Peruvian cuisine is a thrilling blend of flavors, textures, and cultural influences that has 
made it one of the world's most varied and delicious culinary traditions. At El Gordo Eatery, 
we take pride in bringing the authentic taste of Peru to our guests. Here’s a closer look at 
some of the traditional dishes you can enjoy at our restaurant.
Pollos a la Brasa – The Peruvian Rotisserie Chicken
Pollos a la Brasa, or Peruvian rotisserie chicken, is a beloved staple in Peru and a crowd-
pleaser at El Gordo. Marinated in a mix of spices like garlic, cumin, and paprika, then slow-
cooked to perfection, this dish offers juicy, flavorful meat with a crisp, golden skin. It’s often 
served with sides such as crispy fries and a salad, making it a hearty and satisfying meal.
Ceviche Mixto – A Citrusy Seafood Delight
Ceviche Mixto is a must-try for seafood lovers. This classic Peruvian dish combines fresh fish 
and shellfish, marinated in freshly squeezed lime juice with onions, cilantro, and chili 
peppers. The citrus from the lime cooks the seafood, resulting in a refreshing, tangy dish 
that’s both light and invigorating.
Lomo Saltado – The Fusion Favorite
Lomo Saltado is a prime example of the cultural fusion that characterizes Peruvian cuisine, 
mixing traditional Andean ingredients with Asian cooking techniques. This stir-fry combines 
marinated strips of sirloin with onions, tomatoes, and French fries, all tossed together and 
served with rice. The result is a flavorful mix of savory and hearty elements that perfectly 
captures the essence of Peruvian comfort food.
