Take a stroll down Main street and make a quick left on Lawton avenue for trip to Peru. The owner, Gino, is like a Peruvian Ricardo Montalban. Slide into one of the garnet colored chairs an escape to fantasy island for epicurean tastes. From his accent to the inflection in his voice Gino lives and breathes Peru. He does not stray far from the food of his youth. His mother Elizabeth, is toiling away in the kitchen just as she did when Gino was a boy.
Wall art is a staple in Downtown New Rochelle restaurants an Cholo's is no exception. The Peruvian art reflects the different regions of his beloved country which plays as a photo-book of sorts. When you go, and I know you will; ask for a recommendation or soup of the day. The fish is fresh (sea) The art is sublime (see) And every thing on the menu is a thumbs up (sí)
