"Important events in 1998: Google launched, France finally won the World Cup, and Taste of Peru opened in Rogers Park. Their ceviche is a balanced combination of squid, shrimp, and corvinha, and comes with sweet potato and choclo that complements the tartness of the lime juice. We also like their arroz con mariscos ( a mountain of pillowy yellow rice and seafood) as well as their lomo saltado with savory skirt steak cooked with onions, tomatoes, and french fries. The cozy space is decorated with Peruvian artwork and only has a handful of tables, but it’s a great BYOB spot for a casual dinner with friends where you can share your favorite bottle of wine." - john ringor, veda kilaru
