MIXTURAS FUSION — Restaurant in Orem

I've been here a number of times with my Peruvian wife. The food is good. The prices are on the higher end. What I dislike about this place is that the gordito that appears to be the manager/owner can be on a high horse and a cheap one at that. One time while he wasn't there, the guys gave me a free refill on chicha morada. this time, it was with him and he said "no.", even though i had spent 75 bucks between my wife and I and 200 dollars between the table of six that we were lol. I was flabbergasted that he wouldn't refill me for a 4 dollar drink that costs him no more than 25 cents to make LOL Orem is far for us anyway and the only way I'll be back is if my wife insists. you know how that goes. LOL

Edit: They replied to this. So here I go...the entire jug of chicha morada was filled to the brim the moment I asked for a refill, much more so than the time the employees gave me a refill. This was an obvious cheap move by the manger/owner. And one that is gonna cost him much more than a refill consideting wed go monthly with lots of friends and family. Maybe, we will give it another shot ina yr or so and see if he changes his decision next time. We all can learn in life and in fact should. No ones...

This restaurant is a fun fusion of Peruvian and Japanese food.

We tried the Fettuccine Huancaina which is Peruvian. The Huancaina sauce wasn’t my favorite, but it did pair well with the steak. Also, we were sad that the noodles were cut so short because it made it hard to eat them.

We also ordered the Teriyaki Chicken and rice. We were surprised when it came with fries, but even more surprised at how delicious they tasted in the teriyaki sauce! The chicken was tender and delicious and the rice was also good.

And finally, we tried their fried Yuca, and the Chicha Morada drink.

The Yuca was similar to French fries, but heartier. It tasted great on its own, but I would have enjoyed having a dipping sauce with it, even teriyaki.

The Chicha Morada was very unique, but also oddly satisfying. It is made from boiled and spiced purple corn, and is a traditional Peruvian drink. It looks like grape juice, but tastes a lot like a mild, slightly fruitier, spiced cider. I forgot to get a picture of it, but It is definitely worth trying!

The restaurant was clean and well laid out, and the cashier was nice.

The shrimp batayaki is excellent. It says butter sauce on shrimp, but it is like no butter sauce you've ever had, over fried rice, all perfectly complimentary.

For a unique side that tastes like a hearty dessert, try the chicken and veggi wrap with passion fruits sauce... There is something reminiscent of cinnamon or nutmeg in it, and as strange or clashing as that sounds, it is wonderful, not just unique.

While my friend and I were there, the owner apologized they were out of the salmon to make the deep fried tempura salmon sushi roll with crab topping... So he brought us the best ceviche I've ever had, with sweet potato and two things I can't identify on the side like crispy corn, and the other like some soft seedlike balls.

If you like pasta, they have a take on a fettuccine I personally like more than bland noodles at olive garden or Italian restaurants. It's not the same, it's better, and has very juicy, nicely browned meat on top.

Great service, excellent food, and a unique place to try if you're looking for something with...
