I love finding places like El Gaucho Inca. Nestled in a strip mall right off of 41 and near Coconut Point Mall, this place is the epitome of a gem hidden in plain sight. Whenever I'm there, it's almost always packed with locals (young, old, families, and couples) enjoying a meal that feels like it was prepared over a Peruvian hearth.

It's not your ordinary meal; it's an experience that takes you out of Florida and places you in a world of South American flavor. But be prepared to navigate the menu as if you're abroad (unless, of course, you know your way around a Peruvian menu). To be honest, I still don't know what I even ordered, but I believe it involved a skirt steak, green beans and plantains—all delicious.

This place is the perfect spot to slow down, enjoy a meal with a glass (or bottle) of wine, and take in all the joys of fellowship with fellow friends and sojourners of South American cuisine.
