a TB who lives in
At the beginning I wasn’t sure if I would be in town, but I
did it! He invited me to join him and his friend, Gipy, the night before, but I
was tired and couldn’t do it. I missed all the fun they had :(
Well, a new day a new meeting with a new friend.
The service was very good and faster than ever!!! We shared
some appetizers – really good ones – and since it was early we didn’t drink any
alcohol.
It was around 7:30pm when I met Gipy and Minh again. We met
in Larcomar and went to the Mangos to have something to eat while he was telling me about his adventures that day earlier in Lima - I'm sure he'd write about them. After that we were
going to a Peruvian show with typical dances. They would give us a pisco sour,
so Gipy and I decided not to have one yet. In the other hand Minh ordered a
double. It was huge!!! Look like a glass of lemonade, haha. And we didn’t have
much time before going to the show, so it was like a super shot!!!! And he
survived!!!!
The show was performed in a restaurant in the same mall, so
we just had to walk a bit.
Later they performed a dance from highlands and were
looking for some people to dance with them.
Gipy and Minh would go to a party later. I couldn’t join
them there, but we could go to have some drinks. Where to go??? Well, to my
place – Tayta!!!! Hahaha. Minh was telling me next time I’m going to Austin I
definitely have to contact him, which I would do, that’s for sure! He knows THE
places and THE people, haha. The
atmosphere was great with music and cozy. We had a couple of beers, were
chilling out for a while and it was time to leave. Minh would stay in town
until Thursday, so I guess this is just the 1st entry with him,
hehe.

I visited it for first time with Minh and enjoyed the place. Although I have to be honest and said, I attended to better shows. For example, the greatest one is in Downtown, which makes it not so easy to access, besides you have to buy the tickets with 1 week in advance the latest. But this restaurant is very well located, in a really nice mall, very easy and safe to access, besides it's not so hard to find place.
Other important thing is the fact that the stage is not at same level as the tables, so everyone can enjoy the show. Also, they have flat screens where you can watch the details. The show lasts 2 hours and during the show you will listen music and see dances from coast and highlands. At same time you can taste a Peruvian Buffet. I didn't have it the first time and the second time we ordered from the menu. Anyway, the dishes were tasty, so I guess the buffet is tasty too, hehe, although is expensive. Even though you get a free drink, ask for Pisco Sour, with the cover (S/.50.-!), which was good!
The place is full with tourists, who enjoy the performance of the typical dances and are invited to dance with them. I was invited and danced too :)
The staff is friendly and take care of every detail. They will approach to you and ask where you come from, so your table will get a flag from the country you are from.
The atmosphere is very nice too, plus it has a wonderful view! The furniture is new and has a good style. It's elegant, but also comfortable. The stage is in the center and the tables are surrounding it. Also, they are 3 stations of food, so there wouldn't be long lines. They also have a bar and a small lounge, so you can wait there until you go to your sits.
But the night doesn't end after the show. A singer will perform typical dances. The show is on from Thursday - Saturday. Better call and make a reservation to get a good spot! Oh! and it can be a bit expensive compared to others.
