Puro Sabor Peruvian Restaurant

Peruvian, in the purest tradition Juana Paz dishes up South American classics at her bright Van Nuys Restaurant. The restaurant brightens up its nondescript block with a cheery red sign and smart logo of an Incan cook. Sitting across from Q Bargain Swap Meet around the corner from the utilitarian Elks club building, the rejuvenated former taco shop welcomes patrons with a spotless interior, cloth-covered tables and a sophisticated color scheme of hunter green and pale peach.

Her own boss Managing A restaurant was a great way to learn the ins and outs of the business. But Paz wanted to cook and have complete control of a kitchen — particularly over the selection and quality of ingredients — and so with two partners she finally struck out on her own. Every detail of the food seems to have passed the rigorous Paz test. The aji — that mint-green condiment in a plastic squirt bottle — is her carefully developed blend of the Peruvian black mint, huacatay, and Peruvian yellow chiles swirled together with milk and fresh cheese — blazing heat and creaminess in well-calibrated bala

The Peruvian love for seafood has a lot to do with its long dramatic coastline and proximity to the Humboldt and El Nino currents. No surprise then that seafood abounds at Puro Sabor: hot, cold, fried, dosed with cream or enlivened with peppery spices — ready to take your palate on a wild ride.
