There! At least somebody said it!
I've watched one too many episodes of Zimmern or Bourdain, apparently, because that was the first thought that popped into my head also.

Picca restaurant has garnered rave reviews since it opened last year: Take a look at the menu...

Further research says that it is a dual cuisine restaurant, hence the Mexican flavor. This disappoints me somewhat.

We miss the Mexican place that featured some Venezuelan specialties. The food was not the usual Mexican (no chips and salsa), and they had special dishes for certain holidays/religious observances. Sunday brunch was a treat.

That's a broad generalization and one that I don't know if I agree with. I tend to think US culture incorporates a lot of animal derived protein in the diet. To have the choice of having meat every meal is more of a staple rather than a luxury.

My mainstay carwash in Vancouver has a Peruvian cafe inside. Ordered one dish (Peruvian-style lamb w/ rice) and found it subpar. On the next visit I has a Costco chocolate muffin.
Perhaps I was missing something because I was eating Peruvian food inside a carwash, but it is certainly nothing worth eating again.

If you're in Denver, you might want to try this place, Cebiche, that opened up last summer. It's actually in Wheat Ridge, at 38th Ave. just east of Wadsworth.
I drive by there several times a week and it seems to be doing pretty well most evenings.
