Casa Peru: Peruvian home cooking in Santa Ana

Posted: Friday, September 30, 2011 - By Ann Antkiw
Offering delicious, authentic Peruvian cuisine, this private-home-turned-restaurant is a refreshing departure from the west side’s ubiquitous strip-mall eateries.

What a lovely change to find a simple, homey restaurant away from the conglomeration of trendy eateries housed in shopping malls!

Casa Peru, once a private home, has been converted into a family-style restaurant serving typical Peruvian home cooking in Pozos de Santa Ana, southwest of San José. If you’re interested in formal dining and service, forget Casa Peru; this hospitable establishment gives the feeling you are visiting a private home for dinner.

The main dining room is simply furnished with dark wood tables and chairs, with woven Peruvian wall hangings adding color to the surroundings. We chose to sit at a banquette on the breezy patio, from where we could see chef Vanessa Arévalo and her assistant cooking up a storm in the small kitchen.
