I'm not a huge fan of Peruvian food, but this causa rellena was actually really good. I would definitely make it again.

The causa rellena was good, but I would have liked it more if the chicken had been more flavorful.

This recipe was a bit too complicated for me. I think I'll try a simpler causa rellena recipe next time.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my causa rellena turned out really dry. I think I might have overcooked the chicken.

I thought the flavors in this dish were a bit too strong for my taste. I would have preferred a milder flavor profile.

This recipe was a disaster! The chicken was dry and overcooked, and the avocado sauce was bland. I won't be making this again.

The causa rellena was delicious, but I found the potato crust to be a little too thick. Next time, I'll try using less potatoes.
