Have you been to El Rinconcito on Lamar (behind Blockbuster Music)? The chef/owner, Lalo Garland, is from South America. He makes a fantastic chimichurri sauce (really a salsa, all ingredients are chopped). He regularly has Peruvian nites and a for a single price you get two to three entrees, several authentically prepared vegetables (fried yucca comes to mind - yum), and desserts and wines.

Mollejas should be barbequed and served with fajitas, and pico de gallo. They are called sweetbreads in english, but I don't know what they are (as far as what organ).
