I got a minuta (Peruvian snowcone) with Tamarindo and Diablito which is lime, salt and Chamoy. It was delicious, and the tamarindo is definitely house made, with all the pits still in the sauce which really makes it look fresh. My husband got coconut and banana and it had the best coconut flavor with chunks of coconut. They’re super nice, and also the store has lots of Peruvian products which makes me want to try out some Peruvian recipes.
