With Independence Day upon us, it’s important to reflect on what makes this country so damn great.
Pisco mules are a pretty good start.
Enter: Pisco y Nazca, a second outpost for fresh ceviche and pisco-spiked mules on a patio. It’s now open in Doral, here’s the slideshow, and here’s the menu.
Consider this an additional notch in Doral’s increasingly impressive food-related belt. Stepping in, it kind of feels like you’ve been transported to a sprawling Peruvian taberna. Copper tones. Walnut wood floors. Handmade concrete tiles inspired by Peru’s landscape. You get it.
Your play: round up a group with an affinity for citrus-soaked seafood and claim a table near the massive open kitchen. Devise a sharing strategy that includes short rib anticuchos and the mariscada made with mahi, octopus, mussels, squid ink and rice.
As for the refreshments: pisco, naturally. Sure, you can go with a traditional pisco sour. But it’s Friday. The long weekend is ahead. Go nuts and opt for the Nazca Mule, which uses the aforementioned Peruvian brandy instead of vodka.
