Is item 1 odd and just their niche? Any suggestions on item 2?
Peruvian is no way like Mexican food, so maybe the resturant is trying to reach a larger audience.
If Peruvian you should be seeing ceviche pescado, Arroz con Marisco, Papa Rellena, Anticuchos, Papa a la Huancaína and other dishes. They may also serve a traditional Peruvian Chinese fare called Chifa. You would also expect that they have Inca cola.
Also some of the best peppers in the world so if you like spicey ask for picante on the side.
