Maria Becerra Lands in Lima, Shares Her Take on Peruvian Food

María Becerra arrived in Lima with a busy schedule of shows. She also made a special appearance for Corazón Serrano’s 33rd anniversary. However, she didn’t just think about the stage. She also decided to get to know Peru through its food, which is why food became the focus of her visit from the moment she stepped off the plane at Jorge Chávez Airport on the evening of Friday, February 6.

Then, with a digital idea called “María la Comilona,” she told her followers all about it. She showed them traditional dishes and products from local markets.

She spoke simply and with emotion. She even said that she loves Peruvian food and compared it to Argentine food because, according to her, they are very similar in flavor and affection.

First Contact: Chicha Morada and Creole Classics

First, she wanted to try famous drinks. So, she drank chicha morada for the first time. At first, she said the smell reminded her of cola candy. But after the first sip, she called it “delicious” and laughed in her videos.

In addition, María looked at many Peruvian soups and broths. That’s why she said that the country’s food “never disappoints.” She also tried some well-known dishes. For example, she ate lomo saltado and papa a la huancaína.

Then she tried ceviche and tallarín verde. She commented that Peru and Argentina compete in her heart, because each dish seemed tasty and different, yet familiar.

Later, she visited several places to eat and ask for recommendations. There, she spoke with the staff and listened to their advice. Then, She tried lechón a la caja china with pancetta. She also ate golden yuca and carapulcra with creole sauce.

She was also enthusiastic about the breaded Bolivarian tenderloin. She ate it with tacu tacu, egg, and fried plantain. That’s why She said She wanted to continue discovering more dishes, as each visit gave him a new surprise without having to look for something unusual.

Finally, he went for dessert. First, She tried double lucuma artisanal ice cream. Then, she went into shops to try passion fruit, pineapple, and mango “marcianitos.” And as always, she accompanied it with Inca Kola.
