The best baleada in town can be found here. Las Americas is owned by Colombian native Richard Molina and features dishes from Colombia, Honduras and Mexico - and Venezuela, too (the freshly made arepas).
Machu Picchu's menu is familiar to those who enjoy the Peruvian play with acidity and spice, stir-fry and charcoal grilled. Among the first-rate offerings is the ceviche, a dish that cries out for warm weather and is always the test for any kitchen.
Freshness is key to the menu items at Kabab-Je. Not surprisingly, the menu at Kabab-Je offers dozens of these small plates, including an ever-so-smooth hummus, smoky eggplant moutabel, ful moudamas (here not strictly fava beans, but mixed with chickpeas), house-made spicy soujok sausages, salads and stuffed grape leaves in olive oil. Among Kabab-Je's best are the gorgeous, succulent offerings from the charcoal grill: lamb kebabs, kafta skewers and boneless chicken with garlic sauce.
Chef Tony Kwok and his wife Phim are sure to charm you in this elegant take out spot. It may be hard to resist pigging out on starters like Mee Krob lettuce wraps and Ka Nom Jeb, but try to leave room for the excellent Pad Thai and Goong Chu Chee.
