        <content>It's in a strip mall at Hollywood and Van Ness, right between a 7-11 and Yai Thai.

It's good.

It's, I think, a step down the ladder below Mario's and the extraordinary Puro Sabor (which I just also posted about) - it's a little homier, a little greasier, but completely tasty. They have a very good purple corn drink. (So far, in going to Peruvian restaurants, I have to say, every purple corn drink is completely different.) 

Fried squids are tasty little fellers - salty and crispy.

The utter magic wonder thing here, though, is boiled potatoes in sauce. First of all, Peruvian Know Potatoes. Sometimes, at Pollo a la Brasa, I start to think that their boiled potato (unsauced) is even better than their chicken. People look at me strange when I have this thought. It might be true.

Natalee's comes in this orange, cheese-or-hollandaise sauce thing that is - velvety, throaty, sexy, luscious, pure pure. It's kind sort of like alternate universe, big-strong-Beowulf-hero-man's version of mac and cheese, but with boiled potatoes.
