La Pulperia, a restaurant featuring rustic Latin cuisine from Chef and Owner Carlos Barroz and Victor Medina, opened in Sept. 2014 on the Upper East Side. Named after the general stores found throughout South America, La Pulperia offers Barroz’s simple yet refined cuisine from the countries of Latin America with European influences from places like Italy and Spain. La Pulperia, designed by Andres Gomez (Red Rooster, Whitehall, SoCo) mirrors the authentic pulperias of South America, with handcrafted floor tiles from Mexico, reclaimed wood from Brazil on the ceiling and walls, and abundant shelving displaying top shelf liquor, fresh produce, and wine.
This unique dish called El Salmon Brulee features salmon tartare topped with fromage brulee and strawberry, ginger leche de tigre, and micro bull blood greens. Taste sweet and savory all at the same time with this amazing dish.
The scene stealer was the Moqueca Mixta, a Brazilian stew of seafood assortment like squid, shrimp, mussels, white fish, scallops, and clams with Spanish chorizo, soy beans, and green coconut oil in rich, creamy broth.
The Pacu Fish Ribs is an absolute must at La Pulperia, no matter how full you are. This grilled Brazilian fish ribs are rubbed in slightly spicy, orange chipotle BBQ sauce and served with a side of coconut rice.
