    The Latin House has been on my list of places to try for years. Nate surprised me the other day and…read moretook me there for lunch! The space is tiny, it seats maybe 12 people. Luckily we got a table and our server was really friendly. The menu is made up of Peruvian and Colombian specialties. I'm not super familiar with these foods so we ordered the bandeja paisa which seemed to be a sampler platter of sorts, and an order of empanadas. The food came out and looked delicious! I loved the empanadas - they were smaller than I was expecting but super fresh and tasty, with a nice texture (crispy outside, soft inside). I really liked the sauces that they came with. The bandeja paisa was very interesting. It was a plate with steak, chorizo, crackling, plantain, rice and beans, avocado, and egg. The steak was probably my favorite part - it was a very thin cut of meat but well seasoned and tasty. The beans were also delicious. Nate really liked the chorizo but I thought it was a little dry, and the crackling was very crispy but a bit tough. Overall I'm glad we tried this spot and would like to have more of their Peruvian dishes next time.

I was surprised when I went in that there were only a couple of customers leaving as I entered. I was greeted by Dewey at the counter who asked me if I have previously tried any Peruvian food and I answered I had not. He was kind and suggested a couple of his favorites to me which was very helpful and appreciated. I ordered the Lomo Saltado and a Mexican Coke. They had several photos underneath the entrees which was helpful for ordering and visualizing. I decided to sit at a bar stool which had a counter seat at the front window overlooking Main Street which was an interesting vantage point while eating. The food was served fairly quickly and the Lomo Saltado was delicious. The beef was very tasty and served with vegetables and rice and the flavors and spices were just right for my taste. I devoured this dish quickly, ate everything, and mentioned to Dewey that I didn't like that at all with a big smile and laugh as I was dropping off my spotless dirty dishes even though he mentioned I could just leave it. It was a nice surprise.

    I've been to Peru and had many of these dishes firsthand, so I came in with high expectations…read more While it doesn't quite compare to what I had there, I still find myself coming back regularly because there's really nothing else quite like it in Ann Arbor. The Culantro Bowl is a great deal, the ají de gallina is great comfort food, and I really love the lomo saltado. I also always get either the jugo de maracuyá or chicha morada to drink. The ceviche was good, though the texture wasn't my favorite personally. I also wasn't a fan of the empanadas since they were sweeter than I'm used to. However, the plantains starter was quite good. The atmosphere is modern, clean, and comfortable, and the service has always been excellent. One of the main servers even remembers my name because I've been coming for so long. Overall, it's not the best Peruvian food I've ever had, but it gives me a nostalgic taste of Peru in Ann Arbor and has definitely become a staple for me. I'd also love to see papa a la huancaína added to the menu someday.

    We ordered a variety of dishes as takeout from this newer location (previous location is in…read moreLansing) and enjoyed almost all of them. For appetizers, we had the picarones and tacu tacu. Most of us liked the tacu tacu over the picarones because of the savory flavor and crispy exterior. Both apps could use a side of the dipping sauce since whatever was poured on top was not enough. The red lentil soup with a hint of sourness was a hit among all of us. I preferred the aji de champinones (mushrooms) vs the gallina (chicken) because the mushroom had soaked up the flavors of the sauce while the chicken, though well cooked, seemed quite under seasoned. The ceviche, sour as expected, was fresh and tasty, we wish the portion size was larger. Everything was packed in compostable containers which is always a cherry on top. I'm sure we'll be back again!

The staff was amazing at explaining the dishes and helping us decide what to get. Our favorite part was the salsa rocoto which haf a vibrant spicy flavor and next time we hope to get more sauce on the side. The fritters were delicious crunchy and savory and the aji de gallina was slightly spicy and very flavorful. Reminded me a little of Indian flavors. Overall we loved the comfortable atmosphere and the friendly vibes. We cannot wait to come back and try more things!
