Cheap Eats: Mi Peru
Where: Mi Peru, 1760 Miami Gardens Drive, Aventura, (305) 940 9404.
What $15 Gets You: A big plate of chaufa with meat and a drink.
For those who lump Latin cuisine into a category consisting of rice, beans and some sort of meat, Mi Peru in Aventura is one hell of a surprise. The first thing you’ll notice as you browse the menu at the restaurant is the strong Japanese influence over a lot of their rice dishes. Chaufa is essentially fried rice with meat.
The price of the food really pushes the $15 budget, so I ordered the chaufa with meat. From the menu pictures posted above the order counter, I figured that the dish would be decently sized, but that was quite the understatement.
