"Like Oregon, Peru is a land of tall mountains, rain-drenched forests, and a spectacular coastline, and it’s a gift to Portlanders that Casa Zoraya’s owners offer Portland its creative, affordable Peruvian cuisine that fuses land and sea, Old World and New, tradition and invention. Highlights of the menu are the fresh ceviche bowls with spicy, tangy leche de tigre (“Tiger’s milk” made from fish stock, lime, and chiles) and sweet potatoes, as well as arroz con mariscos — seafood rice with rotating seasonal catch. Those dining in can enjoy frothy pisco sours and other specialty cocktails." - Nathan Williams, Jenni Moore
