The Perfect Pair Exploring BYOB Options with Peruvian Meals at El Gordo Eatery
                     The Perfect Pair: Exploring BYOB Options with Peruvian Meals at El
Gordo Eatery
At El Gordo Eatery, we celebrate the rich flavors of Peruvian cuisine and invite you to 
enhance your dining experience by pairing your favorite beverages with our dishes. As a 
BYOB restaurant, we encourage guests to bring their own drinks, which opens up a world of 
possibilities for creating perfect pairings. Here’s a guide to matching beverages with some of
our popular Peruvian meals.
Pollos a la Brasa with Red Wine
Our succulent Pollos a la Brasa, a marinated rotisserie chicken that’s a staple in Peruvian 
dining, pairs wonderfully with a robust red wine. A medium-bodied Malbec or a smooth 
Merlot complements the smoky, savory flavors of the chicken, enhancing the marinade’s 
rich blend of garlic, spices, and herbs.
Ceviche Mixto with White Wine or Beer
The citrusy and fresh flavors of Ceviche Mixto, made with lime-marinated seafood, are 
ideally enhanced by a crisp white wine or a light beer. A Sauvignon Blanc with its zesty 
acidity matches the dish’s brightness, while a light pilsner or lager can contrast nicely with 
the ceviche’s tangy profile, balancing the heat from the aji peppers.
Lomo Saltado with Craft Beer
Lomo Saltado, a flavorful stir-fry that combines marinated beef with onions, tomatoes, and 
fries, calls for a beverage that can stand up to its hearty and spicy elements. A hoppy IPA or 
a robust porter provides the perfect counterbalance to the rich soy and vinegar sauce, 
making each bite even more delightful.
Aji de Gallina with Sparkling Water or Champagne
The creamy and slightly spicy Aji de Gallina, a traditional dish made with shredded chicken in
a walnut-cream sauce, pairs nicely with the crispness of sparkling water or a glass of 
champagne. The bubbles and slight sweetness of these drinks complement the richness of 
the sauce, offering a refreshing contrast.
