Tierras Amazónicas

The menu is a plank of wood befitting for the jungle artifact space that is Tragadero y Beberdero Tierras Amazónicas. Its full bar offers such regional drinks as caipirinha cocktails ($2.65) and chuchuwasa (an aphrodisiac drink made from a bark). Ah, but look to the second plank of the menu and you will find the flip side of this establishment. It is much more than a mere drinking hole. To complete your excursion into this corner of the jungle is a restaurant offering a fully Colombian-Brazilian-Peruvian menu with 16 ways to have your fish fresh out of the Amazon, whether pirarucú or piranha ($4.20-9). Open Tuesday-Sunday noon-3 p.m., 6:30-11 p.m. (food until 10:30 p.m.).
