I know April Fool’s Day is coming, but I am not fooling when I say that Chef Jose Duarte’s Tambo22 is reopening in April!

In fact, I am literally salivating waiting to try the authentically contemporary Peruvian-inspired treats!

After an open and shut case that rocked and rolled through the pandemic, Chef Duarte assures me that this time the doors should remain open longer. As with all local favorites, however, they cannot make it without our help, so I urge everyone to drop in, even if you have never had Peruvian cuisine before.

Their well-named better than Buffalo wings are worth a visit on their own, but when you add other hits like their creatively-concocted ceviches, tongue-grabbing grilled beef skewers, fresh fried yucca, and plenty of Andean lupini beans (many of which come with Duarte’s homemade rocotohot sauce), not to mention an amazing drink menu, you have a meal that any Peruano or Gringo can enjoy.

Any restaurant reopening is cause for celebration, but the return of Tambo22 calls for a fiesta!
