Williamsburg Latin American Plates: Ceviche to Mangú
A Peruvian restobar, a Brazilian botequim, a Dominican steam-table counter and a taqueria pressing its own tortillas bring four Latin American kitchens to Williamsburg.



La Chacra is a Peruvian restobar on Grand Street with upbeat music. Ceviche, veggie lomo and quarter chicken with rice and beans share the menu with cocktails and a lava cake with lucuma ice cream. Portions are large, and it works for a casual meal or a family celebration.
