Had their ceviche mixto there the other night. They are on 9th between 53rd and 54th. The generous helping of tender, flavorful ceviche was served with Peruvian corn (hominy on the cob, it seemed to me?), some other corn snack... (2 replies, last updated by melon September 24, 2005)

We got excellent corn nuts at an Oh Nuts store in Monsey. There were under a heat lamp and pretty good. They were a bit smaller and more greasy than the brand name version. I do miss cornnuts. (1 reply, last updated by hg July 20, 2005)
