So she suggest we hit up MARIO's in La Mirada, which was is about 5-8min. from her house, and who would've thought that a BOMB ASS place would be right down the street from her house! Anyways.. we arrive and it's empty.. that could be a good thing because we don't have to wait to be seated, or a bad thing because maybe the food isn't too great. So we were seated and greeted.. Not too bad so far. We had a nice waitress that handed us our menus before she got us waters, so in the mean time, my gf and I began looking at the menus. One thing I didn't like about their menu is that it didn't have any pictures of the dishes.. I don't know about you but I like to see a preview of what I might be ordering.
Our waitress comes back with our waters and this..
Bread Appetizer w/ butter and..(look below)
some green spicy sauce
Nothing beats free bread! but they were ohhhkay.. I would've liked them to be warmer but oh well. If your really hungry then this bread would be good no matter what. Butter is butter =) and the green sauce added a little bit of spiciness to it. I'm not big on spicy but I'll always try it.
forgot the name, but don't bother.. this wasn't even that great.
Saltado De Pollo
Chunks of chicken sauteed w/ onions, tomatoes, and french fried potatoes. Served w/ lightly seasonedrice.
This was my gf's dish and it was good! the french fried potatoes complimented the chunks of chicken along with all the juices and sauce. I think more rice on this plate would've made it even better! haha.
Arroz Chaufa De Pollo
Chicken fried rice Peruvian style.
Mines and Oh my gosh!!! this dish was freak'n GOOOOOOD!! I almost ordered something else but our waitress recommend this dish and so I went for it and damn what a good decisions I made. Probably the best decision I made that week! Even when she laid my plate down, my eyes got HUUUGE!! When I took that first bite, I wanted share the taste that was running through my tastes buds w/ everyone I know. This is when I'm glad I made a blog because I could share with you guys all the good dishes I eat. And man o' man... this was good. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS dish if any of you guys ever get a chance to go to MARIO's in La Mirada.
Chinese fried rice ain't got nothing on Peruvian style fried rice. The pieces of chicken were good size chunks and crispy!! the dish wasn't too salty like fried usually is but make sure to drink a lot of water during and after your done. The scramble eggs made this dish even better. I love eggs and they had big chunks of it all over. Damn I'm hungry for this rightnow!
If there was a MARIO's close to my house.. shhiiet, It'd be OVA! I'm not just hyping this dish up. I'm serious, The Arroz Chaufa De Pollo is the truth!!! It's so freak'n good... I don't even wanna continue w/ this post anymore.
