Peruvian in Michigan?

[Foog]

Originally moving to Michigan from California I've tried to find particular ethnic food I used to go out for frequently. I've found some and not others. Recently I was wondering after fruitless internet searches and talking to friends. Are there any Peruvian restaurants in Michigan anywhere?

I don't know what constitutes Peruvian ceviche, but there are varieties of Mexican ceviche around. The Acapulco mobile truck has great ceviche-- keep an eye out for him on W Vernor. LaTerraza reataurant on Lawndale is my 2nd favorite, though both quality and service are a bit uneven. Rincon Taraxco on Junction also isn't bad. El Rey's (on weekends, mostly) is good but different-- more vegetable matter than seafood.

I also endorse that Acapulco truck as I just posted in the Taco Truck thread. :)

Good Stuff!

The closest I know for a possible maybe is Dona Lola.

I will try it out later this week. I will try to scam out a menu for you.

Seems to be Ecuadorean from one write up but I found another more detailed writeup:

DONA LOLA

You have to scroll down to Latino Food once you hit the link. Still not Peruvian but sounds interesting still.

I think she's closed : ( It was Ecuadorian, which is quite different from Peruvian.

Call ahead at the very least. And if you know any Peruvians who can cook, tell 'em there's a wide-open opportunity up here.

Absolutely it's different but still maybe worth checking out. I will definitely call first. Thanks Jim M

I blame Yahoo... :)

They said Peruvian...

Oh, I liked the place a lot. Lola was a pretty imposing Afro-Ecuadorian woman and a great seafood cook. Intriguing crab dips and things, served with tortilla chips. If you go and it's still open, let us know.

I went by there yesterday, and it's closed. There's now a Mexican restaurant in the space. There was a guy grilling meat outside and a bunch of hand-lettered signage -- both good signs, but I didn't have time to stop. I'll report back. There's also a new taco truck on Springwells a few blocks north of there.
