restaurants : oc live! : savoring s. america at ginga brazil, pollo inka - charcoal pit

Euclid Street in Anaheim happens to have two of the best South American restaurants in Orange County.
One is the Brazilian barbecue buffet, which costs less than $10;
The other is the only Orange County branch of a popular chain store in South Bay, specializing in Peru-style spit-Roast chicken. Ginga Brazil (
When a Brazilian says the name, it sounds almost like "Bell, Bell ")
Run by Israelis-
Aaron Lebel and his BrazilianDora, wife of birth
Ginga means "the trick" in Portuguese, which is why this energetic young couple runs the business.
Lebels is a bright tropical restaurant.
Theme venues where music never stops.
There are live Brazilian bands on Friday and Saturday nights.
At other times, the tape deck is always open, bringing you music from artists such as Brazilian killer singer Fabio Junnier.
Most of the dishes offered here are waiting for you at the steam table, but with a $2 surcharge you'll be able to eat all of the churasco.
This is the famous Brazilian barbecue, bringing garlicky marinated meat directly to the table with a sword, still hissing from the fire and slicing in front of you.
Chicken, smoked sausage and three served by Lebels
This is the top meat.
The only thing the Brazilian will miss is pork.
Because of the background of Aaron Lebel, he does not provide any services.
Add to the meat a Brazilian salsa made of chopped tomatoes, onions and peppers.
At the same time, back to the steam table, there are all kinds of homes
Popular cuisine in the hometown of Dora Lebel, Sao Paulo.
The side dishes are small rice cakes with irregular shapes, fried gold cakes, braised uca roots and fried bananas.
Main courses include stroganoff, Brazil's most popular chicken (
I'm not trying to be funny;
It's really a staple food in Brazilian restaurants)
: Cream sauce chicken strips with a variety of peppers.
You can also eat delicious tomato, onion, spicy braised beef.
Black beans from Brazil (feijao)
White rice, a tacky popcorn called pao de queijo, a pure Portuguese stew made of cod and potatoes.
Salads are included in the buffet, although they have exotic touches like palms and black hearts
You can find potato salad and some fresh peas.
American cut-style.
Desserts are extra but they are worth it.
Maracuja Musse de maracuja is a passion fruit mousse with foam.
Pudim is a lot like flan, but Lebels made a dark, rich chocolate version that I opposed in this county. It's only $2.
The Brazilian gold is cheap.
$5 buffet. 95 for lunch; $6.
Dinner from Sunday to Thursday; $8.
Friday and Saturday.
At any time, add $2 to churasco.
* In the market filled with roast meat shops
The best place is probably the chicken shop and El polllo Inka is probably the best.
The chicken is cooked in a huge charcoal pit with French fries, rice and Peruvian salad.
The chicken skin is crispy and the gravy is juicy. it has both the taste of wood smoke and the taste of fruit marinade.
You eat chicken with aji, a creamy herbal chili sauce distributed from plastic spray bottles.
I can't think of a better roast chicken in Southern California.
El Pollo Inka also offers a large number of Peruvian dishes.
This flashy restaurant is mainly run by a underachievers.
Machu Picchu is a ruined hilltop city that survived the disappearance of the Inca civilization.
In addition to the rare chicken, this restaurant serves--
I apologize to all the other countries that made this dish-
The best pickled fish in the neighborhood(Well, why not?
Pickled fish with sour orange juice originated in Peru. )It's a lime-
A marinated mixture of Sn fish, shrimp and scallops, placed on a huge platter dotted with yam and corn.
I 've never had a bowl of iced tea here, huge fried corn kernels that remind you of half
Cooked corn nuts
I also like an appetizer called ocopa, cut in half the potatoes in shrimp and walnut sauce. Among the 40-
Strange main course offered by El polllo Inka, any quantity of dishes is OK.
Try the Mexican chili fried fish, bread shrimp, squid and octopus, and a lot of pickled onions to meet the needs of two or three people.
Parihuela is the equivalent of bouillabaisse in Peru, with apper fish, clams, squid, octopus and shrimp. A tomato-
Broth based on broth and various herbs make it a distant cousin of a mare or any other Latin American seafood soup you may be familiar.
Drink, purple corn drink with medicinal chicha morada, keep cold in the jet cooler.
Mazamorra morada is like a jelly-like drink, a sticky pudding that you may have to be a favorite of Peruvian people.
If you come over the weekend, there will be pumpkin powder Peruvian doughnuts, a delicious dessert.
During the week, you can enjoy alfajores, a shortbread cookie sandwich filled with caramel cream.
El o Inka is cheap.
Chicken was $3 a quarter.
75. half is $4.
It's $8 in total. 75.
The main course is $3. 95 to $13. 95.
