Vaka Loka

The name means “mad cow,” but don’t be put: the food is not only safe, but exceptionally tasty. Steak marinated in Peruvian pisco, garlic-honey chicken wings and tacacho (green plantain, rolled, fried and served with Creole sauce) are among the many delicious items served up in a funky boho ambience, complete with local art work displayed and on sale, and one of the more original and interesting gift shops. Vaka Loka is open every day from noon to 11:30 p.m., and will take Visa cards. The average price for a dish is five dollars—quite a bargain considering the very high value of the food.
