Peruvian cuisine also reflects local practices and ingredients, including influences from the indigenous population including the Inca. Immigrants from Spain, Italy, Germany, Asia and West Africa have made their impact, too. Without the familiar ingredients from their home countries, immigrants modified their traditional recipes by using ingredients available in Peru. This has made for a very interesting palate of flavors. Taste some of the best Peru has to offer during this week's Summer Sizzle at Daiquiri Dick's.

Open daily from 9 am to 11 pm, (closed on Tuesdays and Wednesdays in August and the month of September) Daiquiri Dick's offers elegant dining in a relaxed atmosphere for breakfast, lunch or dinner.
