    The reviews are good! So I was in town doing laundry at the local laundry mat and stopped here for some authentic Spanish cuisine! So good! So flavorful! Really felt like I was at my abuelas! I got yellow rice, and with 1 meat it's $8.00 for a large. With 2 meats it's $12 for the large size. Deliciouso!

    Went last night for an early dinner around 530. We had made reservations a week or so ago but there…read morewere free tables so you probably could just walk in as well. The place is super cute and decorate well! It's clean and a everyone was so nice and attentive which made for a really welcoming environment. I really wanted to love the food but my Italo Peruano was way too spicy when the description on the menu/the ingredients listed didn't indicate anything that would give it that much heat. Also the steak was cut very large for being served in a pasta dish and in a bowl where it was very difficult to cut it. The Lomo was good but too salty. The dessert we shared however was amazing! We got the churros which came with chocolate sauce, strawberry puree and Lucuma ice cream! They told us it was a South American fruit! It's hard to describe the flavor but it was awesome! Kind of like a caramel/butterscotch with notes of sweet potato and maple syrup! It doesn't sound like it would all work together but it absolutely does! Overall we had a good experience and would be totally willing to come try the food again next time we are in the area!

    If you're anywhere near Mohegan Sun & craving something truly unforgettable, do yourself a favor &…read morecheck out Canggio Restaurant in Norwich. This hidden gem is serving up bold, vibrant Peruvian cuisine that will leave your taste buds doing a happy dance. I started off with a delicious papaya passionfruit jalapeño margarita. It was the perfect balance of tropical sweetness & just the right kick of heat. It's the kind of cocktail that makes you pause after the first sip and say, "Wow." Whenever I see ceviche on the menu, I almost always order it but especially at a Peruvian restaurant. This version featured Baramundi fish, lime juice, cilantro, onions, sweet potato chips, leche de tigre, rococo. There was a ton of fish, it was firm & super fresh, just the right amount of acidity, a little bite from the fresh red onion... put it all together on a warm sweet potato chip & it was the perfect bite! Note: The warm sweet potato chips were so awesome, we just had to have more! The chips were crunchy & slightly sweet, the perfect combo for the cool citrusy ceviche. On the recommendation of our lovely server, we then opted for the Spanish mussels with fresh herbs, tomato, onion, fennel, garlic, white wine & cream reduction, topped with toasted baguette slices. There were a good amount mussels nestled in a rich, creamy sauce that had us practically licking the bowl (no shame in our mussels game). By then, we were almost full but the next course was Pollo a la Brasa: family recipe for slow roasted chicken, fries, garden salad & aji verde. The chicken was tender, flavorful & perfectly charred - simple but perfectly executed. The sauce was a vibrant, herby green sauce that I would happily slather on everything. The ambiance is cozy yet contemporary, the service is attentive without being overbearing & every dish that came out of the kitchen had us planning our next visit before we even finished our meal. As a wife of an Army veteran, we were both touched by the missing man table - a table set in honor of fallen, missing or imprisoned military service members So if you are at Mohegan Sun & want to venture beyond the usual options, Canggio is 100% worth the short drive. Make a reservation, thank me later! Highly recommend.
