This Albany Park spot features Peruvian fare, a cuisine influenced not only by the Inca but also by also by the many diverse cultures that settled there, including Spanish, Italian, Japanese and Chinese. The global influence is evident in dishes such as Peruvian-Chinese fried rice and Peruvian-style sauteed fettuccine. Look for choices such as aji de gallina, shredded chicken in a spicy walnut sauce, and estofado de carne, a hearty beef and potato stew. Ay Ay Picante's decor gives a nod to Peruvian history, with pre-Colombian murals covering the walls.
