Eating Out: Lunch with Fredo Algebra


You don't have to ask me twice to be in a video about lunch.  Ok, it was a music video, and before you call me a video ho, just look at what I got to eat.

Eating Out: Mochica


Right now I wish I could eat these again.  (Taken with instagram)

What you are staring at right here is the best freebie any restaurant can give.  Fuck getting bread and butter, because at Mochica in SF, you get this bowl of crispy garbanzo beans tossed with tomatoes and cheese and some of those giant Peruvian corn-nuts.  Any restaurant that just gives you something delicious just for showing up will make me want to come again- and come again- just for that.

I heard about this place because I bought a Groupon for it.  It's in the same family as Piqueo's, another great SF Peruvian joint I discovered with a deal, so I knew it would be a good one.  Piqueo's also gives garbanzo beans, but they must do something different at Mochica- is it the tomatoes?  I forgot. 



Tres cebiche (Taken with instagram) 
You can't go to a Peruvian spot and not get the cebiche, and here, you can do the sampler.  Sometimes I don't want to commit to something and just get a little taste of everything, and this is perfect for that.  The green bowl has more of a cilantro flavor, and the orange bowl is on the spicier side.  I can drink that sauce and lick my lips after, I don't give a damn!

I'll be coming again, especially since I bought another Groupon!
