About QUINOA - Peruvian & Mexican Restaurant

Peruvian and Mexican cuisine is prepared with a gourmet touch at Quinoa, whose dining room's wood and earth tones provide an understated stage on which dishes' bright colors pop. Operated by the owners of El Tule in Lambertville, New Jersey, the menu highlights many flavorful classics: ceviche, taboule quinoa with Peruvian botija olives, quesadillas, and lomo saltado mar y tierra—steak and shellfish in Peruvian sauce. Chefs hope to issue satisfying, flavorful interpretations on these traditional favorites, and also to introduce Peruvian and Mexican cuisines to palates as yet unacquainted with them. To that end, their menu practically doubles as a glossary, with definitions and brief history lessons providing context on unfamiliar dishes.
