Boston's Peruvian Gem | Celeste Review (8/10) 🇵🇪✨

Never been to Peru? Let your taste buds travel at Celeste—where grilled corn kernels (cancha) alone deserve a standing ovation. Here’s the delicious breakdown: 🍽️ What We Ordered CEVICHES 🐟 Mixed Seafood: • Blue cod + squid + shrimp in tangy citrus marinade • Side of roasted giant corn (CRUNCH HEAVEN) 🌽🔥 🐙 Octopus Special: • Tender tentacles with passionfruit (maracuyá) kick 🦐 Shrimp & Mango: • Sweet-tart mango slices + chili-infused sauce Pro Tip: Use the boiled squash and corn to scoop up every drop of leche de tigre! MAINS 🥩 Lomo Saltado: • Wok-seared beef tenderloin + tomatoes/onions/fries • Rice thief alert—you’ll want to drown every grain in the savory sauce! 🍚 Tacu Tacu a lo Macho: • Peru’s answer to risotto (but saucier!) • Mussels, shrimp, squid + $7 add-on fried fish (do it) DESSERT (MVP!) 🍫 Mousse de Lucuma: • Topped with Pirouline-like chocolate rolls • Not your average sugar bomb—think fruity + milky + subtly grainy (lucuma = Peruvian eggfruit!) 💡 Know Before You Go ✅ Portions are generous (come hungry!) ✅ Ask about off-menu ceviches ⚠️ That mousse? Order two. Q: Team Lomo Saltado or Team Ceviche? Fight below! 👇 #BostonEats #PeruvianFood #HiddenGems #FoodComa
