madbakerThis week's Lockdown Takeout Review: Mochica.
This is a Peruvian place on the other side of the hill. I had a drink there once but mostly we know it as "one of the places adjacent to the pizza place." We ordered their roast chicken with chimichurri meal, which also came with a green salad and french fries.
What worked: The chicken was moist and tender, but not falling apart. The papaya dressing for the salad even had a bit of kick to it. Also, the timing was pretty good in that the french fries were not wholly soggy. They weren't crisp of course, but they were about as good as you can expect for takeout.
What didn't: It wasn't exceptional. The wife has had a craving for roast chicken and I think we're just going to roast our own next week.
Will we visit again? I wouldn't rule it out, but there's nothing drawing me back either.
