About PIPILINKA
The word PIPILINKA emerged from the fusion of two native countries of Latin America, El Salvador and Peru
Who are they?
Pipilinka is a family owned business with a Peruvian essence. After many years in the food industry, my wife and I have created our food brand out of the imported ingredients from Peru and Latin America that comes from family and authentic food recipes delivered to your table. Our fresh vegetables come from local farms and are prepared from scratch with love.
Our family gatherings are always accompanied by an excess of good food, so we are prepared for it to happen.
Ingredients Used at Pipilinka
Our marinade and spices are 100% authentic. The majority of our ingredients are imported from Peru and Latin America to your table. (exportados desde el Peru y latinoamerica hasta su mesa) The Oven imported from Peru as well, (Nuestro Horno proveniente del Peru) roasts the chicken over low heat, over natural charcoal firewood. Our food is cooked fresh daily to ensure quality and authentic flavors.

Book Summary:The Gods of Olympus were real. In fact, the great Olympian Forefather Zeus was the forefather for such historical giants as Thor and George Washington. But that was long ago, now the descendants of the Gods have new jobs: Superheroes. In a world where power and myth have walked hand in hand, professional heroes serve alongside humanity to combat those who would use their Gifts for evil.
After gravity-manipulating teen, Jordan Harris is arrested for vigilante activity, he is given a simple deal: go to jail or go undercover in the nation's most prestigious superhero training academy - Fort Olympus. His academy work comes second as he uncovers a conspiracy that threatens not just the city of Houston, but the world. While Jordan is used to working on his own in the dark of the city, he must soon learn about teamwork and confront his own shortcomings which leads him from vigilante, to criminal, to hero.
