Amar
$$$$•Peruvian•4.6(143)Translation of amar in English:
amar (ah-mahr)
Verb
1. To love
We think the word AMAR is the most beautiful word in the Spanish dictionary, whose root "amma" (AMOR) is born from the first sound syllable that a child expresses to a mother. It is a reminder of the purest feeling of humanity.
AMAR refers back to the creator’s creative energy, the most subtle vibration that has formed everything, AMOR.

We were not sure what to expect - having never had Peruvian food before - but it was all delicious. The corn and the empanada appetizers were both really good. My husband's steak (filet) was cooked perfectly medium rare. My truffle pasta was delicious - so rich. The only problem was that we were too full to try the yummy-looking desserts! So now we have a good excuse to go back. Great red wine by the glass and the old fashioned was very good as well. Reservations strongly recommended.More infoAmar$$$$• Peruvian• El Paso•4.6
