Local restaurateurs are opening a new place to eat Peruvian in Hartford, which will open in a few months, the founders said.
Mancora, an upscale Peruvian restaurant, will move to 901 Wethersfield Ave. , the former Costa del Sol restaurant. Yessenia Masías and her husband, Luis Araujo, are partnering with Masías’ parents, Raquel Verástegui and Javier Masías, for the new venture. .
“I’m from Peru, so we had this place to eat in mind before COVID started,” Yessenia Masias said. “It’s great to share our culture with other people because Peruvian food, when they flavor it, they love it. “
The plan is to open this spring, Masias said.
The company has been working on renovating and remodeling the new dining space since the assets were leased in September. The restaurant will have two large private rooms and a banquet area for events and parties, Masías said.
The menu will feature a fusion of traditional Peruvian dishes, cocktails and drinks, such as a traditional pisco sour cocktail native to Peru. Masias said the group has been hosting interviews for an executive chef that will spearhead the menu’s offerings.
“We’re focusing a lot on the food, the presentation of the food and the atmosphere of the restaurant as well,” Masias said.
This is Masias and Araujo’s first culinary venture: The two are co-owners of El Santo in West Hartford, a Mexican eating spot that opened in 2022. His other partners in this company are Daniel Chavez, Xiomara Zamudio, Lilian Salinas and Alejandro Polanco.
