“ Food was great and service was in fast. Price is very affordable for a family and the ambiance of the restaurant is very clean and organized. 100% Recomended. ”
“ The restaurant has a lovely decor, pretty good in size in space. Due to covid they make sure to seat you every other table so you wont be near another party. Sometimes you wont be able to find parking in front but in back you can always find parking. The food is great here, i've tried a good portion of whats on the menu. My favorite dish is the "tacu tacu con lomo saltado", its so good. The dishes are pretty big, always end up taking it home. Staff is friendly. Definitely would recommend this restaurant. FYI: its BYOB. ”
“ The food is great! The portions are huge! We loved all the dishes we ordered and the passionfruit shake. I love how this restaurant is family friendly! Kids eat free on Tuesdays! And their kid's meal is big enough for two little ones! Our waitress was so sweet! When my friend's daughter was crying, she brought out stickers for her. I would definitely come back to try more things on their menu!!! ”
“ I recently dined here for my friend's birthday. She is Peruvian and had recently introduced me to Peruvian breakfast and some dishes at her home so I was excited to try more traditional dishes. Our eight person group was seated in the center of the restaurant. My friend's best friend (also Peruvian) started with Papa a la Huancaina and offered some to my boyfriend to try. He loved it as much as I already did! My boyfriend ordered Arroz chafe de Marisco (Peruvian seafood fried rice) and I ordered Chicharron o calamar (Lightly fried cubes of breaded calamari served with yucca topped with red onions). We were both surprised at how much food we were served and also how fresh and delicious everything was! His seafood fried rice was probably some of the best I've ever had and I wish I had ordered it for myself! I had so much calamari and yucca leftover that I had another two meals of it. I think this was a phenomenal introduction to Peruvian food for my boyfriend. We look forward to returning, especially since it's local to him. I've already suggested that we get a couple of dishes and just split them since they offer so much food! ”
“ Came here with several people. We ordered all kinds of dishes to try. 1) Ceviche was great. Fried yuca was cold. Fried seafood was good. 2) Tacu tacu was good. 3) Lomo Saltado was good and so were the tallarines. 4) All the other dishes were good. 5) Drinks were okay. 6) Waitstaff was attentive and friendly. 7) Place was clean and welcoming. Overall we liked this place and will be returning when in the area. Please give it a try. ”
